terprise. But most Of them. while
important. are relatively second
airy.
The primary reason for the
economic failure of the New
Deal goes beyond detailed err
rors In legislation. administra-
tion, and the selection Of fed
erai personnel.
ct lies In the fact that, de-
spite the ideals II expressed
for q social America. the New
Deal leadership has almost
completely misunderstood eco
nomIc America.
we have heard much OF the
liberalism OF the Democrats and
yet. have they been truly and
wholly liberal? The New Deal has
sought to advance It's social lib
eralism through economic policies
which, historically and in their eff
feet on American enterprise, are
profoundly reactionary.
Cites Detectives
THE first objective of liberalism
was to free men and their enter
prises from domination of unduly
centralized political power. The
American revolution was supposed
to have won this battle.
THE next objective OF liberalism
was TO free men and their enter
prises from domination by unduly
concentrated economic power. In
this battle American liberalism
attacked trusts. monopolies, and
varied devices through which
wages, hours. prices. economic out
put and human opportunity were
dictated.
Liberalism insisted that con-
centrated economic power was
hampering national free enter
prise. and that unless price fixing.
and restriction OF output to raise
prices, could be eliminated from
our economic life. competitive free
enterprise would disappear and
the American people would face a
tyranny of unduly concentrated
economic power. This power was
then checked.

The upturn, which carried values

was the result of buying that came
from previous short" sellers as

emily was inspired by strength in

ASKEDBYB BURGESS
Says we Face A Situation Az
Critical As Though We
Were Already At War
BY FRANK MacMILLEN

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. %.
-LR-"We face a situation as criti.
cal as though we were already at
war;" and business as usual" can
no longer be the guiding principle Of
the country, W. Randolph Burgess.
vice-chairman of the National City
Bank of New York, told 1900 of the
nations leading bankers todsy.
Addressing the seth convention Of
the American Bankers association
Burgess, a former vice-president OF
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, and a recognized authority on
federal finance, strongly attacked the
progress of the defense effort to date.
Our avoidance of war and QUE
future position in the world probably
depend on prompt arming," Burgess
declared.
vOur defense program is laggards
held back by red tape, technicalities,
a failure to put first things first.
Nothing must now stand in its
way.
Concentration on this program
means readjustments by business,
labor and government, some of them
painful and laborious."
Pointing out that wars and periods
of initiation and sharply rising prices
have gone, historically, hand-in.hand
he warned:
Our defense spending is piled on
top of a huge annual budgetary de-
ficit. We have been on a wild gov.
ernmental spending spree and our
habits and powers Of control are
impaired.
"As a people, who have not suf.
fered the usual consequences Of
these abortions and have come to
believe we never will, a highly dan
gerous frame of mind"
