CAPITALISM has constantly changed
~ and expanded
Through its multi-makng, its increase
in the plentitude Of necessities capitalism
has provided the only real securities
freedom to earn, freedom to spend, free
dom to live
1t has eagerly welcomed new ideas
Every activity which makes life more
cultural, more comfortable and more Sc
cure, has been effected by capitalism
The expansion Of capitalism has been
limited only by the ideas of new enterprise
Generally speaking the quantity Of
new enterprises has kept pace with me-
chancal improvements in industry Work
ers displaced by machinery have been
absorbed into new enterprises and into
service industries.
Money is only credit on available
goods and services. Therefore the more
goods and services there are-the more
goods and services can be bought-the
weather. every one is.
THE faults of capitalism have arisen
because new ideas and new enterprises
have not quite kept pace with mechanical
improvements; workers displaced by MA
chinery have not been absorbed fast
enough.
Automatically and most haphazardly,
the genius of America has created new
enterprises which have kept pace with
chronological improvements. If it had not
done so, Marx gloomy prophecies would
long ago have come to pass, and we would
all be living in a drab ordered bossed
herded economy
This gap between the opportunities
Of new enterprises and the displacement
brought about by mechanical improvement
is the great chink in the armor of capi-
talism.
The time has come for CAPITALISM
TO PLAN 1t can change in terms of
itself or 1t can be changed. If It is changed
1t will be destroyed Socialistc crutches

it 10 stumble.

NOW is the time when communities
y the nation over must think about
war memorials in earnest If they are
going to think effectually about the
subject at all
The subject has not been entirely
neglected amidst the stresses OF war
Some cities have adopted plans
and others have been considering
plans.
For the most part, however these
were mainly deferred projects
necessarily deferred-and not all OF
them have been especially good.
The reconstruction period immed.
lately ahead, when public works will
be carried on extensively, presents
the best period for action, and 1t IS
also the last period for the exercise
of Judgment and the making of con-
elusive decisions.
MOST timely, therefore, was the
4'I advice which Park Commls
sioner Robert Moses has given the
City of New York through the col
umns of the Journal American; and
it is advice which every progressive
city should heed.
For if there is a man in the entire
East who speaks from experience and
authority on such topic, Mr.. Moses
is the man.
He does not want TO see nelghbor-
hoods cluttered up with grotesque
and meaningless "statuary."
God forbid" he protested, that
the atrocities of WPA art should be
repeated - styiized, symbolic, de-
humanized people representing fish
ing and fire insurance, pan-Ameri-
canisn1 and penicillin, art, Which
looks as If a drunken Doodsman had
hacked it out of an old oak With
dull AK"
That obviously is the error to be
most avoided.

est planner of them all the most efficient
The time has come for businesses not only
to plan individually, but together Busi-
nesses big and small must set up a central
organization which will attract and de-
velop every new workable idea In this
day and age of planning planning which
seeks to destroy free enterprise the
growth of new enterprises cannot be left

All businesses will take part in the
building of this new enterprise Of new

will be fostered and encouraged on

THE first so years progress of the
i automobile industry will not pass
unmarked here, thanks primarily to
the Detroit Public Library
Through CO operation of the
Automobile Manufacturers Assocla-
tion and individual manufacturers,
the library has opened an exhibition
running through Nov. 80, to mark
the golden anniversary of the horse
less carriage.
In Chicago the anniversary will
be celebrated by re-enaetment of the
first automobile race which took
place Nov. 80, 1895.
In Detroit, so far as is known, the

only nod of recognition to the IN

Detroit to every part of the world
where motor cars have penetrated.

Supermen I945

TNHE United States last week learned
i how much it would have to pay to
feed Germany this winter S70000 900 for
762, 900 tons of food. The only chance of
repayment apparently lay in so interpret
ing the Potsdam agreement AS to allow
liberal recovery of German industry. Even
the shipments of this quantity of food into
the Reich may not avert starvation and
chaos. The German ration now averages
only ,354 calories day. The subsistence
minimum is 1000. Allied medical officers
also report that Germans have lost on an
average of between four and 20 pounds in
weight. The populations resistance to dis
ease is approaching the vanishing point.
And the estimates of the food needed
did not take into account the greatest
human problem - the 10000 900 German
refugees from Poland and Czecho- Slovakia
being dumped into the Reich For four
months they have flowed through Berlin
at the rate of 10000 day. There they
are given bowl Of soup and four OUNCES
of bread and put up over night in 56 pitiful
flophouses, usually old army barracks or
AFRAID shelters SO far 5000 900 to TO-
OOO,OOO Germans have poured into the
overcroWded Reich Millions more are on
the way The terrible press Of this dis
placed population has forced British and
