VANDERLIP PROPOSES INTERNATIONAL BANK (By Associated Press) WARSAW, Oct. 26 Plans for the establishment of the "Bank of United States and Europe", which would have a capital of $1,000,000,000 were presented to President PilsudskI, former Minister Skirmunt and Minister ol Finance Michalskl by Frank A. Vanderlip, the New York financier, yesterday. Under Mr. Vanderlip'a plan subsidiary banks would be established and exchange of products between' nations would be on the dollar basis. "I am not offering a panacea," said Mr. Vanderlip last night, "but I am a doctor offering a prescription in aid

ui central Europe. I am not representing any group or government, nor am I pressing for a decision because the success of the undertaking would be possible only if several countries of their own initiative should Invite a group to organize such a bank. "The plan provides for capital stock amounting to $1,000,000,000 in gold, and the institution would be governed by nine trustees, five American and four European. Under this control the nations would establish banks to issue dollar notes, backed by a gold reserve, for trading purposes." Mr. Vanderlip left late last night for Berlin, where he will confer with officials of the German government and with banking interests. He 6aid he was pleased with the attitude taken by the Poles toward the idea, but added: "It cannot succeed unless the majority of the states of Europe join."

THE M. WERK COMPANY Established 1832 st. Bernard, O.

Mr. A. P. Johnson, Publisher of the News, Grand Rapids, Michigan, in his issue of Oct 13 prints the following : PRODUCTIVE ADVERTISING

There are three "Bewares" in the primer of every editor, reporter and aspiring newspaper worker. Where they came from we don't know and we know less of what they mean to convey. They are "Beware of religion- beware of saying anything good about big corporations: beware of mentioning advertisers except when they pay for it." Headers of this newspaper know where it stands Ou religion and corporations. We are for them whtn they do more good than harm. We oppose them when they oppose human progress and retard human happiness. This is about both a corporation and an advertiser a big advertiser, the Standard Oi 1 Company. A great change has come over the Standard Oil Company in recent years. It is no longer afraid of its own shadow. It is no longer afraid to tell who owns it, what its business methods are, what its products are and what it hopes to do. The story is being told in friendly and unfriendly papers without fear or favor, embarrassment or compunction in paid advertising space. Of course a newspaper would naturally agree to

this method of publicity. But we are not thinking of the dollars just now. We are thinking of how much further we would have progressed in the solution of many of our economic and industrial difficultiesifmore lighthad been thrown upon the inner workings of the offensives and defensives in such disputes as involve the public at large. The series of advertisements which have been and are being published by the Standard Oil Company have become economic arguments which carry a message. We are not so pleased with them but what we realize that they put the company's best foot forward. To what extent they have sold gasoline is a matter for their advertising department to decide, but it is certain that they have sold to the public a large measure of good will which the Standard Oil Company did not possess not so very long ago. Having committed this breach of saying something good about an advertiser, we will now shut our eyes and wait for the catastrophe that is bound to occur according to the law of primeval journalism.

THE above editorial is refreshing to those who are responsible for the policies of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). When in October, 1918, the present management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) took charge of the business, one of the first things it decided was that the public should be given intimate information regarding the Company and its affairs. Those responsible for the management knew that the policies that had animated this organization for many years were policies which benefitted stockholders, employes and the public, and that these policies could not but meet the approval of the people generally, for they were based on fair dealing, justice and equity. The result of this decision was the authorization of a widespread publicity campaign, which has been carried on for about three years, and the proof of its effectiveness is to be seen not only in the not infrequent mention being made by the newspapers of the country in editorials such as the one written by Mr. Johnson, quoted above, but in the better understanding on the part of the public of what the Company is trying to do. The basic principle upon which the business of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is built is to provide the individual, wherever he may live in the 11 states served by this Company, with such products of petroleum as he may need, and to get them to him when he wants them and at a price which is fair alike to the stockholders, the public and the competitor.
