Progress, business, then had a chance to catch breath while new trouble was shaped up That was labelled the “breathing ai spell.” Now round two has started. Half aj i dozen proposals more dangerous and dic- | | tatorial than NRA are in the mill. But a worse side of the picture what could happen, and what some be- lieve is happening, to folks who dare to speak out against the trend in ton. The things that could happen clude: Prosecution of individuals for alleged income tax violations, so timed as to offset the effect of their criticisms; the distribu- tion of questionnaires, prying into hereto-! fore private affa the threat that those i who don’t keep quiet will not get govern-! ment contrac the intimation that cer- tain persons may not get loans from, the | goverrment, or if they already have them the threat that the loans will be called in- j stead of extended; the threat that those | who try to get back illegally-paid AAA processing taxes will be prosecuted for al- leged income tax law violations forgotten for many years. Some propose a law forbidding work for them. How about tatorial pressure against those what they think? Or has the who grand closed down?

How- ever, when a business activ- ity that is vital to the life of the nation, is of such a nature that it cannot be trusted to private opera- tion the govern- ment is justified H in taking it over. { Under this the- ory govern- ment has oper- ated the post office and the minting business from the beginning. The theory of socialism and com- | munism is radically different from that of our Constitution. Under so- cialistic and communistic philosophy, business is a proper function of gov- ernment. It is assumed that the own- ership and operation of business by | the government is in the interest of general welfare, and hence, it should be the policy of the government to take over business activities as rap- idly as possible. Now whoever sub- scribes to this theory is a socialist or communist, whatever he may call himself. Some of those who take up arms against Constitutional Americanism in defense of the socialist philosophy aré bold, courageous and frank in their contention, and wage their fight in the open. Hence, they command the respect of those who have no sort of sympathy with their purposes. Another group, however, adheres to this philosophy, but rejects the name for practical reasons. In this way it gets the support of ignorant pcople, incapable of interpreting objection- able principles when obscured by at- tractive names.

DYER Professor.of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University This second group of adherents to the socialist philosophy is also divided into two classes. The first class would retain the Constitution, but openly fight decisions of the Supreme Court hostile to the extension of socialistic philosophy. They seek means of pre- venting the Supreme Court from ap- tion to our industrial system. They make this fight not as socialists, but as exponents of “industrial democra- cy.” Industrial democracy. of course, is simply another name for the philos- ophy of socialism and communism. But the ignorant don’t know this. The second class make no technical fight against the Constitution and the Supreme Court. Their purpose is to hold on to the machinery of the tive by indirect methods. They de- clare their good faith and seek to obtain constitutional authority for an apparently legitimate purpose. With this as a smoke-screen they are able to engage in activities in accord with their real program which is at wide variance with their stated plans. There is nething new.in this method. It was used effectively by Jacob in robbing his brother, Esau, of his birthright. Jacob made no fight on the Constitution that protected the sanctity of Esau’s birthright. He adopted indirection to attain his ends and deceive Isaac, his father. The founders of our Constitution never anticipated a Jacobean Con- gress. They assumed that Congress- men, required to take a solemn oath of office to support the Constitution could find no pathway between the terms of the oath and solid good faith. Some of the acts of Congress strongly suggest that expediency is forcing some of our law makers into paths of indirection. However, we can as- sume that facts rather than declara- tions of pious purpose will determine the constitutionality of laws carried to the highest court for decision. The eyesight of the “nine old men” is bet- ter than that of Isaac. thor, care of this newspaper) coo 24 Toda ° 1860—Pony Express started— y In History ; maid of honor. -.|New York Ci Miss Carbonell!

On the spot in Montana where he surrendered to General Miles more than 50 ! years ago has been erected a monument to his memory, on which the following is in- cribed: “Chief Joseph was a military genius, courageous and humane. Presenting his rifle to General Miles, with right hand up- raised, he proclaimed: ‘From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more for- ever.’ He kept his word.” Although many would class Chief Jo-eph as a savage, he had a high sense of honor. His word, once given, was in- violable. It would be a wonderful thing for this old world if the so-called civilized nations which signed the Kellogg peace pact would, like him, keep their solemn word.
