As business men whose individual
investments run into many thou
sands of dollars, Michigan farmers
are becoming downright weary over
the persistent parade of commits
sioners of agriculture to and from
Lansing, the state capital.
For the past ten years, in fact,
Michigan has switched .biennially
its state administration. The two
year term for governor has permit
ted a shift of political sentiment to
turn the tides, first In favor of one
party and then in favor of the
opposition, with the result that the
post Of commissioner has been a
transient livelihood in which ex-
perience has counted for little.
The turmoil of industrial unem-
ployment, which marked most of the
years since 1892, influenced enough
independent voters to demand a
change" at Lansing. The farmers
have been caught in tn middle. They
don't like it. They prefer a business
like continuity of policy in the
state department, just as they like
to have in running their own bus
mess.
At the recent annual meeting of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau at
Michigan State college, East Lam
sing. farmer delegates arrived by
the hundreds. Officers were armed

pleading is good and persuasive. Pos
sibly his sort of capitalism, in this
world of "cold and clammy facts" is
as visionary as the dreams of the

does not say, What is good for bust
ness is good for the people" he says,
What is good for the people is good
for business" His capitalism would
be equally distasteful to the statist,
the super-planner, the socialist, and
communist on one side, and the mo-
nopolist, the cartel builder, the fl
nancial imperialist on the other"
Does it sound possible? You tell me-
The book contains chapters, full of
pointed truths and keen insight, on
the relations and sometimes the con-
flicts between the individual and the
state; on President Roosevelt and his
administration; and on the almost mi

omy has achieved since the war be-
gan-only, of course, Johnston calls
that economy American capitalism"
and thus makes his definition of cap
italism broad enough to include labor
resources as well as capital.

Professionals against the social sta
tus quo get called hard names by the
| bookful, and most of the names end
in list. If you refuse to be an econom,
ic Pollyanna-if you see anything less
than perfection in things as they are
you are obviously a communist, a
voodooist, and polygamist: the
meanings of the terms used make not
the slightest difference so long as
they sound disreputable to the users.
Fortunately, people at large have
grown to understand that these names
are not intended to be descriptive,
but are meant merely to express an
tagonism. By dint of excessive rep
etition, the cry of "ist!" has come
to evoke boredom rather than indig-
rein to their normal stupidity, the
enemies of beneficial change have
smoothed the way for the thing they
hate.
Few who advocate social reforms
are communists Vast numbers of
them are true capitalists at heart;
just one thing keeps them from being
capitalists in practice on larger or
smaller scale: lack of capital. By
consistently keeping them in need,
their oppressors may one day drive
them to communism, just as a stupid
and selfish husband can drive a good
wife to infidelity
Eric Johnston's book is proof that
some sections of capitalist leadership
are becoming aware of these simple
truths. Johnston is president of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce - and
Johnston's eyes are wide open.
He calls himself typical American
businessman; at least he is an Amer
lean businessman. He speaks of
himself often, and does not attempt
to disguise his natural concern with
the first person singular by the poor,
pathetic, pointless hypocrisy of refer

the other fellows right to similar
degree of self-interest. He never
seems to feel, as so many employers
and managers do, that it was right
for him to advance himself but it is
now wrong for anyone else to attempt
to do so. He would probably have
little patience with the manager who |

Sad Example

The recent battle of words between former
Ambassador William c. Bullitt and the Soviet
newspaper Pravda may be minor sklrmlsh
but it is nonetheless depressing. Mr.. Bullitt
wrote magazine article from Rome which
contained A catalog of fears and indictments
of the Soviet Union, credited to sources general
" defined as ''the Romans Then Pravda an.
swered in the rich and uninhibited prose for
which it is famous, calling Mr.. Bullitt several
varieties of liar.
It seems a pity that Pravda could not re
alize that Mr.. Bullitt is no longer member
of our government and that he was, rightly
or wrongly, writing as private citizen in
country of free speech and free press. II
seems an equal pity that Mr.. Bullitt didn't
realize that the fears Of these vaguely defined
Romans are the same Bolshevik bogeyman
with which Hitler and Goebbels have long at
tempted to divide the western allies from
Russia.
Too many such impetuous incidents are 60
ing to jeopardize International cooperation and
good feeling.
