After describing pre-war re-
forms of the New Deal, the
authors point out:
"The New Deal also tried to
preserve many features of the
system of private enterprise.
But probably more important In
the long run was the entrance
OF government itself into the
businesses of banking, housing,
and public utilities. More i'm
pOrtant than any reform meas
ures was the assumption by the
New Deal government of many
functions heretofore performed
almost exclusively by private
enterprise.
"What the result Of this new
trend i'm American social rela-
lions will be, no one dare fore
tell. That IL is n trend that
cannot easily be reversed. seems
clear. As Professor Larson OF
the Harvard Graduate School
OF Business Administration de-
clared I'm 1941: of one thing
we may be certain, the old days
OF laissez faire are gone
"a new age or system Is I'm
the making, which Professor
Gras calls national capitalism.
I'm which control and planning
are largely In the hands Of gov
eminent and only routine man
agement TO any great extent
remains to private business. This
growing union Of business and
government Is probably no
temporary development - tn e
changes represent not only cur
rent difficulties but a new sit.
uation, the trend is obvious; we
no not know how far II will co.
Abundant Material
'Tn a broad sense the age OF
enterprise in America may still
be young. The union of business
and government OF which Pro-
fessor Larson speaks may yet
result In even greater freedom,
greater wealth for the multitude
than did the hustling, optimistic
economy based exclusively upon
private initiative. We know too
little today of the nature Of
institutional or national enter
prise to estimate their potential
tiles. Certainly the materials
for a satisfactory economy are
abundant In the United States"
Thus the academic mind leaves
the problem hanging in mid air.
Behind so much academic spec
ulation Is a concealed spirit of
Marxism. which exalts govern
ment and which is suspicious Of
the individual. When this period
is viewed in historical perspec-
tive, the depression of the thir-
ties may possibly be regarded
as a mere temporary backwash
after so years Of rapid progress.

An unusual feature Of the Jspa-
nese campaign In Malaga was the
series of successful developments
by water. which were carried out
by their army. This series of en-
velopments was made possible by
the large number Of small boats
they seized at Penang. Such en-
velopments forced British retire
ment because of the peril TO their
communications Through the cam
paign. British military psychology
unfortunately was governed Tar
too much by the knowledge that
the Island Of Singapore. believed
to be impregnable. lay across their
rear, and could be defended. As a
result. all the actions fought on
the Msiayan peninsula were for
them merely delaying actions.
RESISTANCE NOT STOUT
As may be inferred from Guards
dispatch TO the United Press, their
resistance, in consequence, never
was of a determined character. We
sn have been accustomed to the
thought that a British army was
secure as soon as II reached the
safety Of q seaport and Its ships.
Singapore. however. proved an
other Yorktown. Here, for the sec
ond time in history, an English
army was cornerod with the enemy
controlling the sea. Thus Gen. Per-
cival. who commanded the British
forces. and CORVALLIS. at York
town. constitute the most amaz-
ing parallel in history. But In the
case of Percival. the army he sur
rendered was ten times stronger
than that given up by CORVALLIS

In a temperance sermon at the +
Church OF the Covenant Sunday /
night. w. ]. Herwig. executive sec
rotary OF the Washington Temper
ance association, made the follow
ing reference to the liquor traffic
in the state of Washington and
measures proposed for its control:
When the Legislature enacted
the present liquor control laws
they provided that no hard liquor
should be sold by the drink over
the bar, and that no liquor should
be sold on Sunday. Chatting under
these restrictions, the liquor in
terests have attempted to modify
those provisions in the last two
sessions of the legislature. BY
marshaling their forces the tenn
perance people were able to defeat
those attempts. Liquor interests
are now carrying their fight to the
people. having filed an initiative
measure TO place on the ballot a
law giving them the right to sell
hard liquor by the drink in hotels,
restaurants and taverns.
With liquor conditions already
intolerable and growing steadily
worse. and with auto accidents and
deaths mounting to an alarming
degree, we are confident that the
decent people of this state are un-
alterably opposed to modifying in
any respect our present liquor con-
troll laws.
From the standpoint of safety
on our highways alone. we are OPP
posed to throwing open still wider
the floodgates of liquor. Automo-
bile deaths in 1888. the last year
of prohibition, were AL.
In 1871 they mounted To

per cent since repeal. while
the population of the state.

The enormous increase in women
