their own chains"
Speaking before the American
Bankers Association convention,
Thorpe warned:
Liberty. freedom of action,
are being whitfield away by
subtle and seductive promises Of
benefits to come. Such liberties,
we know from history, can only
be regained by long and arduOuS
effort, by sacrifice, often Of
blood, and we know that many
times, once lost, they have never
been regained."
Thorpe said that when hard
times come one solution always
appears:

platform Of Communism. The
first was:
Decentralization Of credit
In the hands of the State by
means Of = national bank with

It Is all a part Of a larger
policy" which prof. Tugwell de-

He added that Prof. Tugwell

Last Tuesday the father went
to the hospital to tell his wife
Eva, he had decided to permit the
operation, only to find that she
had weakened in her determina-

Horror at the thought Of a life
of helpless invalidism for her son
had overcome mother love, and
she had decided to let her baby
die.
But when a healthy, normal
child who had survived a similar
operation for correction Of an
identical malformation visited her
hospital room, she agreed to the
operation.
