THE TONE OF INDUSTRIAL NEWS

1t may be that the country is going to the bow
under Roosevelt some of friends would
have us believe But if So are moving along at
a merry clip and if the following Associated Press re-
ports of industrial news for the last week be ruin
then wen have TO make the best of it:
July l3-"Signs of continued industrial progress
helped to lift selectve equities from fractions
than three points"
July l5-"Several new fve-year tops recorded "
July 10 Business and industrial continued
favorable"
July 17-"Decidedly pleasing business ana indus
trial news generally spurred buying"
July 18-"Favorabe industrial helped keep
the stock market fairly keel at the short
session Specialties and number of issues at
the best and number highs for The past
five years"
1t is evident that it viii take more than cam
pagn year and the ambitions of the minority party
to stem the tide of general business prosperity which
has been gradually rising the last three years and
now has the nation back keel.

THE POPULAR CCC CAMPS

Few actions OF the Roosevelt administration has
general approval than the Civilian Con-
servaton Corps commonly referred TO as the Gee
camps, The American Institute of Public Opinion
Gently made nationwide poll the question Are
you in favor Of continuing the CCC camps?' Replies
received from all sections of the country revealed 80
per cent in favor Of continuing the movement while
but 10 per cent against it,
DR. George Gallup Director of the Institute
commenting the result said:
Many New Deal measures have been
launched since the Civilian Conservation
Corps and many of them have been mod
fled by the administration in the face of
barrages from the opposition. Several major
agencies like the MIRA and Agricultural Adj
justment Administration have been swept
away by decisions OF the Supreme Court. But
the Civilian Conservation Corps has met with
comparatively little criticism. The WORK of
the generally has been regarded valu-
able and President Roosevelt frequently has
mentioned his desire to the camps made
permanent.
The vote in today's poll indicates that the
Civilian Conservation Corps is not partisan
issue at all any more. It is good example OF
New Deal measure that Republicans
approve
Among those who indicate they will vote
for Roosevelt the applause for the Civilian
Conservation Corps is almost unanimous, 90
per cent to per cent.
AS DR.. Gallup points out in article in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, there was not always SO much
enthusiasm for the civilian forest army. When the
CCC was first proposed Republican leaders spoke Of
political pums, and European observers pretended
to see in the new camps merely Yarndee method of
increasing the armed forces by 100000. Most severe
criticism came from the labor unions which in
the dollar-a-day wages OF the CCC youths lever

for driving down wage standards for skilled and
skilled labor Peace organizations objected to the
military aspects" of the original bill establishing
the CCC.
Virtually all these objections have been with
drawn, and, DR.. Gallup expresses it, there is a
good chance the camps will be continued, matter
who wins the election. Republicans like the Demo-
Gratis are on the whole in favor of it."

Americans may be suspicious of
commissions-but what else is there
to administer such far-reaching pro-
jects? And some commissions have
done excellent jobs-such as the in
terstate commerce commission and
the IVA. Besides, how else shall we
have the necessary fact-finding upon
which to base policy?
1t is certain that a president or a
