CARL ACKERMAN, Dean, School of Journalism, Columbia University. Pradtically everybody in the United States, except John L.

When his critics pointed out that Eng. land too could build vast numbers of planes that would put her on a par with Germany, he replied that, granting that England had the planes, she would be unable to provide a sufficient number of airfields"to accommo- date them. Territorially, that country was | too small, according to Lindbergh, to have | a great air fleet within its confines. Where does England keep her thou- sands of planes?

Should endorse automatitafly, in fact, those who praise it doy really want freedom, except for small percentage of the community, the private capitalists. These men want freedom to make the largest profits possible, with little regard for social consequences. We had this kind of “free enter- prise” for hundreds of years, all over the world, until the very recent past. What it produced was a succession of wars and depressions. It never achieved prosperity for everybody and frequently, there was prosperity for nobody. As a result, all over the world, governments have been forced to step in and curb the excess of un- restricted greed for profits.
