The frontier had moved after the Civil War but the procedure And the of the last World War the same offer was made but was not taken up because the makeup of the nation had changed from rural to urban with approximately 75 percent of the people making their living in cities. the idea of for returning being promoted, and today the only frontier left to the United States the Territory f Alaska.

Control for Control's Sake (New York Times) of the totalitarian state is the complete control it attempts to exercise over all the activities of the individual. Yet, curiously, as a result of the war,} many sincere people who constantly pay lip service to ‘democracy” ‘and “freedom” seem afraid of the effects and freedom and the exel e of f individuals after the war. The prospect that men and women after the war will once more go into the lines that promise them the biggest profits or the highest wages, and provide the goods and services for which there is the greatest public demand and at the prices that supply and demand dictate, fills these peoplé with alarm. This exercise of free choice by consumers and producers they call} “chaos.” | The n What they wish instead is continued “plan- | by which they mean Government planning, and | Only so, they | an we save ourselves from the “chaos” of free | ning think, choice. Now it is of course true that we can return to a| free economy in an orderly way only by well-conceived The reason for this is obvious. Through war production our economy has become dependent as never before upon war orders. The Government is today not only the greatest single customer of business, but in many lines it is today the sole customer.

Well-thought- out positive policies are required on the part of | Government to bridge this transition period. But this does not nece: y mean a stubborn continuance of the controls that are now in existence after the need for those controls has passed. On the contrary, the sudden termination of hostilities may require in certain cases the quickest possible abandon- ment of controls. All responsible quarters are now agreed that when the war ends, it would be fusion of thought that would lead to criminal waste | for the Government to go on ordering the production of planes and tanks and shells in undiminished amount just to continue to “give employment.” In| the same it would only retard conversion and prolong disorganization to keep many of the existing wage and price controls after they had outlived their | usefulness. Just as the vested interests of peacetime in some prevented our conversion to war basis as soon as we might otherwise have made’the con- version, so the vested interests of wartime may prevent our conversion to peace with the promptness that will be necessary. We may expect to find the publicity men and many of the officials of the wartime agencies arguing that their agency is even more needed in peacetime, and providing a series of specious argu- ments to prove it. Now and during the unavoidable transition period it will clarify public thought if one guiding rule is followed. This is that the burden of proof for the retention of each wartime control should be placed, after war ceases, not on those who believe that the control should be dropped but on those who insist on retaining it. We do not want any postwar controls merely for control’s sake. cases a the West had breed able to withstand mountain country of Vice President Wallace Stevenson seriously when talked to him about this in But he didn't know the Governor.
