Those who are governed least are governed best. THOMAS a free competitive economy could not exist. Without advertising, the chances are that the United States would never have become what it is today the country which has produced and distributed more goods among its people than any other country on earth. Hence it is reassuring that Ijoon Henderson, price administrator of the OPM, has laid down in very definite j terms his own feeling on the place of advertising in the defense effort and the present situation in general. It has been freely rumored that Henderson was antipathetic to i advertising, though he always denied it, and that some sort of restrictions might be laid down to govern its use. o t KdMNi program which I was particularly interested to you may have seen mentioned a the read in Washington or and your time a twp of today, which appears on navv would not 'lately, like it if their this page, the following statements battleships had no starch in them by those ace newsmen.

Advertising, he is reported as saying, is the cheapest and most effective means of distributing goods, and in an expanding economy there is a place for even more of the right kind of advertising than at present. Further, ad-- vertising, the total of which equals only two per cent of the value of all manufactured goods, has not even been considered as a major cost factor in the fixing of price ceilings. Except in some particular case, in which an industry might claim increased advertising costs as a reason for claiming price increases, the OPM inclines to leave the decision of when and how much to advertise entirely to the 'advertiser. Further, he indicated, when peace comes again, and the problem of turning defense production back to civilian uses becomes paramount, advertising will have an even greater job to do in moving the goods whose production in peacetime factories will give work. i i ' These are sensible points of view, and everyone who is familiar with the facts of the production and consumption goods in a free economy knows them to be true. Ij Advertisers, like everybody else, have their responsibil-itie- s to the whole people, to the nation, and to its defense; t advertisers, like everybody else, are subject to certain common hazards in these times.

Sokolsky liked John Lewis, his ideas, his organization or his tactics. He is an arrogant bully. He believed that lie could permanently buy the president of the United States for $500,000. He became vengeful when the president expressed some independence. "For seven years, the president has played ducks and drakes with the welfare of the United States while he sought ways and means for the appeasement of Lewis hatred. anger, envy and arrogance. The time has come for the American people to act in their own in- content. Russian mines are now shut off completely. Shipping shortages have interrupted deliveries from Africa and India. The U.
