The Industrial Statesman Necessity and the times may be creating a new type of leader in the United States the industrial statesman. There are signs of his appearance in men like William S. Knudsen and Owen Young who are willing to give their time and abilities to public causes, and in men like Sidney Hillman and Walter Reuther from labor's ranks, who are willing to think about national problems on a broad scale. The United States has a predominantly industrial civilization. civil-ization. 'What could be more natural than to expect that out of the ranks of workers and managers of our vast industries should come leadership for the nation itself? Because our problems have been continually grave as a people and a nation for a decade or more, men of industry have been forced to give thought not only to their own business busi-ness affairs, but to those of the nation as a whole. For we know now that we cannot individually prosper if the nation goes to smash. The president of General Electric. Charles E. Wilson, has apparently been thinking along these lines, for an address he made in Philadelphia recently is filled with the spirit of a new industrial statesmanship. He sees, and we think rightly, a link between all the western countries in the fact that all of them are experiencing "the second stage of a revolutionary movement of the masses" which began with the World War and will rrobably last for several decades. The common people of Britain fight, he believes, "from a deep-held desire to insure for their masses and for their fellow men in other ands a much larger measure of economic freedom and security secur-ity than the conventional capitalistic and imperialistic system has previously provided." It was this mass urge toward security, this rebellion against frustration, that brought Nazism to Germany. The .same, UTfiQ.iSv felt here and in Britain, but these-countries have been thus far deenly determined to achieve the goals without sacrificing freedom. . The answer, Wilson feels, is that "the financial and managerial components of our free enterprise system must prove by deeds as well as words their full comprehension of their social responsibilities" ihey must "demonstrate, beyond be-yond the chance of successful challenge, that the public-spirited public-spirited people administering private enterprise inherently and actually excel the people comprising political organizations. organiza-tions. . . as instrumentalities for insuring an ever-increasing measure of economic freedom and security for all the people save the indolent all of the time." Wilson then accepts the challenge, sets forth a detailed plan for achieving the desired ends. An increasing number of men in his position are thinking along similar' lines. Perhaps the latter half of the 20th century is producing its own characteristic type of leader the industrial statesman. states-man. - i I.- I S O " I . rs. . ... ts. svi. . v Be not forgetful to entertain entertained angels unawares.

