By JOHN LEAY NEW YORK, July t-iJPf-k. sug gestion that businessmen should actively enter politics to break the - current impasse between govern ment and business was pabllahed today in Don's Review, a mega rine edited b yDr. Willard U Thorp, a right hand man to "US Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins, f. I :. . - .J; :,,.t ':;v "11 we are to improve . . . the relationship between business and government," the lead article ot the magazine said, "we must state our case, not to the politicians, but to the roters." i The proposal was made by a businessman who tried it R. W. Johnson, 'Chairman of the board of the Johnson and Johnson, com pany. He served six years as council man and mayor of the city of New Brunswick, NJ, and came away conrineed that; . 1. Although politicians often are "not good businessmen, theq "as a I gronp . . .. know more about business than businessmen as a group know about politics." and 2. "If we are to learn about politics as we hope the' politicians learn about business we cannot erade political participation." No Short Cat ' ; There Is "no short-cut substi tute" for the experience, Johnson observed, .and it must be active and direct. 'Not by reading the newspa pers, not even by casual personal contact, can we learn how an office-holding mind works; and not until we learn how such a mind works can we hope to enlighten it. "In the political textbook, les son No. 1 is this: Follow the crowd. In his years, of practice, the politician learns how to guage public sentiment and how to an ticipate in what . direction the crowd's mind will move next. . "In that fact, I believe, lies the key to our solution." j Because business .has not. "fol lowed the crowd," he said, the crowd has become "unfriendly to business" and government con trols have resulted through the crowd's political - action. He con , tinned: . . ' We have gon a long way down the road toward socialism. Oar tax structure t. it exists to day has Inhibited '.en limited in dividual enterprise. Let us all nnderstand that this untoward development is but a political ex pression of, the gradual harden ing of public opinion adverse to business.. "Let businessmen throughout America ' spend enough time In direct political life t gain a realistic, up-to-date understand ing ot what political : life really Is. . . .. Let ' business bring its problems before the people, and If the presentation is honest and reasonable, -1 hare little doubt that the people will find prirate enterprise worthy of support."

MT! Linn County Gets Power Spotlight (Continued from page 1) with the marketing of "agricul tural or other products," the court used the qualifying words direct or positive interposition" and indicates that the section does not apply to picketing or boycotting. The effect is to limit the interference prohibited, es sentially to violent interference, as proponents of the picketing law claimed. There has been some puzzle ment and some criticism over Gov ernor Sprague's clean sweep of the liquor commission, along with some unwarranted inference that it was a reflection on the old commission, on the one hand, and some inference on the other that it was based upon intention to "clean house' for patronage pur poses. Statehouse circles have fi nally gotten the first point cleared up the second will be a matter for subsequent demonstration. The facts seem to be that the governor, forced to make a change in - the first district because of Chairman Arthur K. McMahan's resignation, decided to , appoint J. N. Chambers of Salem., But Chambers was a democrat and to obtain a republican majority. It was necessary to make a change in the second district The gover nor also wanted the third district member to be chairman. These considerations, together with a desire to have the entire commis sion composed of men whose ca pacity and Integrity was thorough ly known to himself, dictated a clean sweep. Thats the whole story, aside from a possible change in policy, in the opposite direction from pro motion of liquor sales to obtain relief funds and in the direction of temperance a possibility that has some of the liquor interests on the anxious seat. One revela tion is that the new commission will broadcast a rule among the personnel that no gifts of liquor are to be accepted. It isnt of much direct interest In this inland area, but the shake- up In the pilot board was a funda mental one. On the new board appears Captain Frank M. Ring. who has had a federal license as a pilot but was long denied a state license. The purpose obviously is to break up, so far as is consistent with an insistence upon competen cy, the monopoly on pilots licenses heretofore held by the existing pilots' associations one of the tightest little monopolies ever maintained with a state's official approval.

Follows Recent Changs It followed his charge, made both in a magazine article and a' nation-wide broadcast, thai his White House successor was plead ing the nation toward involvement in war. It followed also a recent statement by Uawrence Richey in Washington as secretary to the former president contrasting Roosevelt and Hoover administra tion budgets and intended to show that Hoover would have left be hind him a balanced national bud- j get Instead of a deficit in 1933, despit the depression, if tax, rates ot the Roosevelt administration had prevailed during his. four White House years. The most recent word as to Hoover's attitude toward the re publican nomination In 1940 came in connection with his address to a conference of Indiana republican editors last May. The conference was called to organize a united party front against the new deal for next year. Despite the "off the record" character of that gather ing, it was reported 'that Hoover made it clear that he was neither seeking a third nomination for himself nor endeavoring to 'influ ence the party decision in favor of any one else. Hoover "Available' j With a few exceptions that la the avowed attitude of nearly all reputed aspirants of both parties for 1940 presidential consldera tion. Consequently, Hoover must be counted as "available" unless he makes some further statement taking himself completely out ot the contest. .; In the light of the succession of European crises ' and the struggle over revision of the neu trality law; it s clear that ex ternal rather thfcn domestic pol icy making is likely to be the major inter-party issue of 1940. Hence more than ordinary po litical attention has been drawn to Hoover's charges that (Presi dent Roosevelt w a n t s to play "world power politics" and his other criticisms of administration foreign policy..
