The Only Question
HOFSES, Editor, Reading Labor Advocate

ing the larger industrial plant that
was needed for war, the war would
have been lost by America and
won by Germany - because Ger
many had already taken the mi
tiative in functioning as a control
led economy.
Free enterprise did not meet the
needs of the people in the years
following 1929. Free enterprise
did not equip and fight the war.
And free enterprise will not en-
able civilization to live in the
future. Those are facts that are
clear to anybody who can under
stand and analyze the course that
this and other nations already have
taken. They are facts that can not
be voted away.
Economic and social controls
on a broader front, controls that
will reach deeper into the lives
of every person On the earth, is the
future way of life. That is the de-
r e of forces beyond human con-
troll; men and women can wisely
conform to those forces, but they
can not resist them. 1T is the edict
of evolution, the necessary and in
evitable result of mans approach
to abundance. Freedom, as it was
known in the competitive era, is
dead.
Specialization and control is the
way of the future. The politicians
didn't talk about it, but they can
not reject it.
The only question that this and
future generations will decide is
whether social control will be
democratic or autocratic..
whether it will be control of the
economy BY the people and FOR
the people -. or control of the

ing else to do but wait for the sched-
ule and sunshine to catch up with
them, analyzed the fate of the st.
Louis Cardinals, who had lost their
first season series since 1910 and
dropped II of their last Is games.
Pittsburgh became the first club
In four years to beat the Cards over
q seasons play when they swept
another double-he last night,
7-3 and l0-5, for a 1910 edge in
games. The Red Birds haven't
beaten the Pirates in their last 10
meetings, tie being their best ef-
fort.
Frankie Frisch has had the Pi-
rates rolling in high gear at a .763
clip since August 9 and at the 500
season mark for the first time as
the Cards dipped below TOO.
The National League leaders were
having pitching trouble, with Harry
Brecheen failing to 60 the route in
the opener and Max Lanier suffer-
ing his fifth successive defeat In the
second.
Rip Sewell and Xavier Rescigno
took credit for the Pitt wins despite
two Cardinal homers by Johnny
Hopp and one each by Ray Sanders
and Ken ODea. Johnny Barrett and
Babe Dahlgren hit for the circuit
for the Pirates.
Rainy weather in Philadelphia
robbed the American League of it's
only scheduled action, pushing back
until tonight an owl tilt between
the leading Yankees and the Ath-
letics. Once again, idle Detroit, a
half game back, had a chance to
move in front by .0OO8 if New York
should lose.
Chicago clung to fourth place in
the National by downing Cincinnati,
80. in the second game of a double
header on Frank Secory's three-run
homer. after Harry Gumbert had
turned them back in the opener,
Al. Philadelphia at New York and
Boston at Brooklyn double headers

Wright Is Suspended
Indefinitely Here

Eddie Walker. who refused to al.
low Chalky Wright to go through
with scheduled fight with Jackie
Wilson at Uline Arena tonight
doesn't give a hoot about the in
definite suspension the District Box
ing Commission handed him and his
fighter today.
Walker principally is concerned
with Chalky's date with Willie Pep
in a title bout in Madison Square
Garden September 20. The local
commissions suspension applies only
to member States of the National
Boxing Association and Pennsyl-
vania. Long arm Of the NBA doesn't
reach New York, and Wright can
fight every day and twice on Sum
day there.
The Wright Wilson fight, origi-
nally scheduled for Grifith Stadium
last Tuesday, twice was postponed by
rain, and finally set for Uline Arena
tonight by Promoter Joe Turner.
Walker baked at the arrangement,
claiming his battler needed every
possible day to prepare for Pep.
The rival pilot, Jack Laken,
charged that Walker was using the
postponement as a gag to get out
OF dangerous match. and the OBJ
stinate manager finally admitted
this yesterday. saying the local
brawl was small pickins' in COM
parison with the Garden bout with
Pep. Walker also is said to have
some South American bookings
lined up for Chalky.
Turner and Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez today were attempting to
find an opponent for Wilson and
probably will run off the show next

up. Cleo Shans. Larry Bolvin and
