That idea may gain in strength as the campaign warms up. Managed Economy Numerous cries for changes both the social and economic order are resounding through the country and many are. doubtless justified. Even the most case-hardened capi talists are changes are necessary—and this not surprising. since we live in world of change and progress is al- ways forward. Unquestionably some of the ideas which are being advocated now will|has be adopted, if not at once, then later. But the present struggle primarily one between the so-called capitalistic system and the urge toward an in-) direct communism by expecting gov- crnment to solve every problem. ‘These hopeful quests for an al seeing and all-powerful government are based, usually, upon the assump- tion that the government is all-pow- erful and all-wise. It is a false pre- mise, for everyone in America knows, if he stops to think, that he, as well as the rest of us, really constitute the government. _ The encouraging thing about the | serviee over the Canadian Rockies, on the question of reparations and in- admitting that some the day of managed economy; managed purchasing power; managed foreign trade; managed supply and demand? “It has now been almost 200 years since business men cried out to the government and guilds ‘Leave us alone.’ It was a tired business world that wanted to be released from trade regulations that had come down through the centuries, so the state stepped UTTAR =~ TaTTATTT AT Tepe — MET ; + out, and open self-regulating competition stepped in. Tals new industrial liberty was abused; modification took place—booms and panics alternated. So the business world comes to the year 1931, with a disposition to go farther in the direction of man- ‘aged economy than for two cen- turies. The policy of two steps forward and one step backward is now being challenged as a co- lossal and unnecessary waste. (BARBS oo Lupe Velez has just got her sec- ond sister into the movies.

(New York Times) Many who predicted for radio a bright future as an educational agent now are protesting that it is debased by advertisers. True, some fine pro- grams are broadcast. But large num- bers of people sympathize with Lee De. Forest when he exclaims: “Why should any one want to buy a radio or new tubes for an old set when nine-tenths of what one can hear is the continual drivel of second-rate jazz, sickening crooning by degener- ate sax players, interrupted by blat- ant sales talk, impudent commands’ to buy or try, actually imposed over @ background of what might -alone have been good music?” In an ar- ticle in .the November Harper's James Rorty predicts “The Impend- ing Radio War” between commercial to rout Mary, whe gold-digger. to contini ; not kgow.

By March 9, 1931, the number was reduced to:.49. As a generous gesture commercial broad- casters offer free time on their sta- tions to the cause of education. But during the most desirable evening, hours, from 6 to 11 p. m., the adver- tisers fill the air, so. that educators are invited to squeeze in their pro- grams “at hours which do not con- flict with the vested interests of tooth pastes and automobile tires” or with) the careers of “established radio per- sonalities.” Moreover, they would be Umited to programs which the com- mercial broadcasters considered “rea- sonably interesting” and which did not conflict with the interests of ad- vertisers. To struggle for a due share of the air, the National Committee on Edu- cation by Radio was created. It in- cludes representatives: of: nine out- standing educational associations. They have endorsed the Fess bill which specifies that not less than 15 per cent of the radio broadcasting facilities under the control of the federal radio commission shall be re- said reprovingly, “All that is past, Louise.

Burdett is Probably the most adventuresome or- chid hunter in the world, and has missed death by a hair's breath many times in search of rare blooms. He combed the Philippine Islands in search of prize orchids and some of the best ones he has found in tree tops, 250 feet above ground. In climbing these trees he has encoun- tered blood-sucking leeches, ants, wild bees and ferocious sand flies. Snakes in the jungles, not to mention wild animals, have made his trips exciting. is a is 18 A LOT OF PULL Montreal—The Canadian Pacific railway’s newest _ super-locomotive has lots of pull.
