A BOLT nil that can be said with
certainty of the President's
message to congress, delivered on
Monday, is that it is mother an
olive branch to business nor a new
declaration of war on business.
IT contains hopeful admissions.
For example, lie says: "A gov
ernment can punish specific acts
of spoliation, but no government
can CON SCRIPT CO-OPERA-TION."
In Roosevelt's mind, when be
wrote that, must have been the
thought that five yeans of un
limiled experimenting liave proved
that in America at least govern
ment can't successfully RUN
EVERYTHING.
If that thought WAS in
mind, it is a hopeful sign.
