WASHINGTON, April ft. Just be
cause you have not heard of the
brain trusters lately Is no sign they
have stopped
thinking.
They have
4 merely pulled the
shade on their
minds.
Almost dally
they assemble in
small groups tor
luncheons a t
clubs where pri
vacy Is assured,
and also at cock
tall parties and
dinners around at
Paul Mallon their homes.
Ia these exclusive confabs lately a
new economic policy has been gener
ated. You will probsbly not hear
about It for a while yet, perhaps not
until after election. One reason Is
that It is very, very secret. These
remaining brain trusters live In a
rarlfled atmosphere of thought which
Is rarely penterated by polltlcos or
newsmen and seldom by the top gov
ernment officials. The ordinary herd
here is not only socially but men
tally Inferior. As everyone knows,
professional thinkers are the only
disciples of true thought. Many are
hired by endowed Institutions and
even, political ones to advocate cer
tain lines of thought, for good fixed
prices, but even these decline to de
part from their background aura of
exclusive mental reRpetability. Money
does not tilt their haloes.
Also they speak a superior lan
guage, which Is not understood by
laymen, and perhaps not always by
themselves. , ...
AU this guarantees privacy, which
even the president himself Is fre
quently not permitted to lnvsde un
til the time for seeking his help Is
thought to have arrived.
Brain trusters have another advan
tage over ordinary government offi
cials. They can change their eco
nomic philosophies In a minute,
without consequences and without
Renting their eternal rectitude. What
ever position they hold last Is al
ways the right one.
It may bowl you over when you
near it, but the right one currently
Is the theory of co -opera five market
Jug. This may sound vaguely like
a Coolldgeism, but it is far from
that. The idea, as Inadequately un
derstood by the few outsiders who
have been able to penetrate the In
ner circle. Is that co-operative mar
keting should be applied to Industry
as well as farming.
That is, the co-operative market
