W1ASHINGTON.-By this time it

WAsHINGToN.-By this time it
should be clear that the queS-
ton of Should the government 60
into business" is a purely theoret-
ical one. The government is ain
business" in many fields, and
every tendency of the times is
driving it farther in every year. 1t
is a fact, not theory.
The cases discussed here, you
will note, are not those of the
many agencies concerned with
regulating and controlling bust
ness, but only those in which the
government is performing a civil
function of producing goods or
services which are ordinarily pro-
duced by private firms or indi-
vidualS.
Banking is one Of the fields or
dinarily occupied by private en-
terprise. But who is the biggest
banker in the country today?
Why, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. \
/. Since Hoover started that feder-
al super-bank, back in 1892, it has
J. allocated die stupendous sum of
$ll.sI3,s7s.92e, banking opera
don not only far beyond the reach
! OF any private bank, but the big
geSt banking job in the history of
the world.
The RFC itself owns stock of
the Import-Export Bank, the
Commodity Credit Corporation,
and many other government-in-
corporated agencies.
This growing form of incor-
poration for publis business has
also made the Treasury itself q
sort Of holding company or in
vestment trust. 1t owns, among
billions of dollars worth of secure
ties, the stock Of the Federal De-
post Insurance Corp, the Inland
: waterways Corp. and dozeps of
others.

NATION HOLDS REMEDY FOR ITS
OWN AILMENTS
(By BRUCE CATION

The vacation touring season is about over
now, and some 40,000,000 Americans are
back home again after having had a more
or less extended look at their country.
If they used their eyes and their brains
while touring they ought to be in shape to
think intelligently about some of the prob
lens the country faces. '."'
If there is one thing that impresses itself
on thoughtful tourist in this country, it is
that the United States is an everlastingly
big and an unimaginably rich country.
That impression doesn't hit you at first.
It grows, little by little, as you go on trav-
cling.
You ride through the farm bethany one
of the numerous farm belts-and you see
vista after vista of fat green farm lands,
with bumper crops growing out of rich soil,
with well-kept farm houses and big barns,
with pleasant villages and neat, up-to-date
cities. .... "' ,-
The people you meet are intelligent,
friendly, Woodworking, decent-the kind
we used to call the salt of the earth. And
you casually sum up your impression by
remarking, Mice country and nice people
around here" .'.. .
And then, if you stop to think about it,
you suddenly realize that it's all like that
mile upon mile of it, from the Berkshires
to the Cascades and beyond, from the Min
nesota lakes to the Gulf of Mexico; an end
less series of fair horizons, rich farm land
interspersed with tremendously busy in
dustrial regions, the whole of it peopled
by some of the finest folk who ever drew
the breath of life. TO- ..
Oh, there are bare spots, of course. We
have our share of deserts where nothing
will grow; of blighted cut-oyer areas that
ought to be growing trees, of agricultural
country that isn't quite fertile enough to
give its people decent living, of towns
whose industries have gone to pot. But in
the main, the picture shows a country that
stood right at the head of the line when
the good things were being passed out.
a. This picture is worth looking at. For If
the human race ever got itself into a spot
where the continued well-being of all the
people ought to be assured, the United
States of America is that spot. It's soil will
grow enough food to feed half the world.
Its mines viii provide an infnity of raw
matesials, it has abundant factories to han
die them, and it is peopled by smart, &C
tive and kindly race. ''' =
What can not go wreng-permanently
wrong--in setup like that? If we exer-
else only little intelligence and ordinary
horse sense We ought to be able to keep
this country of ours smiling and happy
right up to the day of judgment. What.
ever may be wrong with things today, il
certainly is nothing that can't be cured if
we are willing to think things out and use
fair amount of forethought.

Of politics.
About the only time most Of
US Americans indulge in patriotic
expression is when we sing
America" and THE Star-Span-
gled Banner" And most of US do
not know the words Of either and
cannot negotiate the tune Of the
latter. ..

APPLE BASKET DEMAND

APPLE BASKET DEMAND
"We've put out about half a car

G. d. Moseley concerning apple
basket sales by the Farmers Fed

closely packed empty baskets to

for apples is light, or at least the
price is low. The majority of tie
growers do not have adequate

than storing their big crop, which
is understood to be selling. tree

WASHINGTON, June 4. W,P) -

thing to do for the thousands upon
thousands of gentlemen whose
names are engraved upon fancy let

Hereafter, according to a formal
ruling from tax headquarters, they
must stand up at regular intervals
and have their noses counted. That
isn't much, but it's something, and
the honorary presidents are ap-
preciative.
The problem came up in course
