THE CAPITALISTS

Henry Ford and the Morgans and the Wander
bits and the Chryslers and the Melons and the
Rockefellers are capitalists.
They fall quickly within the accepted definition.
But these, nor their class, represent all of the
capitalists of America
The farmer who has invested dollar in plow
with which to till his soil, the bootblack who has
spent so cents for his crude equipment the doctor
who has invested in an X-ray and other scientific
instruments the school teacher who has put little
of her scant income into an automobile with which
to travel to and from her duties, the clerk in the
store who has small savings account, the mechanic
who has modest life insurance policy-ah! there
are mutitudes of capitalists who fail to fall cas-
lily within the definition SD. e.. ~. O.. ..
But they are capitalists, nevertheless!
Every man or woman who owns share of stock
or life insurance policy or building and loan
shares OF an account at the bank home or a
farm or corner grocery peanut stand or an
automobile-every one of these is capitalist.
1t is estimated that there are between ten and
twelve million different stockholders in the country
and between five and ten million owners of corpo-
rate bonds There are ten million building and loan
memberships, forty-four million savings accounts,
and one hundred and twenty-one million life insur-
ance policies in the United States 1t takes the
combined savings of millions of men and women to
sustain business, to create enterprises and
make new jobs. r.A.-. r.s,- .r ,a ,.'.. -.
When you eastgate the capitalists therefore,
you are castigatng every citizen of this country,
man, woman or child, who owns ANYTHING Pep e..
And when you vehemently talk about going af-
ter the capitalstclass and destroying the business
their wealth has created both their big wealth and
their little wealth all thrown together-you are
talking about destroying the foundation upon which
the economic wellbeing of the whole citizenship
reststhat- of the poorest and that of the richest

since hatred of Roosevelt ruined
thinking processes.
The manufacturers issued to
he American people a document
noted for IFS calm, sane, informed
proposals for business. You do
not have to agree with this docu-
nept, but you do have to respect
it. It will do more for business
than all the furious denunciation
of the last four years.f
One of the strangest episodes in
public relations and business
craftsmanship in the last half
century has been the attitude of
business toward the Roosevelt ad-
ministration.
When the President CAME intd
power business was fiat on its
back and business men-bankers
utility executives, investment
bankers, promoters-were in a
state Of disgrace. The public nat
urally supposed that Roosevelt
would turn upon them with un-
exampled 'vigor and enTnity.
The President, of course IN
speeches and addresses did at
tack business abuses. Who would
not have done so9
But the moment he was inaug-
urated he invited the business

The secretary of commerce,
with presidential approval, in
vited about 20 of the biggest bust
ness men to Washington as the ad-
ministration's Industrial Advisory
Council ito chart the future
course of American economic
life" The council included the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, chairman Of the board of
U. S. Steel, and so on.
In those days men like Donald
Richberg were looked upon as the
left wing OF the reformers. The
Brain Trusters were Raymond
Moley, General Johnson, George
Peek, Adolph Berle (later a gov
ernor of the New York Stock Ex-
change).
p. The only dangerous group was
the group investigating Wall
Street. but that had been organ
lied before Roosevelt was elected.
And when the S. E. c. was formed,
the President put a well-known
conservative Wall Street figure,
right out of a brokerage office, in
as chairman and a Wall Street
broker as assistant to the chair
man.
There was plenty more of this.
Is it not strange that with all this
powerful inside grip on the ma
chinery Of the First New Deal
business let the President slip out
OF their hands? Why? Because
they permitted the hatreds and
fury of a few men wfo had a
quarrel with the President to poi
son their whole relationship with
him. He was theirs. He was in
their hands. And they threw him
away.
Since then they have done more
by their attacks to build him into
great popular figure than all the
propaganda of the so-called New
Deal publicity agents put together.
AT last they seem to have recov.
cred their reason.

NUMBERING OUR
LANGUAGE

"Let you and / go somewhere
to dinner" said prominent
screen and radio actor in skit
during a recent nationwide
broadcast. The actor would not
have let himself be caught saying
"Let l got to dinner somewhere"
Whether to say "you and |" or
"you and me" is sometimes puz-
zling. The test is to leave out the
reference to the other person.
"Best regards from my wife and
I" is the way a college man closed
a letter to me. Should he strike
out the words "my wife and"
the error would jump at him.
Everyone is enjoying himself
and happy to have their Thanks
giving dinner with the president, ,"
said a radio announcer speaking
from Warm Springs, Georgia,
Thanksgiving eve. The trouble
with that sentence is that "every-
one" is singular, while "their,"
which refers to it, is plural. "His"
should have been used rather than
"their."

