NOT DESTROYED,
F|LENE ASSERTS
All America Seems to Be
Behind President, Says
Business Man

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. S.
Edward A. Filene, Chairman of
the Massachusetts, State Recovery
Board, and owner OF one of Bos-
toms largest department stores,
said in a speech before the Amer

cial Science, that if the profit sys-
tenn is destroyed, ''it viii be de-
stroyed by those very business men
who believe most profoundly in
the profit system and are shouting
the loudest about individual initia-
tive. At present, however, / see no
danger in this.
Practically all America seems to
be behind the President and his
great effort to discover the un-
derlying laws governing produc-
ton and distribution. thus to eff
feet orderly arrangement of pro-
cesses."
