Show Th3 Good Old Days The promin ..it Chicago lawyer, Silas H. Strawn, Is worried about a hat h- ciii-j the experiments" of the; n,-.a.mu.l. rii chlnki tne -ilturci in the ciioit to tapTOve tne- napplness cf mankind are slowing slow-ing down busings and preventing a return to "true normalcy." "I am convinced," he says, "that if we had carri'd on in a way which has always been consistent with our hi tery and had applied ourselves persi tently and courageously to working out cf the depression, we wouldd new ba well on the way to a normal condition." That is the veiwpcint of conservative business and Mr. St: awn. a form'r president cf thei U. S. Chamb'r of Commerce, is well Qualified to speak for it. Mr. Strawn .'-ays "the condition of all our peepla is b'tter titan that of eny other country," which, of course, is a great h -lp to a man out cf a job and a family in need on his hands, but Mr. Strawn admits that the condition con-dition of our people "is not what wa would wish it to be." That's what "experiment i" are trying to do, make the conditio.! better. Then Mr. Slr.i.wn proceeds. He ;((. s evidence of pr-et .per ty and believes be-lieves "if our business men and industrialists in-dustrialists were let alone they would iVJfc only wcrfe out their own d'eeitiny, but they would cstabli h more freenidly and cooperative relations with labor." The lndui itrialists have always looked cut for their own destiny des-tiny that's what caused the 1929 crash, thi y were too eedfith and greedy in pursuing that particular aim. There are others who agree with Mr. Strawn. They think government govern-ment should! let thii big financiers and indiL tnallsts run the country their way, regardtern of social in-lusticB. in-lusticB. want and distress. These peopla oppose: government interference, interfer-ence, although they wapd govern-mi'mt govern-mi'mt aid in many ways, whenever govea-nnent mb rference is directel towards the benefit of the great neaei , people. If the people of thii nation have any flense at all, they are opposed to r' turning th-- mir&gement of Its ro'm,omic affajrs ovr to th sPms class of magnate who piloted it to the 1929 -maah. They want thr? government gov-ernment to profit by th," experiance of th? pact f'vr-; or six years, to regu-latle, regu-latle, supervise, and control, as far as necee sary, to eliminate the abuses rf the paet and prev'nt another similiar catastrophe in the future. |
