the big stuff, they argue; coal, iron, oil and railroads are differ ent. These just beg for bureau cratic bossing.
 Of course big industries are more interesting to politicians be- cause they employ large numbers of people and affect the daily lives of millions more. The fact remains however, that govern ment can and does make mistakes in the operation of big industries. Moreover, appropriate encourage ment from government in rela- lively small enterprises has been known to result in much good.
 Significant Decisions
 Since government enterprises tend ultimately to become mono polistic, mistakes in them can be far more fateful than private blunders. Our government made two important decisions in 1942, which illustrate the case perfectly. One, to take speculative flyer in Arctic oil, has cost American tax payers 300 million goodbye" dollars already. The other decision had to do with penicillin.
 Penicillin is drug, mold eX- tract that most people know less about than they do about gaso- line. Some perfectly astounding cures are being worked with it, including cure of meningitis. It was discovered by an English scientist, Sir Alexander Fleming, in 1929 but production was tedi- ous, slow and costly and conse- quently few sufferers were helped by it for 13 years.
 In Mass Production ny iC1S, Oui HIS wal ySdl, some American capitalists had taken a hand with marked suc- cess. The product was costing $2O bottle then, and the average pa tient required three bottles. Gov ernment authorities realized that war would create a need for it so they guaranteed a large market and provided capital for mass pro- duction. History will record the splendid results.
 With the governments big pur- chase of this successful time, vol ume production started. Now there are 20 factories. The largest cost more than three and a half million dollars, but penicillin is costing less than $1 bottle, $3 per treatment. Many lives have been saved and more will be. Mankind will be healthier and happier. Government encourage ment of this business proved wise and benfeicial.
