(Abstracted from article in the October IL issue
of "Business Weekly
The high point of the convention of the Coopera-
tive League of the U.S.A. In Chicago last week

alive ready to lend to then. Hitherto cooperaives
have had trouble getting credit backing, because
operators typic ally folks of small means and
somewhere behind credit there must of always
be good-si zed banroll.
The consumer cooperatives' to finance them
selves is sign cant because aft lated co-ops such
farm insurance companies really control lot of
money. Moreover, they getting lnee-deep into
manu- featuring commodities handled through their
stores which is clearcut nproduction for The
consumer cooperatives actually beginning to a.
chieve conslmer-producer ownership and democratic
which previously had been their theory than
their practice. But while greatly strengthened even
since 1895, the cooperative movement Is still far
more interesting as potntiality than reality.
It eds genius to harness useful1y the
energy and emotion that the typical member puts into
his local coop. IF ever that leader arises, pri-
vately owned business may get for its money.
Forty years ago the farm marketing co-ops, such
elevators and creaaeries, bitterly fought by
the businessman against whom they competed. In the
interval they have been accepted normal institu-
tions. The purchasing cooperattves, the
other hand still regarded wi tn suspicion and
pen antagonism. Easing tension of this kind Is
of the princtpa jobs of the Cooperative League the
educaa ona1 agency of the movement. Meanwhile, fig
1o3o-only nat on-Nide survey made of the coop
purchasing societiesindi Gated that movement Is
still very definit ely in it's early adolescence
growing fast.

When a manager is hired by board of directors of
a cooperative society, he is hired to manage the
business of the society," not to be personal friend
to each of the directors. If he comes to new

his way by too eager members. When that society
shows steady healthy increase under his guidance,

of the letter.

charge that either major party would risk consid
running communist for vice-president.
should like 70 point out however that one who
regards cooperatives as communistic is faced by
ton. For Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Mllkie and Mr.. Thorn
as have all publicly endorsed cooperatives.
Mr. Willkie, for example, in his acceptance
speech at Elwood, Indiana, stated: Ut believe in
the encouragement of cooperative buying and seling
cooperatives also received the pre-convention
endorsement of NJ. Dewey, Senator's Taft and Wheeler,
and Governors Bricker and Aiken.
Religion also must be problem to who be-
lieves cooperatives are comnunistic. For cooper
ment of the Pope, the National Catholic Rural fe
Conference, the Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America the Central Conference of Amer
lean Rabbits, the International Missionary Council
and many other church groups.
Cooperatives have played major role in the
economic life of the scand navian countries to which
have looked for the highest development of the
democratic life.
In Great Britain about ten per cent of the total
retail trade is transacted through cooperatives.
Perhaps the most convincing evidence of the an
tithesis of cooperatives and conli SIN should have
the between Russia and Finland. Nowhere
have cooperatives been successful than in Fin
land. Surely wi third Of the families of Fin

coumunistic, would have been needed for CON-

cooperatives helped give to Finland that made her

Fouls and Goggin Tie

Great Finish Promised
As ChoIIeneers Push

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 27.-One
of the greatest finishes in the tour
nament's history appeared likely
today as the field drove toward the
halfway point of the 72-hole St.
Paul open golf championship with
two stars tied for the lead and sew
eral challengers in position to pass
them and capture medal honors.
Setting the pace were two veteran
professionals. Jim FOULS of Chicago
and Willie Goggin, who now regis
ters out of Chicago but has done
most of his playing at San Fran
cisco. FOULS, working on a first
round SO, carded 5-under-par Ct
today for l36-hole aggregate. Cog
gin, with 10 to his credit, turned
IN brilliant 6-under-par card of 66.
Goggin had seven brides on his
round, going over par only once.
FOULS likewise slipped over regu-
lation figures only once on round
marked by brilliant approach shots.
Three shots back were Frank
Moore of Detroit, who had a second
round II for a 139 total, and Tony
Penna, Dayton, Ohio, who had 10
today for his l39 aggregate.

BALTIMORE, July 27.-Harry
Jeffra of Baltimore, the defending
champion, and Spider Armstrong,
the Toronto challenger, tapered of
today in their training, for their
l5-round fight here Monday night
for the featherweight boxing crown.
Both of the 126-pounders have
shown lots of stuff in their train
ing routine.
Armstrong, who has long string
of knockouts to his credits, has dis
played vicious right-hand wallop.
Jeffra, who won the feather title
by beating joey Archibald in May,
used looping overland right to
good advantage in that fight and
word from his camp is that he still
has it working well.
Neither will have any trouble in
making the 126-pound limit.
