Show NEW DEAL INEVITABLE By EDWARD A. FILENE Boston Merchant. WHATEVER happens to the Roosevelt administration, administra-tion, whatever congress does, whatever the Supreme court says, we may rest assured that America Is going to have some kind of New Deal. Business especially will never again be done as it was in the years previous to 1929. This would be impossible because the old conditions con-ditions no longer exist and any government which is organized as well as any business which is organized or-ganized must plan In relation to the new conditions regardless of how much we may prefer the old. This is true throughout the world. Wherever conditions have changed sufficiently to make some new deal necessary there have been new deals. Some from my viewpoint have been very unfortunate deals and some that have been exceedingly exceed-ingly autocratic have caused very many observers to conclude that the days of democracy are about over and that the world is turning to dictatorships. |
