GREAT BRITAIN ’S RIVALRY
In a 1 ruling article in The World's Work on "Our Unfortunate Rela
tions with Kiv <>]!<•:m Governments," the \yi:t<- nwk. s the following reflections
on the relations beween Great Hr!: in and the United States: —
"America is far richer th.m Gr :t Britain. not only in resources, hut —
thanks to five years <>f war—in money, in investments, in shipbuilding facili
ties. in manufacturing plairts, and in everything which makes a nation male"
ially powerful. If we are to believe those philosophers who preach that
great commercial rivals must inevitably become great p iiiic*;s 1 rivals, this state
of affairs bodes nothing but ill to British-American relations. All through
the centuries, these prophets of gloom assert. Groat Britain has made Tt her
business to destroy the economic power of that particular nation which has
seemed likely to .outdistance her commercially: first Spain, then Ibdland.
then France, and now. finally. Germany, have paid tlie penalty of attempting
to rival the mistress of the seas. Inasmuch as the United States is the only
rival, we—so the theory runs—shall he the next victim. Americans who
have the slightest acquaintance with history smile at such propaganda.
■Moreover, the fact that lies deepest in the consciousness of Americans is the
sense of their own power, their own destiny, and their ability to take care of
themselves in the face of any danger that, can possibly assa.il them: it is alro
no secret thru the highest amhtition of enlightened British staltesmanshij) is
to maintain livable relations with the United States. Yet we must recognize
that, while it is net likely that business rivalry will make lasting trouble be
tween the two peoples, it is only in the commercial field that there are any
danger points.

8AM BROWN HATED ADVERTISING
Sam Brown hated advertising. He
lcspJsed the circular that was placed
•>n his desk, and he disliked the ads
:n the street cars. He detested the
newspapers that shrieked “Bargains
Today", and he wished that all ad
vertising houses, advertisers and ad
vertising solid tors were in hades. Sam
Brown was an ordinary man. but he'
was obstinate. He abhorred publicity
and be know It. But one night he saw
i. crest tight. He had a dream. And
Bii* Is what ha dr ■■■ad.
that he awuhi oat ■urging la a
world that was free from advertising
He went to the grocer to purchase
some breakfast food for bis wife All
the gr*x*er’s goods were put 'tip in
plain r ackages. Ho couldn’t '-nnei.i
her the nsune of the stulT, took the
first thing: handed him and got the
duece from his wife. Out on the
street 'the ears shot post, with no
names on them. Sam took a chance
and boarded the wrong one. (iot off
at tine wrong street, because the con
ductor did not shout out the street
In his office building he enters a
manicure shop instesid of his own
place. There was no sign on the
doorp. He had to walk from the sec
ond to the tenth floor, as it was against
the rules of the elevator boy to call
At his desk hr finned. Where wis
the (mail mnn? Oh There was only
out- mail a day, as the mail was very
light since advertising was prohibited.
Where’s the phone book? Not allowed
its advt>rtising. Firing in the letter
from Smith and Company. The poor
stenographer could not find it. There
were no names on any of the letter
Sam "Brown started to kick. No
Advertising? How could he tell what
show wp* in town. How could he pick
out his favorite brand of cigars with
out the hand around them.
And where was his little cigar cut
ter? Sam started to figure it out.
Where was the little silver pencil that
the jeweler presented to him? It was*
a little soui'i nir when he made some
purchase, done too. All those little
desk blotters, match stanrisj*>pin trays
and rulers, all those little useful gifts
from his business friends had been
prohibited by Non-Ad-Society. What
day was it? No calender. Of course
not. that was advertising.
That was too much: it infringed o;:
Sam's personal affairs, Sam thought.
Maybe there was some good in adver
tising. Perhaps he was wrong and
the rest of the world wa> right. Those
little tokens that he treasured so were
gone. He had never thought of those
as advertising. They always come
under the head of gifts from apprecia
tive folks to whom he had always giv
en his business. Ft’s a shame! There
ought to he a law against advertising.
S< mething ought to he done.
• Twinkle, dinkle. d inkle went the
alarm clock, and Sam Brown awoke
again upon a world full of advertising
But he had seen a great light, and In
had learned to appreciate advertisj-'
