FORT CUSTER, Mich, May

The big guy" drafted from a

he stepped down from the special

AMERICAS ANSWER

"Americo's answer to postwar COM
petitive problems must be increased ef-
ficiency," soys Harold 6. Mouton, pres
ident Of the Bookings institution
Both during the war and otter, un-
ceosing attention must be given to the
problem Of reducing the cost Of produc-
tion."
From the domestic point of view,
there is still another need of almost
equal importance Thot is to hold down
and, if possible, further reduce the cost
Of distribution 1t is opporent that if q
saving mode in the factory is dissipoted
bywoste in the complicated distributive
process, the consumer is not benefited
And in the cose Of many widely-used
commodities, the distribution cost is as
large or larger than the manufacturing
cost.
And here is where mass merchon-
disine enters the picture 1t is as es-
sentioI port Of our economy as mass
production. The two 90 together
either would be ineffective without the
other. 1t is to the everlasting credit
Of American retailing that mass distri-
button has been brought to higher
peak Of efficiency here than anywhere
else in the world.
Mass distribution was pioneered by
the chains. They have been followed
with greet success by progressive inde-
pendents. Mass distribution exists in al
most all retoiIs fields - foods, shoes,
variety stores, drugs, household furnish
ines, clothing, etc. And ip all those
fields it has succeeded in steodiIy lower
ing the cost Of transferring goods from
the foctory to the home Of the user.
We need increasing efficiency in re-
telling, not Iess-ond one way to get it
is to repeal all laws which penoIize one
kind OF store to old another kind, and
which otherwise interfere with the free
competitive process. There's no room
tor preventoble woste in this country
todoy.

JUGULAR VEIN OF LIBERTY

Those who sit back and cynicolly
condemn the banker as q parasitic
money changer, ore helping to place
their own future in peril. They are suf-
ferine from q great and troeic miscon-
ception. The banker represents privote
savings, and Privote savings ore the
backbone Of private opportunity.
Money and credit ore fundamentally
the privote property Of the people and
must be euorded as such by privote cit
liens. Our bankers are private citizens.
They are the stewards of our money and
credit, nothing more. The billions which
we the people have deposited in their
care, belong to U.s. Therefore we have
set up stringent framework of regu-
Iotion around the bankers to guide
them in the utilization of our money
and to protect us against those who
would abuse the trust we have placed
in them.
History has shown thot whenever q
government succeeds in gaining con-
troll Of O peoples money, it sooner or
later gains control Of the people, too.
Our system of free enterprise, which
includes everything from the smallest
truck farm to the largest corporation,
depends utterly on the maintenance Of
q money and credit system that is not
dominated by government. Privote
banking with it's thousands Of indepen-
dent community banks is one Of the
strongest bulworks against an outocro-
tic government throttIine the ugulor
vein of liberty.

SCENE STEALER
GETS CUE-ON HEAD
There are several kinds of
scene-stealers. Children and
animals are naturals because au-
diences watch them even when
they're not doing anything.
Then there are muggers, such
as Mickey Rooney, and station
airy acrobats like Jimmy Stew
art, who likes to put his hands
in his pockets and rock on his
heels. Jack Oakie Is the most
notorious fy-catcher; even If
he's in the background he'll in
vent some little piece of business
such as scowling and putting
at a cigar that has gone out
that keeps you watching him.
w. c. Fields Is famed for once
having swatted a hy-catcher in
to inconsistencies. It was dur
ing his pool table act on the
stage. After wondering why the
audience kept snickering, Fields
discovered a rival comic hidden
under the table and Glowing
in pantomime. He bopped the
interloper with his cue.
