They are industrialists and men of business who want to do something to sell the people of America on the free enterprise system. They invite speakers to tell them of the advantages of that system, but none of the rabid socialistic element are ever present.

CAPITALISM WILL PREVAIL IN EUROPE FOR THE SOVIET government at Moscow to say to the other soviet states of the Russian republic that each of the 16 can maintain us owa army, conduct its own foreign affairs and ip general run its own affairs if it wishes to do so, sounds much broader than is actually the fact. It is much like the government at Washington saying to such states as Rhode Island, Delaware Vermont or Nevada: "You can play by yourself if you wish." Of the 16 soviet states only one, Russia, is of any size. The other 15 are but dots on the map, practically helpless as As a independent governments. commonwealth of nations Russia will more easily absorb, as auton- i , r el GOVERNMENT BY VETO IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THE PAST several years congress has lavishly passed on to the executive departments of the government the legislative authority and responsibility of congress. That has made possible the government by decree we have today. So long as the President can control as much d as of the votes of either the house or the senate he can retain, if he wishes, the powers congress has given him. With the constitutional authority to veto in the hands of the President the probability of repeal of any law passing legislative authority to the executive branch is small. So long as the one-thir- President has at his command large sums appropriated without being for a specified purpose congress cannot nullify his actions by refusal to appropriate. That is the case in the matter of food subsidies. The situation was created by congress. It makes government by veto possible. GRADE LABELING AND ADVERTISING I AM TOLD that in Puerto Rico only graded, and not branded, merchandise can be offered for sale. Canned fruits or vegetables, for example, are sold as grade A, B or C, not as Smith, Brown or Jones. That is the system advocated for all America by the present governor general of Puerto Rico, Rexford Tugwell, when he was assistant secretary of agriculture. Tugwell is opposed to advertising which he has pronounced "an economic waste." The substitution of grades instead of brands would remove all elements of competition and there would be nothing to advertise. Possibly he is using Puerto Rico as a guinea pig on which to test his theory. SECRETARY OF LABOR PERKINS said in a letter to Philip Murray of CIO that labor had been 99.32 per cent efficient in the war effort. That statement will not satisfy men of the armed forces or the American people at home. They will doubt the mathematics, if not the veracity of Madame Perkins. , quency-modulati- high-power- half-millio- n FROM NO CLASS do women re- ceive more marked respect than the soldiers who have served on the battle fronts. Surrounded, as they are, by the brutalities of war, women, to them, represent home, the patter of little children, affection, civilization, those things they are fighting to preserve. THERE IS A CEILING on what the citrus grower can get for his fruit but no ceiling on what the consumer is to pay. What a harvest for the middle man. |
