Whose ADVANTAGE?

Every business worth his salt knows that only
deal in which both buyer and seller satisfied by which
both profit is worth making The deal in which party
gains an advantage at the of the other good
IN the long run No permanent business, permanent
system of trade can be built that basis.
That for trade between nations well as for
trade between people We have found that country
can continue indefinitely to buy than SELLS to be
placed at permanent disadvantage. international trade
never comes out exactly There always odd
balances to be settled But a permanent matter ex-
change between countries must later into
something like balance Each country must dispose
what it has too much Of and receive equal value in the
things it needs
That general principle throws light on Herr Hitlers
recent speech in which he outlined his principles of inter-
money considerations he said; he going buy
the German people, not but goods So far good
the basis Of German advantage II it's good for Germany
we shall trade"
The Coombans found out about German advantage
They sold huge quantities of coffee to Germany for
blocked marks, money" which good only Germany
IN short for credit against German goods when, and
IL German goods they wanted should be available The
Germans then took the coffee and instead of drinking it
themselves, sold it around Europe to Colombias regular
customers at trick prices Colombia lost the coffee lost
its regular markets. and got nothing but credits in Ger
many Because that credit good nowhere else, they
had to take what Germany offered at Germanys prices
They didn't like the deal much though it certainly
"on the basis Of German advantage"
Mark the difference between this and sheer barter
There nothing wrong with straight barter deal Had
Colombia snapped much coffee for equal value in
roadscrapers, no one would have been the off,
But il wasn't like that Colombia was forced in effect
mortgage large chunk of her future purchasing power
TO Germany, which is something else again.
Had she received money instead she could have gone
elsewhere the world and bought what she needed That's
the advantage of money. It's not that barter, in nd
vidual international deal, is wrong 1t is simply
that it is q makeshift, limited system which restricts
rather than facilitates trade.
Hitler may rail against money, but convenient
medium Of trading is not to be abolished by speech,

Two Negro housemaids en-
Toying Their day off" together
were discussing matters Of daily
routine when one said 10 tbs
other:
Linda. don't see how YOU
keep so happy all the time with
all the work you does. You don't
never worry and I never seen YOU
when you wasn't laughing. How
you do it?
To which Linda replied:
Amt nothin' strange about
that. Use always happy because
when sits I sits loose and when
l worries 1 go to sleep"
There is lot of sound philoso-
ply in that. To sit loose or
relaxed is the only way to rest.
People who can do that last
longer and accomplish a great
deal more than those who don't
let down the tension. And as
for worrying. the only time 10
do that is when you are sound
asleep and don't know that you
are worrying.
Once upon a time somebody
said the American people like TO
be fooled. Whether or not that
is true. there is no doubt that the
American people like to kid
themselves. For proof, see the
arguments in congress over the
British aid bill. Senator Charles
McNary of Oregon, Republican
candidate for vice president and
that party's leader in the senate,
says he is taking no part in the
debate on the bill because it is
futile.
members OF congress know
how they are going TO vote on
the bill and no amount Of argu-
ment can change them" he said.
mo matter what our personal
feelings may be, the bill is going
to pass"
Yet there are thousands of
persons who think that the ar
guments against the bill are
really having some effect and
may ultimately cause its defeat.
The senator from Oregon knows
whereof he speaks.

Editor. The Times: Al Nelson

Barney Jackson so he could
think up some kind of bill that
would put men out of work.

pulp business is? How does
he know the pulp mill waste is
poisonous, as he puts it? Maybe
he can prove that. I would

Nelson can show me one, but l

down when tests were made and

lutely harmless to the fish.

flock down where the pulp mills
