Senator Reed says that the
League of Nations is dangerous.
We are of the opinion there are
about two hundred thousand
young Americans who could tel!
him that war is also dangerous;
thrre million more who could say
that it is at least unpleasant; a
hundred million other Americans
who would say that it i.;; expen
sive; and some fifty thousand
American mothers who feel that
it is heart-rending, to say noth
ing of the millions of mothers
who would say that U a great
orator of anxiety. So if a
League of Nations will prevent
war or even lessen the number,
we are willing to try it once.
Tfie victory for the League of
Nations before the voters was
pufted off in Pennsylvania last
week when a Republican district
elected a Democrat to Congress,
the issue being the league.

An alvertisinjr campaign t
promote nmre linul and national
fidvertMino- i planned by th
United State department of
labor and H receiving the sup
port of b urner men and o.n
merrbd organization 4.
The plan proposed by the de
partment of labor is ant forth in
the following letter that ha
been sent by the department to
various advertising agencies:
"It is the desire of the depart
ment of labor to stimulate busi
ness by suggesting to present
advertisers that they increas
their space and to prospectiv
advertisers that they bring their
pians to a head and start adver
tising immediately.
"The surest and quickest waj
to bring business to a pre-war
basis is to overcome the genera
apathy to buying which exists in
the minds of many people at
present. Advertising will do
this.
vve wouiu use n see mor
retail advertising and more na
tional advertising and vve believt
mat the press of the country ano
yourselves will appreciate th
fostering f such a movement b
the department of labor.
"May vve ask you to" prepart
one or more advertisements for
the department of labor carrying
the message outlined? Your co
operation is earnestly desired.
"Publishers of newspapers ant
magazines of general circuiatioi
will bo asked to run this cop;,
over the signature of the Unitet
States department of labor, it
secretary, W. B. Wilson, and
the director general of in forma
tion and education. .
"Regarding the size and ap
peal to be used, this we believe
is a matter which your own
judgment will easily determine
It is imperative that this
movement be gotten underway
at once. Therefore it will be
appreciated if you will plan to
send your copy as quickly as
possible to Mr. W. C. Eckhardt.
"Address United States De
partment of Ldor Information
and Education Section."
The Chicago Association of
Commerce "is among the big
bodies of business men that has
indorsed the movement. Presi
dent Merrick made the follow
ing statement reparding the
plan:
"The idea is a great one,"
said President Merrick. "Psy
.''oology is playing a mighty part
'n f.xing the present attitude of
he general public, producers
and retailers as well as consun.
ers. "An advertising campaign
wisely and broadly conducted
will drive the last traces of
pessimism from the public mind
and prove convincingly that this
is the time for optimism and
ation.
"That's wbat the country
wants action. We will have it,
and with it greater prosperity
than we now realize just as
soon as we oust the few doubt
ers, still found in the ranks of
men in many lines of business.
"I believe that right now is
the time to jump in and adver
tise, to advertise your products
and to advertise general ponfi
dence and increased business.
U'e ought to have vastly more
national advertising and more
local retail advertising.
"We would like to see more
retail advertising and more na
tional advertising, and wre be
lieve that the pre33 of the
country will appreciate the
fostering of such a movement by1
thff department of labor. It l
Imnerutiv that thU movement
Lu gotten under way at once."
