CANNON IS GIVEN TO

The Daily Times and we presume

ter:
San Francisco, May 25, 1919.
To the Editor:
Dear sir:—That the Vitcory Liberty
Loan met with the same gratifying
success as did the four preceding
loans was due in a great measure to
the loyal support of practically every
newspaper and magazine in the
United States.
We are indeed grateful to the pub
lishers and editors of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve district for their gen
erous contribution to the government
of space both in their news and ad
vertising columns during the several
Liberty loan drives and particularly
during the Victory loan campaign be
cause the sacrifices of peace times in
behalf of the national government in
dicate a higher type of patriotism
than is prompted by the hyst^ia of a
people at war.
“Now that the last popular loan has
been successfully floated we want you
to know that we fully appreciate the
great service you have rendered our
government. In our humble way we
thank you.
It is quite beyond our power to
compensate you for your efforts in be
half of war financing, but the enclosed
medal made from captured German
cannon may serve as a pleasant re
minder of our gratitude for your able
cooperation with us.
Very sincerely yours,
General Publicity Committee,”

JAP GOVERNMENT
DENIES IMPLICATION
IN MONGOLIAN AFFAIR
TOKIO, May 15 (Correspondence*of
the Associated Press).—The Japanese
government has issued a denial of re
ports that Japanese are implicated in
the Mongolian independence move
ment. The statement characterizes as
a “gross canard” the charge that Jap
anese military officers are taking con
joint action with Colonel Semenoff and
declares that from what Japanese mili
tary authorities have ascertained that
Colonel Semenoff, the Cossack leaders,
emphatically denied all connection
with the independence movement.
Two leaders of the Mongolian inde
penencc party arrived in Tokio in the
latter part of April to inaugurate a
movement for the political independ
ence of Mongolia and Manchuria and
to unite those two Chinese provinces
in one state.

Merchants by Advertising Can Help to !
Get Business Going Once More
Bj ROGER W. BABSON, Department ot Labor
Business is reviving after the war, but the process
is slow. Reasonable stimulation is highly desirable in
order that unemployment and business stagnation may
not threaten. There are opportunities in foreign trade
and in the rebuilding of Europe, to say nothing of the
restoration of our own stocks which were depleted by
the war. America is short of almost everything except
articles manufactured for war uses, but hesitation about
wages and prices is preventing action.
English economists agree with Prof. Irvins Fisher
ggag-w«w.p»p«f union of Yale and with the experts of the department of '
labor that there is no economic basis for the expectation of much lower
wages and prices. There will probably be reductions, but they may not
be large. The opinion of these economists is that we have reached a new
price level, just as we reached a new level when the aftermath of the Klon
dike rush brought a great mass of gold into this country.
If we have reached a new price level obviously little is to be gained by
delay, and a great deal may be lost. Furthermore, reductions in wages
cannot be seriously considered, particularly when prices are remaining
so high. Wages, according to department of labor figures, have not kept
pace- by any means with prices. Some wage earners received no increases
at all during the war, and the average was only 28 per cent. On the other
hand the average increase in commodities making up the family budget—
the cost of living—was 65 per cent. These figures speak for themselves,
and direct serious attention to the fact that wages in goods are real, while
wages in dollars are often deceptive.
To revive business there must be a market for goods. Business is a
matter of buying and selling. If people have no money they cannot buy;
if .wages are low purchasing power is diminished.
It will be no disadvantage to anyone if wages and prices stay about
where they are. To my mind the solution of the business problem now is
this: Let the public buy now the things it needs; there are plenty of them,
because during the war the government besought people not to buy and
to devote all their energies toward winning the war. Let the manufac
turers go ahead as rapidly as it is safe to do so with production. And
let every man who has anything to sell tell his neighbors about it by ,
judicious advertising.
Only by advertising can a demand be created and only through adver
tising are people enabled to buy wisely and well. Advertising is heavy,
but it can’t be too heavy so long as legitimate goods are advertised. In
the long run everything depends on the consumer. If the consumer cre
ates a demand business will go ahead. Merchants by advertising Can
help create the demand that will get business going once more.
