Competition has been definite- ly ended, as a war measure. Instead of try- ing to attract business, the average mer- chant has to discourage it in his attempt to comply with price regulations and other restrictions which became inevitable when the natural laws of supply and demand, and free competition, were suspended. The new system has been cheerfully ac- cepted because war made it necessary. Out of this necessity, we will gain valuable ex. perience. We will have a practical example of how reacts on the consumer. The effect would be laws passed in peacetime to destroy petition, as it is from time, which eliminate competition. Under peacetime competitive retailing consumers were able ‘to buy what they wanted, when they wanted it, at reasonable prices. Their standards of living rose year The establishments in which they made their purchases, whether chain or in- dependertly operated, steadily beeame more attractive and sanitary. Service became bet- ter. These things the public came to take for granted .without realizing that they com- by year. would not have oceurred but ior the magic | is the of wholesome competition which Landmaiden of progress. The war emergency should warn all of us against peacetime crippling of competi- ; tion. When peace returns, the free competi- tiv stem should be restored. Frozen prices mean frozen progress—that is now being proven. Going to church is a good habit for the people at home; the boys in the trenches get close to God, restricted competition immediately | the same from } regulations in war- | SMASHINS THE JAPS can recall a victory that was as astoundingly one-sided as that scored by American bomb- | e1 and fighter planes over the Japanese flest fighting men, go down to watery graves, and American losses total only one bomber and three fighter planes! ae Had you put a dozen third-rate heavy weight palookas in the ring to sock away a Jack Dempsey when he was in his prime. i you puta dozen such gentry in the ring pen? Jack would have neither Jack’s ner Joe’s two arms and fis! could contend successfully against 24 arm der the sheer weight of numbers. We got a companion picture of that illustration at the beginning of the war when Japan overrun the East Indies, cap- tured Singapore, Hongkong, Manila and other places, and many of us were led to be- lieve that the Jap was at least a little super of ants attacking and eventually overcom their overwhelming numbers. But what has happened even when they outnumbered them iwo or three to one? Buna, Gona, Guadalcanal, Midway, the Marshall Islands, the Coral Sea, the sea off the Solomons, and now the Bismarck Sea, where a Jap armada was wiped out and we lost four planes! Despite those knockouts, there are still a good many Key Westers who believe that the Germans will cry out “Kamerad!” before the Japs yell out their equivalent of “Enough!” the opinion concerns the future, one man’s down first. They are outclassed, man for as a heavyweight pugilist outclasses a ban- tamweight, and it will not require many more victories, like that in Bismarck Sea, to bring the Japs down on their deceitful knees. It is poppycock to say they will fight to “the last man.” destruction of their cities is well under way, they will sue for peace even means unconditional surrender. new Roy Crummer Company, charges that Ed Ball, head of the Florida duPont enter- prises, is behind the delay in The Crummer Co., getting a license to do a bond business strong-willed men—Ball and Rey—has been historic.
