DATERNALISH HELD i BUSINESS' MENACE Thorpe Warns N. U. Grad- | uates of Growing Danger to U. S. Progress. Citing s national prosperity unique in the world as the result of personal endeavors and sacrifices by American men and women, Merle Thorpe, editor ©f Nation's Business, publication of the United States Chamber of Commerce, warned National University's 300 grad- uates last night of the growing danger to continued progress in the increasing | threats against individualism in business In the United States today. In the same address to the graduates at National’s sixtieth annual commence- | ment_in Memorial Continental Hall. | Mr. Thorpe attacked the fears which | young men and women at the start of bustness or professional life may have of the brilliant array of scientific and industrial advances, when he declared that change provides opportunities to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Comments on U. 8. Progress. OCommenting at length upon American progress, Mr. Thorpe sald the only cloud upon the horizon in predicting & PomUACoR prasent. thicks against in- is presen at against in- dividualism. Political leaders, he sald, are telling industry that “we have been on the wrong road these 140 years. De- tour is the word today; business must turn down a side street; politics can do 8 better job for the people in operating business than you have been abié to do.” “It is high time we fixed in our minds the metes and bounds of Government,” Mr. Thorpe declared. “What is the true province of government? “We now stand at the crossroads. There is & dangerous tendency of ac- cepting the ‘Santa Claus’ aid of Gov- ernment. If the price of corn is thought to be too low, we expect the Govern- ment to raise the Enu. If the cost of sugar is too high, the Government should lower the cost. Politics can oE- erate o merchant marine, run a rail- way or & barge line; politics can market the farmer's grain, insure his crops as to price, operate cement and water- power plants. “Foe of Democratic Institutions.” “The menace to a still more glorious future is this growing tendency of the American people to substitute paternal- ism for that individualism which has ‘We are to ask Government sions to do the job which industries and communities could much better do for themselves. The American brand of socialism is paternalism, and it is the tic institutions.” Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis- ;.55, m-the AV.ENUE ot NINTHS ity est average in the gradi ), Y. J.
