In fact, there is ample reason to believe that those making the loudest cries are in the very small minority. General Robert E Wood of Chicago, one of the country’s best known business executives, in a recent speech before the At- lanta Chamber of Commerce took exception when he said, “T am cynical about the predictions of my fellow business men. It seems to me there is a lot of ‘wolt, wolf' among them.” Going into detail General Wood stated: Balancing the budget, for example, under the conditions that have prevailed in recent years could not be expected of government any it they will promptly | or irregularity | more than of private business, and our credit has not been impaired. The time will come when income must be made to equal outgo. But I expect a balanced budget in two years, and if we get it by then, business has nothing whatever to fear. There were dire predictions when social security legislation being passed. Cer- tainly it was not perfect, the President e plained that it was a beginning; but look at England, with a social security law that has been amended no less than 17 times Dollar devaluation brought the howls. The banker said it would destroy the bond market—but look at the bonds now. They are higher than they ever were before. Brokers declared that the new securities regulations would destroy their business. But I can’t see that any of them have suffered and new securities are being issued ev day. Manufacturers complained bitterly that the Wagner labor relations bill would result in a nation-wide series of crippling strikes. Yet we do business with 10,000 manufacturing firms and less than one per cent of them have been troubled with labor disturbances. This new legislation is here to stay. We must raise the standard of living. Our prob- lem has never been overproduction but under- consumption and it is up to our scientists, our industrialists and our business men, as well as our legislators, to solve it. The headlong radi- cals and the static conservatives are alike dangerous. The one would destroy everything; the other would create nothing. The only course for enlightened business men to adopt a liberal viewpoint. This confident and cheerful forecast of the state of the union, which bears a striking resemblance to what President Roosevelt himself has been con- sistently telling the people from the moment he felt that his efforts justified an optimistic expression, comes from no theorist or politician. Tt is the testi- mony of an eminent business executive whose achievs was same is ments prove his talents and whose responsibilities demand sound judgment. He not only finds the country moving forward under an administration that has devoted its earnest efforts to restoration of normal trade, but that it is definitely headed for a more secure economic and social order. While we can’t agree with Chief Hoffman that the dogs in Juneau are worse than the wolf packs in the Interior, we are inclined to see eye to eye with the Chief and city authorities that a drastic check in dog meandering is needed and a few more pooches kept at home or destroyed.