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THELEssER-oF TWo-EVILs

The nsides to ali of this question about crop
control reduce simply to this: yp.- g
Which can make the lesser mess of governing
the supply by the demand the Federal authorities,
or the individual farmers, left alone to loose
and produce as much as they arbitrarily please
Manifestly, therefore, it is matter of the lesser
of two evils.
Il must be generally agreed that it would be I'M
wise for the cotton farmers, for instance, in the
light of the clear facts of the world case to pro-
duee as much of the staple they may individually
elect. sF L H-1 =
Government control was designed to prevent just
that" "'
And so far as the design is concerned, the policy
is praiseworthy, whether executed by the govern
ent or by the free farmers in the exercise of their
individual liberties.
Rpt the choice has nothing to do with the ulti-
mate solution of the problem of over production in
Federal farm control DOES NOT SOLVE 1T.
At least, it hasn't solved it yet, and there is no
reason to anticipate that a continuation of the
same policy will ever solve it =. al r q
We believe this to be an absolutely fair and i'm
partial statement of fact. ''' '" e "'-
Be reminded that the objective of the cotton con-
troll plan by the Federal government was, and still
is, three-fold: '.' -
First, by limiting the amount of cotton that was
to be produced any given season, this plan was to
restore the incomes of the cotton farmers:
Second, it was to maintain prices at so-called
profitable level for the producers:
Third, it was to reduce the world supply, or sur
plus, and thus enliven the demand, which, in turn,
would eniiven the markets and bring about higher
prices for less available supply.
We make bold to assert that in none of these
three particulars has the plan of Federal control
ayailed. cgg..ca
1t has accomplished NONE of these objectives.
Granted that it may have come nearer accom-
plshing them than would have been the case if
control had not been exercised, the fact remains
that so far as these three definite objectives are
concerned, the scheme has fallen to pieces-Char-
otte, Observer.

GO EASY ON INDIcTING NATION
AS A WHOLE "Ai,-'H
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Edmund Burke remarked long time
ago that you can't indict whole nation.
His remark is worth keeping in mind to-
day, when the temptation to do exactly
that is sometimes almost irresistible. N"-.. 3,
1t is hard enough to sum up the eharac-
ter of one man, if for no other reason than
that most of us are a mixture of two or
three or more distinct personalities. AT
times we are swell folks, and at times we
are pretty much akin to the people whom
society has to put behind bars. And if in
dividuals can present contradictory traits,
how much more is that true of whole ma
tionS? 1' @a
Here is an interesting illustration, taken
from story recently distributed by Sci
ehce Service. So
Science Service points out that if large
numbers of refugee Jews from Germany
are to be settled in Tanganyika Territory
where plenty of fertile land is avail
able-the menace of the tsetse fly, carrier
of sleeping sickness, will have to be met.
1t can be met in various ways. Proper
clearing of the land will help to keep the
insects under control. Care in choosing
homesites will also be help. Most impor-
tant of all, is the fact that specific drug
for the cure of African sleeping sickness
exists.
And here is the interesting part This
drug IS q pre- war German invention.
known as Bayer 205, it was developed by
German chemists on the basis of researches
made by Germany's famous medical scient-
ist. DR.. Paul Ehrlich-a Jew.
1t would be highly ironic, of course, if
Jews driven from Germany were to be set
tied in former German colony and pro-
tected against disease by German drug
Which owes its existence to the genius of a
German Jew. But that isn't the point Just
nOw.-.The point is that if you try to define
the real" Germany, you have to take
etery step of that complicated equation
into account |
Blographers have spent a good deal of
time trying to get at the real essence of
great men-trying, for instance, to define
the "real Lincoln" And they always wind
up by finding mixture The real Lin
coin" for example, was both the Lincoln
who wrote the Gettysburg Address and the
small-town lawyer who liked to tell some
what off-color stories, the crafty prairie
politician and the statesman of the second
inaugural. Good and bad, shoddy and
sterling, were inextricably mixed in him as
in all other men. T..
And the same is true of nations. The
real Germany" is the Germany that per-
secutes Jews-and the Germany that pro-
Vided the world with great weapon
against death. 1t is Ehrlich as we'll as Hit
Ter, the victims as we'll as the oppressors
the giyers of gifts to mankind as we'll as
the tyrants. gra
Which is something very much worth re-
membering in these trying days. We mus
hate wrong - but not the nations from
which wrong comes, for much good also
comes from them. .--........., ..
