COP Has Some Kind
Words for Bureaus

Federal responsibility regard
ing agricultural should be directed
to such economic sterilization
through disposition Of SURPRISES, as
surance OF fair market prices. -
Who says this? The rs Republican
governors assembled in st. Louis
early this month to back Mr..
Dewey's presidential campaign.
They represented. we opine, both
the common man. and likewise,
the uncommon man.
And if you want further support
for Mr.. Bingham's thesis that the
leaders in the world of technology,
the men who own the machines and
supervise their operation, like some
Of the bureaucrats, note the state
ment from authentic sources that
after the war industry Is going to
encourage the perpetuation OF some
of the functions Of the OPA and the
WPB because it is thought they can
help stabilize industry.
On the other side of the medal,
again, just to preserve a nice bal
ance, what about the CT Bill OF
Rights? That law puts into. the
hands OF the federal government

welfare program ever framed. |

the federal treasury. 1t was passed
unanimously by congress.
So 1t goes.
| We can boil down the debate In
congress over unemployment insur-
ance and the effort to put the ad-
ministration OF the payments into
the hands Of the states, into much
more immediate and practical ques-
ton than the broad principle OF
states rights, Capitalization Of gov
eminent or the growth OF bureauc-
racy. It is simple matter here OF
whether the administration (any
administrator handing out the ben
efits directly, sets up the office
holders who do the handing out,
or whether the state governments

these gracious functions. In other
words, who gets the political sup
port in return?
| I'm sorry but that's the way 1t Is.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. G.

The much-mooted question OF
states rights as against the over
Capitalization of government In
Washington-which is Jumped neatly
into the one word bureaucracy
is due for a thorough airing IN the
coming political campaign.
The recent debate in the senate
over recorersion, especially in the
contest over whether the federal
government should administer the
unemployment payments during the
change-over from war production to
civilian production, Is a good ex-
ample.
There will be much sound and
fury, much laundering in the index
on this subject. Little will be found
to have been accomplished when the
dust settles. For in this question we
behold an interesting paradox. New
Dealers as we'll as Republicans. left
wingers as we'll as right-wingers, de-
plore the growing Capitalization OF
power in the federal government as
a threat to democracy. And yet, all
OF them, when they sit down to look
at the facts, admit privately that
there is little or no chance of check
ing this trend.
The very groups which oppose the
tendency toward the creation OF
more federal machinery and de-
nounce the hureauerats the loudest,
are insistent that enough OF the
bureaucrats who handle their spe-
cial interests be spared whenever
the axe threatens to fall.
It is upon this little inconsistency
that President Roosevelt always
hangs his rebuttal whenever Sena-
tor Byrd and other critics OF his Law
ish government spending call for q
reduction OF the government pay
roll.
OF course, the war badly dis
turbed the traditional democratic in
stitution OF checks and balances and
lifted private enterprise right out by
the hair and sat down in its place
with the brutal Indifference which is
associated with Mars. The fedora
government today finds itself doing
business on scale larger than al
peacetime enterprise put together
Some OF these activities are boune
to stick when normal times finally
return, but the trend toWarc
bureaucracy started even before
that.
According to Alfred Bingham WHIT
has written a book called 1.-THE
Practice OF Idealism," which yot
ought to read whether you can agree
with it or not, the trend toWare
bureaucracy is due largely to twt
of five revolutions which he say!
are going on now.
Bingham says that revolution re
suits from the pent-up pressure Q
delayed social change He believe!
that, like Water-poWer, 1t cal
"either sweep in destructive loot
over peaceful cities and farms" O.
1t can be controlled and turned t
beneficial use.

trial revolution which has made
mass production and all the Won
ders of the machine age possible.
/. Billion-dollar corporations required
some government control, various
industries, notably those producing

conducted to aid business became

grown steadily since.

actually demand the services OF
such bureaucrat, he may create q
situation which his competitor, or
those who may become his victim,
insist must be controlled by the gov

| OF course, Mr. Bingham's answer

pansion OF governmental powers Is
all right, SO long as 1t is self-govern-
