Selling Better Liping
Number 2

Calvin Coolidge once related that when he was boy in the hills of Vermont the only merchandise he saw was in the country store but his horizon was broadened by the advertising of things that appealed to youth. With his desires aroused for the interesting and better things in life he strove to obtain them. Asserting that advertising performs a distinct public service, Mr. Coolidge ex- pIained, "It is essential in the first instance to produce good merchandise but it is just as essential to create desire for it"
 This, in nutshell is the service of ad- vertising As Calvin Coolidge implied the most useful household appliance, the long est-wearing rubber tire, or the best mousse trap in the world will never be popular if hidden from the public We cannot have desires for things we do not know about. No mot0rist was concerned about having knee-action in his car until he learned about it's advantages through advertising. Yet it represents marked improvement in riding comfort
 century ago it took long time to intro duce any improvement in the way of living. Even the example of President Fillmore who installed the first bathtub in the White House in 1850 failed to make people bath Unconscious. Fifty years later it still was an uncommon thing to have bathtub in the home. The invention was there but people did not care about it-not until advertising got on the job and sold bathtubs. Then everybody wanted them, and today no home is complete without one.
 Only short time ago our bathrooms were ugly as could be. Somehow, no one thought

of making them beautiful. But when manu- lecturers began to advertise artistic tile, tinted bathtubs, and beautiful plumbing fix lures, everybody realized how much pleas anter life can be with beauty in the bath room.
 Our parents and grandparents were well satisfied with the heavy staple foods of their time but we have learned to demand bal anced diet, with plenty of vitamins and min erals and goodly assortment of light salads and tasty desserts, to say nothing of out-of- season vegetables and fruits. Our food is much better today, because our eating habits have been changed by advertising.
 Where do you suppose the radio industry would be if manufacturers had not adver tised their receiving sets? Only fifteen years ago home radios were practically unknown. Few people cared about radio or thought it would ever amount to much. But the infant industry embarked on a tremendous adver- tising campaign, through newspapers, maga- zines, signs, and circulars, and in a miracu- lously short time radio sets were introduced into four out of every five homes in the land.
 It is the same with many other articles. Millions brush their teeth because advertis- ing sold them toothpaste and many children have even been persuaded by advertising to wash their necks and eat their spinach.
 Better living comes not merely through natural desires but through education, and advertising is one of the strongest forces in public education. Advertising is the sales man for better living.

Toward Labor Peace
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Once more the American Federation of Labor this time in the annual report of it's executive coun- cl, has bitterly attacked the administration of the National Labor Relations Act. The council declares that the Labor Board has "brazenly and by official acts declared itself proponent of the CIO foster ing it's interests and by the effect of it's decrees re- crued membership for the CIO" The council de- plores the wide discretion now given to the Labor Board under the law in fixing the manner and time of holding elections and in determining the proper unit" for the purpose of collective bargaining It declares that the Labor Board has sought to impose upon workers, regardless of their wishes the type of organization it favored.
 The demand for revision of the Wagner act grows constantly stronger. It is longer confined to em- ployers, or to the general public; the com plaints of the AFL show, many of the very workers whom the act designed to protect are growing Increasingly suspicious of it. Yet it should be clear that mere revision of the Wagner act would leave Insolved of the major problems in the field of labor relations. What is needed is a broad bal anced governmental program dealing with this field.
 The President has already indicated the way in which this great problem should be approached. The commission he appointed to study labor legislation and relations in England and Sweden turned in ob- iective informative and very helpful reports Though the commission contained representatives of unions, government officials and representatives of employers it's reports were concurred in by every member The most useful step the President could take now would be to appoint commission similarly constituted to outline broad program of labor legislation. Such commission might incidentally recommend revision ! of the Wagner act It might the other hand recommend it's repeal and the substitution of tirely new act or group of acts It might suggest Federal boards of mediation Federal labor courts It might indicate which role could best be played by the Federal Government and which by the separate States What is important is that it's recommenda- tions should not be confined beforehand to some narrow point, but should be broad the com mission thinks necessary.
 It is doubtless too much to hope that commits sion containing representatives of both workers ano employers would bring in unanimous set of recon mendations. But it is not too much to hope that there would emerge central of recommen- dations upon which all the members agreed and tha from majority and minority reports Congress woulc be able to devise some compromise generally accep- table. Industrial peace in this country friendly consultation and negotiation between the representa- tves of workers and employers. There can be nc better way of moving toward greater industrial peace therefore, than to ask the representatives both O. workers and employers to share in the common effort to frame suitable public policies for governing their future relations
