Speaking of his attitude toward the nation's business as a whole, Mr. Roosevelt declared: The overwhelming majority of business men and bankers intend to be good citizens. Only a small minority have displaced poor citizenship by engaging in practices which are dishonest or definitely harmful to society. This statement is straightforward and true. No person in any responsible place in the government of the United States has ever taken any position contrary to it" Mr. Roosevelt declared that when attention was called 1 specific misuses of capital there has been a deliberate purpose on the part of the condemned minority to distort the criticism into an attack on all capital. That Is a willful deception but it does not long deceive."

Swedenborg began his study of the mind and Its relation to the body by thorough research in physiology, and In these studies was the first to arrive at certain modern conceptions of tha functions and activity of the brain and the nervous system. This physiological approach Is now taken ns a matter of course by modern psychologists, who study exhaustively the mechanisms ot mental life and the machinery which underlies our thinking. Swedenborg, with his training as a philosopher, was not satisfied to atop at this point, but carried his Investigations into the nature of mind or spirit in its relation to the body. He came to regard the body as the region In which mind or spirit functioned. In his earlier work he wrote of the actions of the body in their effect on states of mind; one volume he published treated of. the Interaction of various states of mind. Freud and other modem psychologists have developed similar views to Swedanbarg's, that the mind is made up of different forces and Impulses and functions on different levels of consciousness; Swedenborg held the view 200 years ago that the mind functions on different planes and that we are usually unconscious of most of its activities. He held that the practical problem of life for each General motors off the New Year by reducing its working force by approximately 30,000 in its various plants in the United The bad States. news was announced by President William S.

Tha aoul'a" salvation or mental health depends on a practical life of usefulness in the natural world, with acknowledgment of a divine power which is greater than the individual and operates through him for good. According to Swedenborg, the earlier Christian Ideal of withdrawal film the world and complete was psychologically unsound.
