Ar0uSeS Fear That All Our
People Are Being Regimented

Mr.. Roosevelt surely could not
have guessed the repercussions, the
backfire, that has greeted his an
n0uncement and that has continued
in unabated fury. The politicians
seized upon 1t for some of the dirti-
est wisecracks I ever have heard.
I heard one that really warrants
repetition here. The remark re-
called that King George, on his re-
cent visit to North America reset
his birthday so that it could be cele-
brated while he was in Canada
that being a prerogative of a king
and emperor. The question was then
propounded whether our President
contemplated a flexible holiday
schedule that would permit celebra-
tion Of events whenever the White
House thought national morale was
low.
There is more to that remark than
just a laugh. Behind the thought is
an indication of a fear that all Of
our people are being regimented.
told when to shout or when to weep,
when to work and when to play,
what to eat and what to wear and
not to think, but to obey OF course,
it is an exaggerated viewpoint; it
is not so exaggerated, however, that
it is not possible Of attainment. It
is to be remembered that the peo-
pie of Russia, and then Italy and
then of Germany have gone through
that very stage. It was step which
they took, and disergarded as unin-
porta1lt. It led directly to the con-
utions under which those people

now live and have their being, reg
mented all, controlled, beaten down
and living a life of fear.
Now, lest I be misunderstood.
hasten to say that I believe there
was no such thoughts as those in
Mr.. Roosevelt's mind. I believe his
action was taken because of his
ever-present urge to make changes.
There are many persons who hold
that it was another move by the
President designed to keep people
from thinking of their troubles. to
help them forget the terrible strug-
gle through which we have been,
and are, passing.

Element Of Uncertainty
Makes Change Harmful

And that brings us to the crux of
this situation. It is the element of
uncertainty that Mr.. Roosevelt in
jected into our national life by the
change in one holiday date that is
harmful. Instead of promoting q
feeling of security, my bunch Is
that the President has spread I'M
certainty and has caused confidence
to crash in many a spot of which
he never dreamed. Instead of Gre
ating net increase in business by
making a longer Christmas shop
ping period. I believe a cold analy-
sis will show that the change will
cost the country, as a whole, many
millions of dollars in net losses.
Our nation has grown up, not in
one piece, but in many pieces, each
one fitted to another as smooth
working as the gears of your auto
mobile. When the engine turns over,
1t, exer'ts pressure on the clutch,
then on the drive shaft, then on the
gears and then on the wheels, and
the car moves. When any one unit
OF industry in America-any one
phase of life is changed suddenly,
the clutch and the drive shaft and
the gears and the wheels of others
are affected. Mroe than any other
one thing that has happened in re-
cent years, I believe, the Presidents
announcement proves how closely
knitted our lives are. It shows, too,
that government can wreck national
life as well as preserve and protect
it. .. ...s .s..~

Thanksgiving Day Change
Stirs Up Unusual Comment

Whatever the reason for the
change, the announcement broke
out all of the Missing steam that was
pent UP. Business interests here
and there tried vainly to show q
united front. But that was impos-
sible because retailers disagreed as
to It's possible benefits. There was
no disclosure by the President Of

Take q Look at Practical
Side Of the Situation

Side Of the Situation
Again, as to the practical side
and the results flowing from the
breaking Of another precedent:
Let us consider first the litho-
graphing and printing industry of
the country. There are thousands
upon thousands of other businesses
that use the product of the lithog-
rapher and the printer. Consider
the calendar that hangs on your
wall. It will show November 80 as
the Day of Thanksgiving. The an
nual bill for calendars. paid for by
industry and by each of us who
buys calendar. exceeds $lOO,O OO.-
600. The calendars are not useless,
of course, but the fact that the "cal-
endar is wrong" has some indie
scribable effect upon me.
Take the transportation industry.
Officials begin planning many
months ahead for tours. special
rates, excursions. Public events and
ceremonies have been scheduled.
Each ties in with some other
scheduled for Thanksgiving day
when Thanksgiving day was to be
November 80. The printing industry
has done its job for most of those
things ahead even of today. What a
mess that is going to be!
Many editorials have been writ
ten, many interviews given out, con-
corning the effect of the new
Thanksgiving date on the college
football industry" for college foot
ball receipts run into millions of dol
lars every year. Through all of the
years, traditional ga1nes-the big
games peak of the season-has
been the Thanksgiving day game for
hundreds of colleges. But if Thurs
day, November 80, is just another
Thursday, what about the gate"
of those games?
