Mellon Gives a Secret Europeans who come to America marvel at our success. They are given various reasons for it, sich as our vast natural resources, creating a prosperity which they regard more or less as undeserved, Andrew W. Mellon made a speech the other day and in it he gave a few reasons for our prosperity that might well be handed on to any guests from other countries who drop in on us. “We have found in this country that, by investing saving devices, we can increase the productive capacity per capita of labor and also eliminate waste, which is such an important factor in the attainment of national prosperity. In this way we can pay high wages and still reduce costs, so that the finished products are still within reach of the average man. This, in turn, increases con- sumption and still further stimulates production. In the end we find that it pays to manufacture in quan- ! tity and to make a large volume of small profi That is the secret of our success in America.” Mr. Mellcn merely told a truth that Americans | are beginning to take for granted.

It has been asserted that the anti-rail- road Cummins of a quarter of a century ago has in course of time become a pro-railroad Cummins. Mr. Cummins was never really anti-railroad. His opposition was not to the railroads, but to the abuses There were enough of such abuses in days that are gone by.

That work had its fine flower in the Esch-Cummins rail- road act of 1920, and especially in the “fair return” That provision was not a guaranty. The fact that it was not a guaranty has been demonstrated by the fact that it has failed to guarantee.

It laid down the broad basis of a public policy regarding the railroads. Vague though it was, the “fair return” provision gave the railroads a feeling of security which en- abled ‘them to go ahead with their great program |for the improvement of their plant. That improvement, which has been under way for five years, has not attracted much public attention; yet it is comparable to the establishment of a sound ; money system after years of demoralized credit and currency.
