is no flaw in the political policy or economic practice of our na- tional life that steady and respon- sible intelligence cannot correct. America is not dying. The ranks of business men, industrialists, and flnancierS are not devoid of intelligence, competence, and so- cial sensitiveness. The political genius of the nation is neither bankrupt nor under monopoly. There is vast fund of leadership in the nation that suffers neither from the rigor mortis of reaction nor from the St. Vitus dance of ir- responsible utopianism It is for us, as a people, to find and follow that sort of leadership and to help it lift the standards around which the stable intelligence, ef- fective competence, and sound social sense of Americans who be- lieve in democracy and an intel ligently modernized economy of private enterprise can rally.
 We must divest ourselves of faith in magic as way out of the difficulties of our generation. The sooner we learn that there are no rabbits in the hat, that artificial devices are a delusion, and that the national future must be build ed on the normal enterprise of it's people the better for us and our children. We must see to it, as far as lies within our power, that neither private monopoly nor pub lie planning is permitted to ham, string the buoyant energies of our national enterprise. We must say for our generation that, come what may, we shall give the na- tional genius a chance to be its best self. If we do that maybe the magicians will be the only unem- ployed.
 Of one thing I think we can be sure-we shall never achieve a balanced economy through an unbalanced politics.

cant national life in the midst of a world influx.
 There are two conditioning fac- tors without which no system of national enterprise - whether fascism or communism or Free Enterprise can function effec- lively:
 First, the system must be truly believed in by the people.
 Second, the leaders of the sys- tenn must be inspired by the sense that, in doing their day to day work they are serving social as well as personal ends.
 Two Factors
 If we are to go on with free enterprise, we must provide these two conditioning factors. This puts obligations upon both economic and political leadership. The eco- homie leadership of the nation must see to it that this American system of free enterprise lives up to its name. Business men, indus trialists, and f1nanciers must see to it that the four disloyalties to free enterprise which I listed earlier are renounced as far as private enterprises have them selves been responsible for them. And then, when so much of the world is under the spell of the glamorous, if delusive, gospels of fascism and communism, it is inn portant that political leadership, once it has dealt decisively with the sins and sinners of ire center prise, shall so restate the case for free enterprise that a truly popu- lar passion for it's preservation shall be aroused and its leaders given a sense that, when they create great businesses and indus tries that employ vast armies of men and women and create the wealth upon which a progressively higher standard of living must depend, they are serving signifi- cant national ends.
 Basic Devotion
 There is a basic American de- votion to the principle of free enterprise, but that devotion can be permanently sustained only through an intelligently modern ized economy of free enterprise. By an intelligently modernized economy of free enterprise, I mean an economy functioning
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-23

through a workable economics of economics of scarcity we have plenty instead of the unavoidable been artif1cially creating, an econ- omy that will find its profits in producing for the millions, an economy that will stabilize its market by a progressively wider distribution of the annual nation al income, not by arbitrary politi- cal action, but through the poli- cies it itself adopts respecting wages, hours, prices and profits.
 The most crying need of the time is a reinterpretation of just what an economy of free enter prise means.
 It does not mean monopoly.
 It does not mean price-fxing.
 It does not mean SWeat-shopS.
 It does not mean crooked spec ulation.
 It does not mean keeping divi- dends up and wages down.
 It does not mean fewer goods at higher prices.
 It does not mean tariffs that rob the consumer to enrich the man. ufacturer.
 It does not mean long hours.
 It does not mean bad working conditions.
 It does not mean freedom from all social control.
 It does not mean freedom to in- dulge in practices which the com- mon judgment of the people in- diets as anti-Social.
 There is a growing articulate school of thought which insists that the America we have known the America of private enter prise and political liberty-is a dy- ing America. I ask you to take the easy assumption that this is a dying America with a large grain of salt.
 Own Judgment
 I give you my own judgment for what it may be worth. There

The annual meeting is not, as
many persons seem to believe, an
extraordinary one called for the
sole purpose to rule on whether
Japan, because of the present far
eastern situation, is a desirable site
for the next international athletic
carnival. The question was decided
in Japan's favor in 1886 at Berlin.
In fact, it might take a good
deal of maneuvering even to bring
the question up at Cairo. And ac-
cording to informants, it will be a
miracle if the question should be
put to a vote and Japan loses out.
Because of the trouble in the
far east, there has been a good deal
of talk about boycotts and trans
ferring the games to more peaceful
surroundings Finland repeatedly is
leading a skirmish to transfer the
games. Such a movement is under
