Translated into plain journal
csc, this seems to say one can
not help the poor enemy by
running the rich. And it seems
to be plain Mr.. Morgan was not
referring to Shirley Temple or
Babe Ruth.
IN CASE the point is not suf-
Il ficiently clear, Morgans arti-
\ Gle Of March is handles some
other significant points like this:
General abundance will not
soon be realized in America.
Some necessary elements are
present, including vast resources
and great capacity for economic
production. The missing ele-
ments, however, cannot be
quickly achieved through legis-
lative programs or new forms Of
economic organization. -.
They are simple-minded peo-
pie who think that because there
are present in our society most
Of the raw materials for unlim-
tied plenty and for q good social
order, we need nothing more
than laws or revolutions. {.
The miracle makers may build
up the hopes Of the multitude,
. put the miracles will continue to
Alack enduring substance. Z.
J Those leaders who develop in a
people the craving for social and
economic miracles do a great
disService. They infect society
with a disease which is very diff
3icult to cure. -.
Commitment to a Utopian
program may even become so
great that those in control may
be willing to sacrifice to it the
fundamentals Of decent gov
eminent and society. Then we
may have democracy displaced
by varying degrees of despotism,
merit displaced by patronage,
and STRAIGHTFORWARD dealing dis
placed by intrigue. :"

THESE Antioch notes may cut
i two ways. While they seem
to dig the New Deal at its deep
est roots, the Morgan adverse
ries in Congress may try to use
them to indicate his lack Of
sympathy for iva and thus
justify mis- dismissal.
Further evidences are develop
ing that the coming investiga-
ton will be turned into a politi.
cal free-for-all. The strategy Of
the anti-Morganites is to turn
it into another investigation Of
private power activities. Morgan
apparently has q broad inner
slant on government to offer II
he is given an opportunity.
Meanwhile, the anti-Morgan-
ties are indirectly inviting him
to go easy. Their speeches in
Congress generally contain per-
Sonal warning to him that he
will yet need their support.

L lette income tax increases is
