A DEAR DELUSION
It's rather curious how that dear
delusion of the soap-box orators
and of many highly placed New
Dealers-that Big Business runs this
government and this country, per-
sists. 1t would be enlightening to
any one who has any doubt about
the accuracy of this often-made
charge to study the proceedings of
the convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
and then to watch the ensuing po-
litical developments.
1t would be fairly accurate to call
the chamber meeting gathering OF
Tories. All of them admit certain
social obligations which the New
Deal program makes start toward
meeting, but the really solid APP
plause always came at a peroration
which advocated demolishing one
part or another of the New Deal
structure.
Particularly the chamber dele
gates applauded speakers who want
ed the National Labor Relations
board fired out the though
they would save collective bargain
ing. They screamed their approval
of returning control of relief expend-
lures to local communities.
JUST WHO THEY ARE
Now as matter of fact, the men
who attended this convention were a
very liberal cross section of the sue
cessful business men of America.
Liberal not in its political sense,
SO frequently misused, but in the
sense that it was a generous sam
ping. They represent and are a
substantial part of the big Bust
ness" element which the radical
orators tell us run this country.
They are the men against whom the
antitrust laws are aimed.
This being so, and it would be
rather difficult to deny it, one might
suppose, if he believed the radical
orators, that congress would be CIV
ing an apprehensive ear to the ut
terances of these tycoons. One
might expect there would be rush
on Capitol Hill to do their bidding.
That is one might expect all
this il one were visitor from Rus
STA who had not heard anything
about the United States except from
left-wing orators. Because, OF
course, the plain truth is that con-
gress paid little or no attention
to the business men.
