WASTE DISCUSSED at Association’s Annual Banquet Tonight. / s Sy Representatives of industries which spend upward of a half-billion dollars annually in advertising, gathered here this morping in the Wardman Park Hotel in the twenty-first annual meet- ing of the Association of National Ad- vertisers, Inc., to delve into the Nation's junk heap, represented by enormous waste that goes into the distribution of goods throughout the country. ‘With all of the heads of departments of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Com- merce at his back, providing him with technical information, Dr. Prank M. Surface, assistant director of the bu- reau, conducted a question and answer bureau for the advertisers, going into every phase of industrial distribution.

Association Head Speaks. The vast field for elimination of waste in distribution was pictured by Bernard Lichtenberg, president of the association Hamilton Institute, in welcoming adver- tisers' representatives to the convention 2t the opening session this morning. Lichtenberg advocated the separation of “service” costs from the actual dis- tribution costs to give a true picture of the mounting efficiency of distribution. He said, in part: “We 'witness nothing but improve- ments in distribution methods. Market data are abundant, transportation 1s marvelously improved, store locations are carefully selected, co-operative m: keting and buying are effecting economies, salesmen are carefully in- structed, packing and packaging pre vents pilfering and deterioration. “But, under the head of these mod- ern selling costs now come a multitude of services which were not a part of the distribution costs a few years ago. Your automobile comes today fully equipped, whereas a few years ago you had to buy separately all the equipment. The serv- ice station offers many conveniences, bread comes in slices, meat in packages, chickens in cans, apartments with re- frigerators, houses with heaters, ice cream with its individual freezing plant, electric light with all sorts of service. Even the banks are putting services under selling costs. They make your will, counsel your investments, deliver your pay rolls, give your children all manner of presents to induce them to start savings accounts. “My purpose is not to decry the in- It is this: That service costs be properly allocated to a separate account and that they be not charged to distribution.

Dele- gates Do Not Vote. By the Assoclated Press. GENEVA, November 10.—The League's Preparatory Disarmament Commission today voted to limit the period of serv- ice for army conscripts by both a uni- versal maximum and by maximums for each nation which shall become a party to the general convention. The French delegation succeeded in including in a draft of this provision that these maximums should apply to all military forces on land and sea and in the air, Period Not Specified. The article in the preparatory draft, as adopted after protracted debate, reads: “In each contracting state hav- ing the conscription system the total | period of service which the annual con- | tingent is compelled to serve, whether | for land, sea ¢ air forces, shall not ex- ceed the figures accepted by each high contracting party, and in no case shall the figures exceed (blank) months.” The “blank” remains to be filled in. Hugh S. Gibson, the American dele- gete, took no part in ‘the discussion which preceded the vote. The German, Russian and a majority of the commis- sion members also abstained from vot- ing g’rhp debate was over the merits of two systems of limitation—a universal top figure for all contracting parties and a proposal thui each State fix its own maximum.

The commission seemed to feel that it had given more time to this point than its_importance warranted Over the week end a subcommittee succeeded in preparing in a form suit- able for incorporation in the draft con- vention the principles agreed upon in the London naval treaty.

BY REX COLLIER. Twelve years after the armistice, sentiment of a representative group of American citizens 15 divided not only on | the question of Germany's responsibility for the World War, but on the wisdom | of America’s entry into the conflict. A bulletin just issued by the Federal | Council of Churches discloses a great majority of educators, churchmen and | civic and business leaders do not hold Germany solely to blame for the war, ang that nearly one-third of them think the United States never should have entered the war. ‘The views were disclesed in answer to | questionnaires sent out by Kirby Page, periodical editor. Results of the sur- vey were made known in an article by Walter W. Van Kirk, associate editor of the Federal Council's bulletin. Twenty-five out of 31 college presi- dents who replied to the questionnaire were of the opinion that Germany and her allies were more to blame for the war than any other country, but a group of clergymen and soclal welfare workers was about evenly divided. Only 3 out of 71 in the church group contended that Germany alone was re- | sponsible. !""A total of 429 replies was received to | the questionnaire, which was sent to & | large number of leaders in the fields of education, religion, labor and business, To the question “Do you believe that | Germany and her allies were solely re- sponsible for causing the World War?" | 364 answered “no,” 48 said “yes,” and | 10 were in doubt. | That Germany was “more responsible | than any other power” was the belief of 209 persons, while 152 others held a negative view and 56 could not make up their minds. Of the 71 church representatives who replied to the query regarding “major responsibility” for the war, 27 denied Germany was “more to blame,” 26 fook an opposite view and 14 were undecided.
