of political revolution. but DR.. Stein
metz takes no stock in the idea.
81 fear no revolution in the United
States" he says, for there can be
no revolution where there is some
thing worth keeping, instead there
is only evolution. If we may go back
to Russia nee more we find there
was a revolution there, because there
was nothing worth keeping in the
old system. kerensky tried to evolve
something good from it but failed.
1t was necessary to tear it down and
start all over again. In our form of
government there is much worth
keeping and people are sensible
enough to see it. There will be no
revolution in this country, even the
old possibility of the clash between
capitalists and socialists is past. If
we have any trouble it will come
from misled labor leaders or selfish
politicians who call themselves radi-
Gals and form bloc for the obstruc-
ton of progress. These men, either
through their ignorance of economic
law or through their selfish egotism,
present the only source of danger in
Jul country today"
The President to Manage
Continuing his discussion of the
new organization of government, DIR.
Steinmetz outlines briefly several of
the features he expects to see adopt
ed in it. Congress-" he says. will
continue to evolve into a tribunal,
with prohibiting powers only. This
means that the administration will
be wholly in the hands of the presi-
dent and his ministers who will hold
positions for long period and will be
non-political in nature like a city
manager. Congress, acting as the
board of directors, will, however,
have the power to curb them when
it so desires W. as the board of
directors may not approve of all that
the president of the corporation pro-
poses, yet such a board does not
think of firing the president be-
cause he proposes one plan that they
do not like.
Certain questions of policy will
be referred to all the people to vote
upon as a referendum. A question
such as prohibition for instance,
enforcement is the problem for the
administration to handle, but it's de-
termination is a question for popular
vote. The majority of people are
capable of voting yes or mo- when
the question is honestly and plainly
asked, and that is the chief purpose
of ballots. All this voting for and
against men we know nothing about
Is little short of ridiculous. [ ur judi
ciary may be continued much in it's
present form Our courts need to be
reformed and vitalized. We must
always have a supreme court to in
terpret law and the present system
of appointing judges for life during
good behavior is a step in the right
direction and should be applied to
the executive and administrative
offices as well.
"We are a wonderful people and
have a wonderful country" conclud-
ed DIR. Steinmetz. mo other nation
in the world. for instance, would
have taken me ina cripple boy
and given me the chance that it has.
This statement made to Babson In
stitute is not made in the spirit of
criticism or complaint but is made
only because I want to see this coun-
try forever grow stronger and not be
wrecked by people who complain
and agitate without thinking the
matter through to its final solution"
