Durant Favors
National Brain

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IL. (UP).
The greatest danger of revolution
in America today is the fear OF
the middle class that the growing
radical movement NAV sweep
away their wealth and power, ac-
.cording to Will Durant, noted au-
thor and philosopher, who IS lee
turing at the University OF South
en California.
IF the middle elias sbecomeS
convinced that the radical move
ment may develop into a revolu-
ton" Durant said, ut Will H.
nance a Fascist coup, choosing
dictatorship from above rather
than rule from the proletrait;;
There is no threat of a radical
revolution because the middle
class is too well established and
has too broad a basis in American
life"
Durant sees, however, another
threat to the American system in
confiscatory legislation. "Confis,
catory legislation, by taking all
the wealth of the wealth-creators,
discourages initiative and kills
the goose that laid the golden
egg" he states.
As possible panacea for heal
ing the wounds that may grow
and draw the life-blOod of the
American organism, Durant fav-
ors the organization Of ma
tional brain" ,,
"Euch a body" he said, would
be composed of representative
of every profession and occupa-
ton. 1t would have no Legislative
powers, but would study national
problems and make recommends
tons to congress.
Each individual, concrete prob
lem of American life would be
met separately and at one time. y
