PROFESSOR WESTER MANN'S
ADDRESS
"History does not n the end fall to
mete out Its punishment of. crime."
Professor Westennann emphasized in
his quiet, forceful way yesterday. Ger
many's treatment of Belgium he
prophesied as "a bitter memory In
the world for year to come."
The address yesterday morning by
one of Nebraska's own alumni was
one of the best of those that haTe been
giren here this year. Professor West
ennann simply stated facts and when
be characterized the methods of Ger
many as a "cynical realistic policy."
the audience knew clearly that it was
true because be had shown concretely
just why he made such a statement
Like Miss Fraxer's powerful talk
of a few months ago there was noth
ing bitter, nothing that would cause
nnreasoEing hatred in what Professor
Westennann said. When the speaker

WAR AND THE SMALL RETAIL
MERCHANT
After three year of war It has been
found by Americans In France that
mall retail merchants have probably
suffered more than any other class, ei
cept artists, whose pictures and statu
ary are not purchased in war times
Writing on this subjct In Erery
, Week. Capt. Michael White saya that
the artisan, agricultural, and profes
sional classes hare enjoyed Increased
wages and increases, due to the fact
that their services and product have
been in greater demand, with a re
duction in competition among them
selves brought by the thinning of
their ranks for the army.
It la hla belief that the small retail
merchant's difficulty should be under
stood in the United States as we make
our adjustments from peace to war.
Already we hare gone far enough
into war to reallie that the retail mer
chant nd particularly the food dis
tributor, face difficult problems. Thus
far our own merchants bare felt the
pinch chiefly in lessened consumer de
mand, dictated by economy, and the
decrease In volume of commodities
handled, due to scarcity of certain
staples. There is also the restriction
of profit margin on staple food neces
sities.
In countries with a longer war ex
perience the rettaller has been hurt
most by the disappearance of mer
chandise from the market. Not only
is food strictly rational, but furniture,
utensils. Jewelry, musical instruments.
luxury articles, and many things
counted necessities in normal times
are unobtainable. Old furniture in
England today is eagerly bought up
at prices exceeding what was paid for
it when new.
It is not probable that merchandise
will eTer become as scarce in this
country unless war continues for a
long period. But it may become
scarcer than most Americans now
realize.
The sharp tightening in food the
past year is an instance. It has

Marion Wyman told about the Camp
