that administrator and thos dictator

control Of public opinion In this de-

they were in Congress.
Under our form Of government
no matter how one-man the con-
troll, how drastic the regulation, the
concessions which will be compelled
from the various segments Of our
economic society must be bought.
Labor In time Of war will pay two

Manchester, VT, September l6 -
Especially That 80 long as a
major European war RACES, the most
important problem facing American
business is to prepare itself against
the possibility that America will be
drawn into the conflict" was the
declaration made here today by Leo
M. Sherne, editor Of Tax Research
Institute of America, Inc, to New
England industrialists and business
leaders assembled in the 56th Quar-
terly Meeting of the New England
Council.
1.-THE fact that the United States is
not involved in this war cannot ex-
cuse the American executives os-
trich- like habit of closing his eyes
to threats" the speaker said. with
those who say that to discuss what
our entry into such war will mean,
even coldly and scientifically, is to
enhance the probability Of such a
happening, we emphatically disa-
gree. Throw the white glare of pub
lefty on the real characteristics Of
any social disease and you have
moved halfway toward Its eradica-
ton.
Mobilization
1--WE must remember that the plan
for the mobilization Of American
industry has not only been COM
pleted by the War and Navy DEPART
ments, but that several phases OF
this plan are already in operation.
Further, the recent appointment Of
the War Resources Board is dra-
matte declaration to business that
the coordination Of the nations eco
nomic resources is not merely an
academic study.
"War can neither be repealed nor
declared unconstitutional. Some at
tention by individuals and associa-
tions must therefore be directed to
the business problems of war. Neu-
trality - embargoes - ornaments
- war - war profits tax - foreign
policy = and other similar govern
lrent ventures are business prob

depression affect private enter

I'm the course OF my entire study

lions Board and the specialized in
