"but on the fulfilling of the people's wants.” Meeks, director of the llHnota retail association, spoke at the afternoon suasion of the annual Chamber of Commerce meeting, held at the American Legion home. Meeks said that this fulfillment was basically the rise of competition and the Increase of employment in this country — because people "Wsnted things." But his speech wont deeper than that. He stressed that the defects of government, "and they are Mt the greatest worry tn the world,” can oaly be corrected at the local level, that communities must push aside potty jealousies that “grow into bate.” "We've shrugged off responsibility at the local level," he said, "and told the federal government to do things for m." For all government concentration of . command, there is shirking on the part of the community, or etoe the community must condone the great power given the federal government .He.,lftl<k.Uie tnarrhetus pceaoot, though he did not single them oat. that the war Is over, but to* realize It The customers kMW It he said, but the merchants tn the' country are slow to achieve that realization.

And to win the peace it will! take big men. and not little men j - men with the "positive action of I a thermostat, and not the negative action of a thermometer." Meeks, long associated with Commerce work, deet-ribed him self as a lobbyist. He didn't ex- t plain whether that was good or I bad. but did describe his work Contacting legislatures slid con-! cress his organisation, the Illinoisi federation of retail associations.' represents some 200 local retail organizations in Illinois and 20 trade groups, an aggregate of approximately 40,000 merchants.
