Mr. Hoffman, who, as a gov ernment expert, has investigat ed multiple-unit distribution thoroughly, found that the chains are in no sense a monop oly. To the contrary, he made this unusual point: "The near est thing to a retail monopoly we ever had in this country was the village grocery store—for the simple reason that the shop ping choices of its customers were limited by the cruising ra dius of a horse and buggy or bv PINEBLUFF i The annual meeting of the Pine. .... bluff Library Association was held To the 'lyman. the possibl -1 January 10. with the president, such a coalition of powers Charles Warner^ presiding, joining up to sack us ma.\ , interesting reports were given by remote, but na\ \ men are C several officers demonstrating the i vinced that we must P*"^P^^® °; value of the Library to the com- meet it. And all you need to 00 to get a realization of the dif-i ficulties of defending all our in-; terests, is to take a look at a Friday night at the lodge room, the Eastern Star held an initiation at which time Mrs. B.

In the average American community of the present, .small or large, chains and independ ents are operating side by side. Each tries to out-serve the oth er, each does everything possi ble to attract trade. There prob ably isn’t a business in exist ence where monopoly is so com John Fiddner returned home Sal. urday after spending the past week In Danbury, Conn., visiting his mo ther.

These books are loaned the the great Pearl Harbor Naval Base is believed adequate to hold off any invader from the East and, even if it were taken, the enemy fleet would be so a long fight. And defense pre cautions are now being taken in Alaska, including construction of air bases. But beyond the area bounded by the triangle lie trade routes and other is- plet^ly out of the question as | ja^d possessions. The Philip- in retailing, At the end of his talk, Mr. Hoffman said: “Large scale or ganization in marketing is as in herently a part of our modem economic system as mass pro duction in industry.” On top of that, maximum efficiency in the retail field is absolutely essen tial if the cost savings of mass production are to reach the cus tomer. It isn’t chance that we American.s get more and better goods for less money. The high standards of efficiency prevail ing in industry, farming and rfetailing are responsible for that. NAVY’S PREPAREDNESS It has become evident that the United States Navy’s tre mendous proposed expansion plan—as embodied in Represen tative Vinson’s bill for appro priating $1,300,000,000 for the floating branch of our fighting forces—is designed largely to meet problems that might arise pines, for instance, are some 5,000 miTes from Pearl Harbor, and theory has it that no fleet can be highly e,ffective if it must fight over 3,000 miles away from a major base of sup ply and maintenance. Guam is in a similar position, being only 1,500 miles from Japan. If we are to be able to real ly enforce the Monroe Doctrine, if and when it is violated by some alien power, the problem becomes more difficult still. A vast .southern fleet, able to con trol the waters of Latin Amer ica and northern South America would be required . This gives you an idea of the strong arguments the big navy !»dvocates can summon. On the other hand, the doubters have good arguments too. They say that there is little chance of dictatorship over-running Eu rope. And, they continue, evep if it does, the victorious totali tarian powers would be so ex hausted that decades would have to pass before they could if the totalitarian governments | hope to achieve any success in coAie out on top in Europe’s and j going to war against us—and Asia’s wars.
