Some New Dealers are contribut-

sion-perhaps in the hope that they
would have chance to try out
again their economic nOstrums that
failed in the Thirties.
Henry Wallace is lamenting a
business bust" which, he says, will
come in the early Fifties. Some
economists in OPA, the Commerce
Dept, the Labor Dept, the Agricul-
ture Dept, privately are chorusing
a recession next spring and a big
bust in the offing."
They say the recession predicted
for early 1946-the recession which
did not happen, is coming now.
They ignore the fact that the Adj
ministration, relying on the bad
guess by the same economists,
forced wages up. This in turn fore
ed prices up.
If a recession comes, the Admin
istration's wage policy, in the
opinion of many businessmen, will

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
FOR THANKSGIVING
BY Mary L. Davenport
NutritiOnist, State Board of Health

NutritiOnist, State Board of Health
Advanced planning for Thanks
giving this year revolveS around
several motives. The first, of
course, retains the original idea of
Thanksgiving, the second is the
joy of family members return and
somewhere down the list is your
desire to retain your reputation as
a cook in spite of little or no sugar.
The first two motives are left to
you. For the other We have two
dessert SuggeStiOnS-One using
only two tablespoons of sugar, the
other one requiring II cup. How
ever, neither of these fall and win
ter favorites need to be set aside
for only Thanksgiving Day. Pump
kin pie and pumpkin custard have
rarely been given their rightful
place as good contributors to our
food needs. Pumpkin, being yellow
should need no further encourage
ment, then its added benefit of the
milk and eggs make it delight
to the nutritiOniSt not to mention
the delight to the consumer"

Warns Against
Cartels AS Lead
/ To Govt Control
Speaker Sees End As NatiOnali-
ZatiOn OF u. s. Industry

Those Americans who advocate
cartels are unwittingIy or not
laying the ground for government
control of industry and, in the
final analysis, naturalization of
industry"
This warning was sounded last
week by Herbert II. Schell, chair.
man of the international Economic
Relations Committee of the Ma.
tiOnal Association of Manufactur.
erS.
Mr.. Schell emphasized that the
NAM, whose 10000 members pro-
duce 85 per cent of Americas
manufactured products, is "unal-
terably opposed" to cartels.
Government Steps In
Declaring that no group of men
ever sat around table and fixed
low prices, the NAM speaker
added that 'if private industry
tried to fix prices that consumers
must pay, government would step
in and protect the consumer
against the price fiXers."
"When government steps i'm TO
that extent" he said, "there is no
possible way to prevent it ulti-
mately from exercising larger and
larger control over industry"
Pointing to advantages of the
American system of individual en-
terprise, Mr. Schell remarked that
the quantity and quality of our
production in the war years made
a deep impression on the people
of the world and made them rea-
lize that this was possible only
under "a virile and dynamic econ
Omy."

Results of the November election
mean that the American people
want to keep our system of indivi-
dual enterprise and that they re-
iCcted a labor" government for a
business" government, according
to Russell Porter, d nationally
recognized writer on business in
the Observation-Disclosures New

The results made it "abundantly
clear that a large section OF the
rank and file Of union members
and their families participated in
the broad public protest against the
action of the government in turning
so much power by certain labor
leaders, the encouragement by gov
ernment of wage increases that led
to price increases, the misuse of the
strike weapon, and the failure to
eliminate communists and fellow
travellers from posts of influence in
some unions" Mr.. Porter writes.
This demonstration of faith in
the business ot the country puts
upon the latter great responsible
ties as we'll as opportunities.
The nation evidently is entering
/ upon an era in which the policies
