At any rate, we go on down the line and find all our existing labor unions put on the. scrap heap, to be replaced by huge vertical organizations, or guilds. AH the workers in the steel industry are grouped in another, land so on. And these unions are not like any )&hor unions we previously have known. They cannot call strikes. They are not independent. . And in politics? There is only one party the Democrats. It is a rubber skimp for the president and his advisers. Its members never dissent from the policies.of the inner circle. They are disciplined perfectly. Republicans, if they open their mouths, are sent to the new prison on Alcatraz Island. 1 Newspaper editors submit their editorials to Jim Farley for correction.

It would be pretty hard to think of a more topsy-turvy ar rangement, ay imagining what life in such a castiron straitjacket would be like, we can get a new conception of the supreme importance of bringing our democratic institu tions through the present trying times intact.

' SUPPOSE WE TRIED MUSSOLINI'S PLANl J j Every now and then in these times when all are seekjng ; and attempting to decipher some improved form of balance to quicken the pulse of our new recovery, we hear the re mark "What this country needs is a real dictator we need a Mussolini." True, whatever may be said about Mussolini's scheme for the government of Italy, it is at least one of the most 'in teresting departures from orthodox political practice.. ever attempted. It might even be admitted that in its start it had done some good things for the country in which its plan of government is being operated, but To understand what it would mean to transfer such a policy of government into this countiy, let us make an im aginative transfer of the whole business to the United States.J Pretend that Franklin Roosevelt is Mussolini, and that the Fascist scheme replaces the present set-up over here. What happens? Congress, to begin with, is permitted to die of malnutri tion. It is suffered to exist for a few years longer as a sort of vermiform -appendix, but its functions are gone, n its place irises a Council of Corporations.

There will bo several measures be fore the coming session which will require his presence on capital hill. High government officials In the past havo had dllff icult ' times on such visits. Ono cabinet member not so long ago became so Incensed at the treatment he received that he stalked out of the committee room angrily. Another became so upset that tears welled up in his eyes. If there Is any effort at sharp shooting at the "brain trust" through Myers this winter, It will be done In all probability very care fully. The 42-ycar-old official Is youthful In appearance and of the studious type. Ho appears cool and collected at all times, able to "give and tako" with the best of them.

Introducing a magician at last night's Thanksgiving party on the Warm Springs foundation, the presi dent remarked he probably "knows some of the things we are never able to solve" and suggested "perhaps he wlU put on something about the gold standard.
