The great issues of the fu- ture—greater in significance than | the wars of nations—will be fought out between the forces of govern- | ment and the forces of private in- | dustry. | No blood is likely to be spm,: however. For the further away | from poverty we get the less is the danger of revolution, bloody or | otherwise. The weapons will be | of the type of the ballot box, and printed page, television and talk- | ing books. The methods those | of the advertiser and the lcbby-‘ ist, The probability is that many of the struggles will be very bitter. Our lesson from the past points this way. New Issues Complex Not all bf the issues will be llkC' those of Muscle Shoals or the reg-| ulation of the railroads. The is- sues will not be so simple as a line between public and private interests, Public interest terest are often the same the government's relation to cur- reney. . A-regulated flow of credit is to the interest of both. Govern-| ment can help in the eradication of depressions. The setting which Karl Marx or our own progressives gave to these | issues is changing. This par- ticularly true of the idea of prop- | erty. In agricultural times property meant ownership of a farm, daily ménagement of it, and the enjoy- ment of its fruits amid the senti- ment of home life. Property today means shares of stock and divi- dends but not management. Technology Holds Hope Bo also, today, appropriation of somebody else's wealth or govern- mental ownership are not the on- 1y ways of raising the standard of liviig. ‘Technology and manage- ment hold out new hopes. A high standard of living in the future would change the picture. The relationships of government and business are more complex now. The problem is one of con- tinuous series of adjustments. Communism and fascism are not the only alternatives. Some of the factors involved are the public utility idea, regulation, co<operation, elimination of prof- its, price fixing, dictatorship, bal- ange of powers, social services, tax- ation, grants in aid, etec. These can obviously be combined in var- fous ways in different fields at cifferent times. Old Institutions Wane That this is the arena for the greatest. issues before our nation can be said with assurance. In catlier times the two great in- ititutions, * the family and the chiirch, . dominated the activities of mankind.

The church was a pary of the state, dominated international rela- were tions, fostered education, sponsored | arl, and often practiced healing. But as these two institutions de- clined in influence, two others— the government and indusiry— grew in power, and controlled more and more of man’s behavior. Before the World War the ques- tion was “can government and in- dustry each go its own way alone?” | That questions has been aban- cdoned. The question of the future is, what will the relationship be? TOMORROW: “Good Gov- ernment—How to Get It?” The role of government, whether we like it or not, has been growing through hard times and good. Its cervices for the citizcns of cur democracy are many and varied. It not only protects us with armies and police, but it gives us educa- tion, recreation and at times houces and feeds us. How' ef- ficiently the gevernment runs its business is of immense im- portance not cnly to the tax- payer, but tc -everyone, and Prof. Ogburn discusses this problem in his next article.

On the following day at Wash- ington, the Democratic leader of the House, Representative Rainey, predicted there would be “no re- duction” of the debts and that the conference “won't amount to any- thing.” Chamberlain is a membor of a government of none too secure ten- ure, although it commands a sirong majority in the House of Commons. Rainey is a candidate for Speaker of the House. How- ever much you discount their re- marks, though, on Tieé -score that they were for “home consumption,” they still sound an ominous note, They' do not indicate a narrowing of the gap. POPULAR SENTIMENT FEARED Not one, but several, of Presi- dent Hoover's cabinet officers have Lbeen saying privately for a long time that radical adjustments would be advisable, So have many members of Congress, although they voted 'otherwise.
