Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless——there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and the two great wire services.No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so, as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge.There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for no one can any longer direct the great strike for America’s power; the polls(选票) have closed.Good or bad, whatever the decision.America will accept the decision——and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes.The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood.Its decision is to be defended as one defends civilization itself.
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia or China.Only one other major nation in modern history has ever tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote.This was the Weimar Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice.Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler.Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson and two Roosevelts.Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning.But for these hours history stops.

73.__________
Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade.When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale.
74.__________
The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes.Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.
