AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE WILL WIN A more or less prominent in a radical magazine of the dead as a door nail" and asserts America can ao one oi just two things turn to Fascism or go Communist. Taking what .has happened in Europe as a guide, it must be admitted that this radical viewpoint would have much to sustain it. In Russia, in Italy and in Germany the old type of unrestricted capitalism collapsed, and each country in: turn' had to choose between Lenin's kind of society and Mussolini's. But why take it for granted that the same thing must happen over here? It hasn't yet been proved that there is no other alternative. it certainly has not leen proved that finding such an alter native is too big1 a task for American intelligence. It is cer tain thai not one American in a hundred really wants to see either Communism or Fascism adopted here. Isn't it more likely that the new spirit in this land is too big and too strong to be contained by the old formulas that our great contribution to modern life may well be to find a solution for industrialism's problems without des potism, without oppression andwithout a revolution? For years this nation has proceeded on the idea that, in vestment bankers were honest; that they would not betray the' confidence of their patrons; that they would not use the resources of depositors to gouge the public for their own personal gain. The record shows that they did these very things; that they violated every confidence, and that they Utilized every trick to evade income tax payments on their loot. Executives Of CL E.
