Face to Face With Edward T. Meredith r < i - - President of the Advertising Clubs of the World (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) • Business organizations are blazing i the pathway for the adjustment of 1 international questions in Europe, which something that diplomats have failed to accomplish. The coming meeting of the Advertising Clubs of the World in London, an organiza tion originated in America, will be presided over by Edward T. Meredith, of lowa, former Secretary bf Agriculture in the Wilson administration. The program is concentrated on the purpose of friendly understanding and discussion of how to help each, other in an exchange of products as well as ideas. A "class A” business man, E.

"Ed" Meredith, as he is called by hi* friends, looks at a quest- 1 tion from all sides: < "This country was founded by far 1 mens, and if the fanners fail, every-j I thing fails. The drift from the farms 1 to the cities is largely due to the fact 1 that fanning is not as profitable to- 1 day as other vocations. The farmer I sells in the lowest market and buys 1 in the highest. He takes his chance on wind and weather and continues ' to sow. whether he reaps or not. Sue- i cessful farmers mean more to the ■ country than prosperity in any other I kind of business." < As executive and Jn < the affairs of the Advertising Clubs < of the World.

The facts, J figures and ideas to be garnered at she gathering in London, it is felt, will result in a harvest of good will and understanding between the farm ers of the world and the gigantic industrial interests in all lands. Adjusting conditions so that the benefi s of the dirt farmer will be somewhat commensurate with that of the teller in the industries is one of the problems in every country in the world 1 "International trade and the pro- ' dtictlve power of the world depends, i in the final analysis, upon the farmer. ] The genius of the age is business, and the genius of business is exploitation, if the products of the farmer are pro- • perly marketed and exploited and he receives what he earns. It will do much toward the general adjustment ( rtf economic conditions all over the world.” When Edwaru Meredith .nd the group of men in the Advertising Clubs [ of America suggested that it should 1 become a world organization, Img before the World War. they had vision.
