A Blow TO Prejudice


The Patman bill to destroy the
large chain merchandising systems
of the country has been introduced
again in Congress. Oddly enough,
1t was placed in the legislative hop
per just about the same time thai
two of the highest governmental
sources were issuing reports and
statements which absolutely re-
fute the principal argument in sup
port of the Patman bill-7-the chains
tend to drive independents out of
business. M .f-
Addressing "a group of independ-
ent retailers in Chicago, Corwin d.
Edwards, of the antitrust. division
of the Department of Justice, de-
clared fatty that there is mo evil
dence to support the view that the
chain stores are driving indepen-
dent merchants out of business
and confronting the American peo-
pie with monopoly of food dis
Inasmuch as Mr. Ed
wards is a noted economist, who |
has been studying the retail indus |
try thoroughly in order to obtain |
factual material which may be
used in antitrust action by his de-
partment, his statement came as a
hard blow to the enemies of the
chains.
And that wasn't all, The Tenn
porary National Economic Com
nittee, which has been inyestigat-
ng alleged monopoly in many
ines of business for some time,
las issued a study by another eco
DIR. A. c. Hoffman. Accord
ng to DR.. Hoffman, MASS distri-
,ution is as inherently a part of

luetion in industry"
This is certainly discouraging to !
of the Patman bill. On
he other hand, it is definitely en-
to the consumers of !
who know that the surest
gay to maintain our standard of
living is to encourage honest, open !
between independents, {

You Are Lucky Today

The last century was period OF
unbelievable progress. But in no
field was. greater progress made
than in care Of the sick, and in ad-
vancing the standards of public
health.
A century age, for instance, an
esthesia for surgical operation was
unknown-it did not come into use
until 1870. And even later, in Civil
War days, hospital death rates OF
20 per cent and more were not un-
common. Nothing was known OF in
fectious diseases, the germ theory
had not been heard of, and sterili-
cation of instruments and dressings
was never practiced. Not until
1868 was a start made in curbing
and controlling infection.
Startling is the fact that 80 out
of 100 American hospitals were
founded within living. memory.
Fifty years ago hospitals were
confined to large cities
lin small towns and rural areas
operations took place at home, by
the light of kerosene lamps and
&c open vessel steaming on stove
as sterilizer. The medical men
were not content. 1t was due to
heir initiative that hospitals in
smaller .centers were gradually es-
ablished.
The whole history of medicine
s a history of individual effort-of
ireless private initiative-of un-
;elfsh men fighting the endless
var against disease aud public ig-
torrance. And all of us lead hap
'ier, fuller lives because of it.

a long way to go before we can
feel secure.
There is another phase of de-
fense, to which more attention will
be paid as time goes on. That task,
which we can tackle in earnest as
soon as we achieve quantity pro-
duction, is the. development OF new
and better materials for defense.
American ingenuity and inyen-
tiveness are our greatest asset. Is
there anything which they could
not accomplish, with sufficient
time? Is there any doubt that our
technicians, our research-if given
time-can make us invulnerable?
One Industrial concern, which is
contributing in an important way
to defense production, has an ex-
position on the road to show the
value of research. The exposition,
which is known as the Parade of
Progress" and is sponsored by
General Motors, was recently re-
built and revised. Observers who
have seen it have expressed some
surprise that the lessons of peace
apply to defense.
Some of the developments men
toned. which give promise of
greater national strength, are al
ready in production, while others
may be little more than a hope for |
the future There are tiny, mer-
curry vapor lamps which have pos
sibilities as searchlights for air.
fields; lightweight high-powered
electric motors using glass insulat-
ing tape; lightweight metals, such
as magnesium, used in aviation en-
gines; laminated plastic-treated
plywood for airplane wings; syn
thetic rubber for tires; and many
other radically new devices. Quite
the main lectures are
held in a tent which is poleless and
quickly set up and taken down.
Charles f. Kettering, General
Motors research leader, sounded
the keynote of the new exposition
when he said that the permanent
defense of America, both in the
Immediate future and in succeed {
ing years, will require greater in
genuity and inventiveness, more s
with old and inefi- I
icent ways of doing things, and {
more real hard work than ever be- !
fore. '
This will strike responsive
chord among forward-looking Am {
orleans who are too busy to lose {
in the future. t
