feSSor Tugwell, who feels caIlec
upon to create a philosophy tx
fit the Rooseveltian method.
These words are Professor Tug.
Well'S.)
This way Of putting the mat
ter Is certainly enlightening.
Tugwell imagines himself In the
role Of Creator" Mr..
Roosevelt has certain political
methods. Tugwell undertakes
to "Create" the philosophy.
If this be true, then the
philosophy amounts to nothing
but . process Of ratiOnalizing
various political expendients.
As the ordinary man would
say, It 10 just an "alibi" for
what the politician does.
Professor Tugwell announces
that his Creation" has two es-
sential features. These are:
(1) 'The modernized d e m o .
cratic process"
ca '"The experimental ap
proach."
he does not refer to plain de1noc
racy, but always to what he CALI
''the democratic process" which i!
apparently something different
from what you and mean By
democracy. And he SttpulateS &
''modernized" proceSS-we dont
know what but one different from
that Of the fathers.
I think that what Is in the pro
fesSor'S mind is that plain "democ
racy'' is usually associated with in
dividual initiative. It refers to 9
system IN which people vote or
policies, and their Representatives
make the laws.
But what Tugwell means Is q
social democracy" which is the
democracy Of socialism. The "pro
cesSeS" Of such q democracy are
vastly different from ours. They
are processes Of government con
troll and regimentation.
He says that it is "ironic" thai
his democratic processes" In agri
culture are being called regimen
tation." But when he goes on anc
admits that quotas" are estab
Nshed at Washington. He States
that individual farmers are moi
able to take q sufficiently widl
view, and concludes that "only
nationwide action Is sufficient tx
make the necessary adjustments.
He does not refer to the Blue
Eagle and "codes."
NOW it is exactly these Washing
ton fixed quotas and this ma
tion-wide action" that we mean BY
regimentation. The professor il
either insincere or lacks expert
ence when he says he cannot un
derstand our fears.
Az to ''the experimental ap-
prOach, the trouble is that it de-
mics the validity Of principles
and the value Of experience. A
situation" arises. You think
you have to "dO something
quick" So without studying
principles or consulting expert.
ence, you do whatever comes
into your head at the moment.
You say, 'If that doesn't work.
PH try something else"
Professor Tugwell says that ma.
tional policies ought not to be
shaped with reference to any
dogma" (You see he so abhorl
laws, and principles, and rules oi
conduct based on experience, that
he calls them all "dogmas"D
But, he says, our experiments
work. "For the first time. con.
trols of sufficient timeliness anc
flexibility have been found to bt
really effective" Is that so;
What about crop control? What
about milk and the dairy indus
try? What about gold buying"i
The professor himself winds ur
by saying, I'VE shall end the yeal
with millions unemployed. An6
this In spite Of all our work and
ingenuity"
That is it-too much mere "in.
genuity" in the little red house
and too little regard for expert
ence and for principles.

MediatOrs Back Mill
Owners Interests

NEW YORK-That President
Roosevelt's textile Mediation Board
can serve perfectly as a strike
breaking apparatus in the interests
of the employers is definitely es-
tablished by the records Of the
three men who make up the board.
All of them represent big bust
ness and banking interests, as the
following thumb nail biographies
show:
Raymond V. IngersOll-Borough
President of Brooklyn, who backed
LaGuardia in last years elections
He did not raise his voice against
LaGuardias fascist plan to photo
graph and fingerprint trade union
leaders. AS a magistrate in 1901
he was responsible for sending
union workers to jail. He has been
an arbitrator in the cloak and suit
industry in New York since 1924.
Winthrop Aldrich, Of the Chase
National Bank, a Rockefeller insti-
tuition, with interests in the textile
industry, backed Ingersoll for Bor-
ough President during the Novem-
be. elections.
lLlricn SsYith.-The son for for
mer Senator Hope Smith. He is the
director of the Fulton National
Bank of Atlanta, Ca, which is
connected with the big mill owners.
He is also the director of the
Southern Grocery Stores, Inc, and
head of the Hotel Corporation of
Atlanta. He is a Democrat.
John G. Winant. - The Repub-
Iican Governor of New Hampshire,
has close connections with the mill
owners. He belongs to exclusive
clubs and meets the textile mani
facturers socially. He is called a
philanthropist and is very wealthy.

Latest reports from the field. said
German, showed Were getting I'D

German revealed that members
OF other international unions will
probably go out in support of the
teXtlle strike. He declared: "The
situation as it stands at this hour
IS that other international unions
may call their members out in
support of the textile strike. He de-
clared; THE situation as it stands
at this hour is that other inter-
