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.
