(New York Herald Tribune.) Certainly if faith can be aroused by public words the American people should soon be “rarin’ to go.” To be sure, the President, after encouraging the conservatives for a few weeks, could not resist the temptation to make a bid to the radicals by his vague generalities about Government-owned power stations in every town and county. But the latest speech of his chief co-ordinator, Mr. Donald Rich- berg, is so full of sound sense and orthodox econ- omics that it might well have been written by a critic of the New Deal a year ago. It denies the existence of panaceas and patent medicines. It warns categorically against the dangers of infla- tion. It denounces those who contend that private initiative is so weakened that Government must assume the responsibility for revival. It recognizes the dangers that lie ahead in even the partial assumption by the Government of some of those responsibilities which rightly belong o pyivate initiative.
