It's The stock reply when people

q New Deal booster who put $50 in
the campaign pot for Roosevelt in

Willkie, with. his blaring, fresh
Indiana voice, enjoys giving that
answer when q heckler from the
gallery pops the question, and it
vows the audience.
Since childhood, Willkie has be-

holds, too, that large corporations
sanely run are efficient, and give
management an opportunity to serve
the public at bargain prices, where
smaller units fail.
His Is . One-Man Show.
Willkie knows this corporation
efficiency stems from one-man or
small-group decisions. BY many
accounts, he himself is a one-man
boss of the system he runs, a sys-

companies into several States.
And yet this same Willkie is a
passionate believer in the Federal
system Of government with maxi

Court has recently recognized that
