Bureaucracy in Business
Philadelphia Recordl

Congressman Bruce Barton made address the other day before the Insurance Advertising Confer ence in which he voiced a familiar complaint against the New Deal
 The trouble with the present Administration :" he said lis that it is trying to the profit system without having in it's ranks any men who ever made a profit know how and why profits are made"
 The complaint does not happen to be true There are plenty of successful business in the Adninis- tration from the President himself down Even those enfants terrible Messrs. Corcoran and Cohen, were successful not only in making but in keeping profits in the 1929 bull market That's more than many businessmen did,
 But let us assume for moment that what Con- gressrnan Barton says is correct And let us grant that business run by it's is efficiently than it could be by any bureaucrat Doesn't part of economic trouble arise from the fact that too many businesses today longer run in the old fashioned enterprisng and individuastic way, that today we have business bureaucrats well as Govern ment bureaucrats?
 As between the two the Government bureaucrat is not always the less enlightened. We note an example the difficulties encountered by railroads. Government bureaucratS in the ICC felt that the two-cent fare would provide greater profit than the two and a half cent a mile fare. The railroad bureaucracy felt otherwise; they see their mis- take. The same day Barton made his speech the Norfolk & Western announced that it would reduce its fares to F cents mile
 Maybe wouldn't need much Government interference if the railroads by the older type of enerprsng capitalist instead of by represen tatives of absentee interests
 The ranks of the absentee capitalists too contain many who made profit or know how profits are made
 A little more old fashioned business and we wouldn't need so much ew-fangled government.

women have invested in them. This is significant cross section of the nations citizens.
 The bonds do not draw interest Instead, they are sold at discount of 25 percent in order to avoid the expense of paying out interest money in small sums the interest being provided for by the rise in the value of the bonds toward par as they approach maturity Thus, although the maturity value of the bonds sold to date reported at more than $2000 100000 the actual money that has been invested in them and received by the Government is closer to $l 500 000000.
 Even this is a sizabe sum It represents more than $1 900 on an average saved in less than four years by each of the 100000 investors Such volume saving by such number of citizens is evidence that large numbers of people still hold to the ancient virtue of thrift.
 While the Government has been selling these bonds the Federal debt has risen by about $10O0O- 100000 The S15000o000O contributed by the baby bonds" has thus been of considerable importance in the financing of the Government deficit Although this may seem an easy of funds to tap the eventual consequences may be different One of the outstanding arguments for broadening the income tax base is to give larger part of the people direct financial stake in the Government to check on unwise or excessive expenditures Much the same result may be accomplished in the end by the sale of these bonds All who buy them have interest in seeing that they receive back full value at maturity and to that extent will be unsympathetc to measures Baby bonds may thus turn out to be not only a ready of revenue but an important force for sound Government practices and policies

GROUP HEALTH AND MEDICINE

Tn the background of the current trustbustng suit against the American Medical Association and its Washington affiliate is common human problem, long disregarded in the main
 It is the desire of MT. Average John Jupes to be able to:
 Have daughter Martha's eyes examined and fitted with glasses.
 Find out for sure the meaning of that pain in his side
 Look for the next baby with love instead of dread.
 To have all this without fear of punishing doctor bills,
 The medical profession in recent years has made progress toward this with group disqualification and various sem-charitable clinics to which low income groups have access
 But average John Jupes came in between. He net rich enough to laugh at doctor bills, not poor enough to feel comfortable about going to public clinics
 III Washington, leaders in the profession recog- nzed this gap and recommended that their fellows work ont pooling CT prepayment system for middle and low income groups which would give them more comfortable feeling about medical bills.
 Medical leaders in Washington resentful on two fronts They had been "scooped" by non-pro- fessionaf group And they could only blame the rank and file of their profession for not supporting their own plan earlier They began fighting back, against the Group Health Association, and bestirng their laggard associates
 Group Health Association supported by an HOLC grant of s4oOOO opened its clinic early in 1937 hirH it's own physicians began collecting monthly dues, and promised full medical and clinical services raludiny surgery for subscribers Its ranks of few hundiel sWelled to thousands of Federal employees and outsiders looked on envously
 The principal medical men of Washington largely members Of the American Medical Association pressed their own aggard members to work out plan
 AMA. members in Washington, assisted by the national organization and its major executive Dr. Morris Fishbein of Chicago, attacked the Group Health proposition dangerous the health of the country
 But it the next step attributed to the medical fraternity here which became the basis for the grand jury indictments of 16 Washington physicians and five AMA leaders in other cities, including Dr. Fish hen.
 The indictment charged that A.M.A physicians conspired to deny of Washington hospitals to Group Health members or their patients.
 Meanwhile there is evidence that average John Jupes will get at least part of his dream even while the doctors battle Shortly before the Federal indct ment was issued in Washington the Washington AHA. got its plan in order and announced it Fees roughly comparable to the $3 month charged by Group Health.
 This Washington AM.A. plan, with modifications likely will be pushed in other cities

We're Still Friends
CNew York World-Telegram


 Doubtless there some people in the United States who had hoped that at the Lima Conference the twenty -one American Republics would conclude ironclad military and political alliance and thumb their collective at the rest of the world.
 To those the Lima meeting may to be ending in failure
 But to way of thinking it is something to be thankful for that in the of three weeks of debate disagreement and compromise, the delegates managed to adopt 110 resolutions by unanimous vote. We don't believe any other twenty y-one nations the globe could do well.
 True, most of the resolutions not of the spectacular stuff that makes front page news. They death with such ideals and principles freedom of expression and womens Ii ghts and such common place matters of cooperation promotion of inter- national trade, preservation of wildlife and inter- American copyrights
 But as Senator Borah has said the solidarity declaration step in that direction. And surely Secretary Huls patient negotiations and his final acceptance of the Argentine position cannot fail tC have good effect in proving that the United States is willing to travel with" her sister republics
 At least the delegates leaving Lima not carry ing back to their respective homes animosites that threaten future disturbance of peace continent That fact alone in our opinion, makes the concord of Lima something far superior to the pact of Munich