THE SLAYER AWAITS DEATH EDICT SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 7 (U.D Guadal Vaaqucz, 32, will be condemned con-demned to death next week for the murder last September of Juan Vargas, 33, a fellow railway worker. Vasquez was convicted of first degree murder last night by a Third district court that did not recommend leniency. Under Utah lav, it ' will be mandatory for Judgre M. J. Bronson to order capital punishment when Vasquez appears for sentence Feb. 15. Vasquez will have his choice Of being hanged or being shot by a firing squad. Only five of the 60 persons condemned to death in Utah territory or state have se lected the gallows-. The last nun executed in Utah was John'Deer- ing, shot at the slate prison on Oct. 31, 1938. Vargas died in a Salt Lake City hospital Sept. 2, 12 hours after he had been shot by Vargas at the climax of a quarrel that started start-ed in a tavern and ended on the sidewalk nearby. Defense attorneys contended Vasquez shot In self defense when Varga3 drew an ice pick. The state charged Vasquez showed premeditation in carrying a gun and asserted he emptied the pistol at Vargas after tne victim had fallen to the ground. The African secretary bird gets its name from the curious crest it wears, resembling a secretary with quills behind hi3 ears. UTOPIAN eon. by wt srvct. -!!)- With I Writers Kach week this column will feature the activities and achievements of the Provo Chapter of the League of Utah Writers. Last month the Salt Lake chapter of the Writers' League, won first place and a cash award for the best original skit produced at the annual Beaux Art balLJield at the Art Barn, in Salt Lake. This is the seventh successive year the writer's have won the coveted co-veted award. One very clever 'take-it-away' lit of the program was a quatrain written by Rosa! Lee Lloyd and presented by Mary-' hale Woolsey. It ran this way: ..; "Kathleen Norris wrote a book . A iioney .it appears; . , 1" ' She, wrote it up in different ways -.- . And lived on it for years.": Back of the cleverness and or- iginality of the lines is a bit of profound philosophy. Sort of , a 'you can't have your cake and eat it too', idea. Even the best of ideas wear out. In spite of the fact that writers' magazines are f ujl of articles on how to sell the same idea to different markets, which was the theme of Mr. Lid-dell's Lid-dell's talk at Leadership Week. Mr. Liddell and Ray McGuire have been doing that very thing successfuly for some time namely, name-ly, Utah's strategic defense set up, as the government apparently sees it, for the basis of numerous trade journal magazines. Using air bases etc. for each new angle. But eventually the idea becomes stale or an idea. Thereby hangs this tale. Prof, Quivey mentioned this danger in hi3 Leadership Week talk. Most of us were surprised, anda little shocked, to near him say that Scattergood Baines should have died a natural death long ago, instead of living on in putrid smugness. Who hasn't read Clarence Buddington Kelland's famous Scattergood stories? (rt just . occurred to me that I haven't read one for a long time, I hadn't figured out why). If it's equally true that there's no end to originality. Kathleen Norris has made her name, we who are still trying out for one, certainly have to pep up the imagination and eating one cake' makes a new one, better for the experience of the last. When you can write a sentence like those in the "picturesque speech" column you'll sell more than you can write. Because after you learn, to write that kind of sentence you know all the rest plot, structure,' etc. etc. Here's how they do it: , "Worry had autographed , her face." "She can dial him like a radio." "An ex-tinguished gentleman." "Afternoon snack: The pause that refleshes." It's been going on since Shakespeare. Shake-speare. Here's one of his "A February face, so full of frost, of storm, and cloudiness." What are you going to do about it? The Writer's Study Group met Thursday, Feb. 6, at the home of Ruby Anderson.

That's probably prob-ably as good a tip-off on Washington Wash-ington night life as any you could get. The town has, of course, been throueh two big j sprees for the inauguration in-auguration and ' the President's There s a natural Edson birthday ball, let down,, but even if there weren't it would still be possible for a tourist from the provinces or a business man here to get a war contract or a job to take in all of Washington's important high life in one night, not miss a trick and not see enough celebrities celeb-rities to count on his thumbs. Point is that Washington is strictly a private party town. You have to belong or be specially spe-cially invited to get into Chevy Chase, Army and Navy or any of the swank clubs. Aside from that, the height of entertainment seems to be to give or get given a dinner din-ner at home. It's perhaps the din-ncr-goingest town on earth, the entertainment being to talk or be talked at, for a purpose of perhapa sometimes for no good purpose. .

FORUM n Agin 'Em- Civic Clubs Fail To Help Reform Moves Editor Herald: The first refuge of the average businessman against radicalism is the claim of "liberty" to carry on private "cnterpris6." But how many businessmen do you observe contribute con-tribute to the preservation of the institutions to. which they render lip service ? Count up those in your town who show a public spirit beyond supporting the "drives" calculated to put more dollars in their tills! Try to interest any of the so-called so-called civic clubs in real problems prob-lems of government; in taxation theories; in Technocracy, Social Credit, money reform, foreign policies, etc., and watch them shy because of lack of understanding or expediency or just plain cowardice! cow-ardice! When Woodrow Wilson warned that the nation cannot endure if materialism is not vitalized with spiritual ' qualities, his remarks seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, Andrew Jackson warned America of the days we are experiencing now. "The bold effort of the present pres-ent bank (U. S.) has made to control the government, the distress dis-tress it has wantonly produced... are but premonitions, of . the fate which awaits America should it be deluded into perpetuating this institution or the establishment of another like it." Jackson's message Dec. 2, 1824. Lincoln also warned: "The money power will endeavor to prolong its reign until all wealth is aggregated in few hands, and the Republic is destroyed." de-stroyed."
