Few congressmen have been able in so to win the recognition of! their party lealers, and to be able to ren- | der <ignal service to their constituents, as has J. Mark Wilcox.

Placing our interests above his own, until he had assurance that the funds for the bridges, were ured, before he made a hurried | tour through his district, to render an ac count of his stewardship. He met the is- sue of the Townsend Plan with calm logi and, weighing his convictions against easily purebased popularity, told us that he} would rather meet defeat than to pur-| chase victory by endorsing a scheme that ! could only end in bitter disappointment for | a deluded people.

If the Florida Keys can an example by having a chain munity houses of refuge from torms, the credit will be his.

By WALTER E. SPAHR Chairman, Department of Economics, New York University it has been said several times by government spokesmen in defense of policies, which have been vigurously criticized by businessmen, that busi- ness leaders are showing bad faith. It is as- serted tha these business- men came to the Administration all in a tremble in 1933, and begged the gov- ernment to save them, that they could not save} themselves, and that now they have ungrate- fully turned upon the gov- ernment tnat has rescued them from destruction. That frequently repeated state- Let us assume that business leaders did turn to the government for heip and that the government did aid them in 1933. The question still re- mains as to whether business leaders] are not upon solid ground in chal- lenging policies and acts of the gov- ernment. | In 1933, the immediate problems} were to open the banks, to deal with the existing emergencies, and to re store confidence. Oncé those things were done, once the measures were passed which definitely contributed to. business recovery, it may be sup- posed that the nation could carry on The so-called government recov measures were instituted merel, recovery measures and were sup- posed to be of a temporary, not a per-} manent, nature. But the government! decided to convert these temporary measures into permanent plans de- signed radically to overhaul our eco- nomic system. it was at this time that | business leaders and many others protested. It was at this time that the question of bad faith arose. When one is ill and sends for a, physician, he expects the physician to retire from the case after he is on the road to recovery. One most certainly does not expect his physician to re- main as a permanent fixture in the affairs of the patient—as an un- wanted member of the household— piling up a tremendous bill for treat- ments that are not desired, are un- necessary, and are, in many instances, even deleterious. If a patient rebels under such conditions, it is hardly ap- propriate for the physician to call the patient ungrateful. It is not the pa- tient’s fault if the physician has such | an officious nature that he lofes his | sense of the fitness of things. it is just this that happened be- tween business and the government. Asked to do certain things, and prom- ising to do them, the government de- | cided to become a permanent boarder at the expense of business. It decided | to watch gver the daily and private activities of business, to follow it | about, to harrass it, to pry into its | affairs, to dig into its private tele- | grams, to reform it, to change it— government, in short, has become a thoroughly unwelcome guest. It has quartered itself upon business and is determined to make business pay for the questionable privilege of having its unwelcome. and disturbing guest y| upset normal routine and what would otherwise be a steady and natural | | recovery. The bad faith was shown by gov- ernment, not by business.
