Advertising alone, of course, cannot make a suc- cess out of any business enterprise. But backed by goods of merit, by service, and business judgment, it stands out for the achievement it performs every day in the year.

The bipartisan conference of “progressives” which opened in Washington yesterday has for its object, we are told, the mobilization of public opinion be- hind a program of legislation ‘based on fundamental principles rather ‘than political considerations.” | Among its chief sponsors are those figures in Con- 'gresfl who delight to play the role of the enfant! }Lerrible in party councils, scorning prudence, ecir- {cumlocution, political expediency.

The latter are not asked to contribute anything directly, though the right is reserved to call upon them, in a period of unemployment long extended, to give 1 per cent of their wages to the reserve fund, at the same time that the companies agree to turn in themselves an extra amount equal to that derived from the employees. The whole is an untried field in this country, and ventures into it can best be undertaken at first by large concerns or industrial groups. The lessons to be learned from their experience can then be put at the disposal of the State when it sets out to legislate for working men and women whose employment is not insured in other ways. ‘We cannot do better in such matters than to pro- ceed by the method of trial and error.
