After three and one-half weeks
of lively travel across the country

swelling tide of better economic
conditions sweeping westward across

Mr.. waynor's trip took him to

conditions good in the Middle West,
and very good along the East Coast,
while Seattle and Portland both re-

There is an immense amount OF

SO long as we remain a capitalistic
economy will we remain a democ-

The changing attitude toward big
business held by the National Ad-
ministration is greatly responsible
for the economic upsurge in the
land, with the tendency being
toward lessening of restrictions and
taxation that lowered consumer
prices may result, Mr. Waynor de-
clared. This is the opinion of most
we'll informed business men with
whom he conversed.
Another change in the Admins
trations attitude, that toward la
Dor, is helping to force labor fac

difficulties with less disorder, and,
though frequent small flare-ups

Doubtless Douglas principal con-

thorough knowledge of corporate
organization.
Although once he was an attor-
