This was pretty well put in its statement that the outlook for production and gonS in lS41 lies primarily in whether the responsible persons in these groups (businesS. industry laborD will show wiling ness face the issues and demands of free-eneer. prise system realistically and show intelligence and skill or flexible experimentation in arriving at work able formulas of adjustment
 Quite a mouthful New Deal critics boiled that down to:
 Depend upon the common sense of the Amer ican people"
 Well and good The American people have 6 lot of it. But they don't always have information upon which to act That, say New Deal critics. is just what this new set-up is supposed to do, to inform the people and to suggest ways to meet these prob lens.
 What the employment act meant, it meant anything they say guidance and leadership. They compare the councils report to a roadmap foaoers nicely colored and embroSsed the outside but which when opened, has no road map and no direc- tions inside It tells on the outside where you are supposed to be going, but does not tell how to get there and where the detours are to avoid trouble
 The council, its critics pointed out nicely warns of the dangers one hand of making no prepara- ton at all for economic upsets and on the other, of the bread-and-crcuses theory of ancient Rome But in suggesting the middle way it offers no guides for that middle way. s-
 The council is, of course, advisory. Perhaps New Dealers are expecting too much
 But somewhere they say, there must be leader ship and that is true. The council iseh said that the people now expect and demand that the Federal Government take more active leadership. and that was the chief reason for the Employment Act.
 That puts it up to President Truman when he makes his economic report to Congress, also his first.

NEW ENGLAND's WHITE GOLD
Christian Science Monitor)

Gone are the days when the de- parting rays of Indian Summers soft sun shone on a New ngland va- cationland quietly folding up it's doors and rolling in the sidewalks until June's glorious days would again open up the treasures of mountain and shore.
 For Yankee thrift, with it's in. nate dislike of seeing anything wasted has converted the old-time deserted snow-covered hills and dales into winter fairylands.
 Like the Forty-Niners of Califor- nia's Gold Rush days, these New Englanders have found that there's gold (on) them there hills" But it's white gold. It's on the surface, easy to reach and paying big dividends. And, happily, the ups and downs of this market are easily converted inc to solid gains for those taking part.
 Perhaps the only chagrin that comes to the forward-looking New EnglanderS is the regret that for so many years these wf1ite-gold-clad slopes remained untapped.
 But it's all different now. The slopes are ready. Snow is in the air. So hand over the skis and let's col- lect a dividend from these snow banks.

First CEA Report

WASHINGTON, Dec 26-The first annual report of the Council of Economic Advisers which operates as an advisory board the President under the l946 Employment Act is coming under criticism from the New Deal wing of the Democratic Party which, Of course is not so numerous hereabouts any more.
 They are gratified over the basic underlying philosophY of the new council AS pointed out here recently that is acceptance by the Government for the first me through Act of Congress, or respons- biity for watching the play of economic forces and helping to adjust them so there will be stability
 This as previously explained, is done first, by declaration of policy by Congress and second through machinery created by the act The council is charged with watching conditions and reporting to the Pres ioent who then reports to Congress, with recom- to Congress after study and report by joint com mittee
 The first report was not welcomed among New Dealers as if was in more conservative circles.
 Their reaction was that 1t reads like technical book on economics cold and dry like some of the speeches and forecasts of experts here in the early days of depression in the Hoover Administration
 In short they say, it forgets people forgets human beings which after all make up our country and our economy This consideration of people they explain, is what made the difference in approach Of the New Deal from that of some other regimes.
 This New Deal criticism has its importance po- lically though it may not seem so now because tnS element still represents good many people in the country and if economic conditions do take turn for the worse, probably will represent lot more. Some went so far as to say the council seemed to have followed the election returns
 In it's report the council hinted at a possible minor recession next year. As a means of meeting this it went into lots of words offering no concrete proposals but boiling down to an admontion that everything would be all right if everybody behaved himself.

MAKE ME A BOY AGAIN
 AND AGAIN
(New York Sun)

One of the lawyers for a man under indictment on two counts of bribery had this to say in a state- meTit:
 He Chis client) has admitted he had cocktails and drinks with foot ball players, but like any New Yorker, talk is big, especially when a 28-year-old boy is involved.
 Passing over the slur about big talking New Workers. let us consider the more cheerful note that the up- per limit of boyiShneSs has been ex- tended to 20. The word boy" when applied to anybody beyond the age of IS or 16. usually has a definitely patronizing note about it, as if the boy in question didn't know his way around. But extension of the boyish part of life into the late tWenties gives c fresh view of the infinite possibilities of irresponsible ity as life work. How silly our ances- tors were in that era when boys of 1S or 1o were considered men enough to be ship masters! Phil Sheridan, a hrigadier-general at 3i, was obviously a psychOpathic case.

StaSSen naLObbyiSt? a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-(NEAD Republican Presidential Candidate Harold E. Stassen's frank statement that he will open Washington office and seek to influence legislation before the next Congress raises the nice question of whether he will have to register a lobbyist"
 The question is raised here now not in any effort to put Stassen on the spot But It points up the Iac. reorganization act passed by the last Congress may require little fixing.
 To date fewer than 200 persons and organizations have registered as lobbyists with the Clerk Of the House and the Secretary of the Senate It is com- mon knowledge that the lobbyists m Wasnmgton are at least 10 times that nurnDer.
 Thus far the lobbying act has apparently had the effect of making many pressure groups tell tneif Washington Legislative representatives. to "stay away from Congress" That's all to the good The lobbying act was not intended however 70 curan the rignt or free speech nor to prohibit lobbying by making It a crime All that the law requires IS tnat loDpysE register and report The crime is failure to register and report.
 The act defines lobbyist any person whose principal purpose is to aid in the accomplishment oi any of the following:
 ~(a) The passage or defeat of any legislation by the Congress of the United States
 "Cb) To influence. directly or indirectly. the pas. sage or defeat of any egslaion by the Congress or the United States"
 The job which stassen has cut out for himself hits all specifications
 He says he wants to move the Republican Party along the path of true liberalism" He says ne wil confer with Senators and Congressmen individually and in groups He says he wants to influence labor leeislakion first, housing, heath and small Dusinesss Iegislatiom secondly.
 There is one tout" by which stassen might es- csue tfe ignominy se having to register as alobby-

 The whole question may be academic. Iegalistic and silly It's one of those things lawyers love to que, however and it's causing plenty of fun. Several congressman. though not wishing to be drawn into the argument publicly nevertheless give 1.-the record opinion that 1t looks if Stassen will have to register.
 If Stassen takes the easy way out and registers a lobbyist to end the controversy before t gets started. he will have to do number of things.
