Every bualnetaman who la not kidding himself know, that h. does not know how to guarantee, without gov.nim.nt Intervtntlon, th. markets with which .Ion. hi. fre, competitive ' capitalism can function. Every businessman who U not kidding himself know, that, If t.ft to Its own devices, business would sooner or later run head long Into another 130. And .vary businessman who Is not kidding himself ought to know that as long as these things are so, th. electorate will force government lntt hi. affair.. ' It 1. neither possible nor desirable for a democratic government to alt by while a third of Its citizens starve and almost as many more fear for their Jobs. Th. path ahead of American business Is Indeed a narrow path but It 1. perfectly clear. If th. principles of democracy and of private enterprise are to be preserved. It Is evident that private enterprise must admit Into Its affairs, as representative of the people, a government profoundly concerned with th. auocessful operation of the sconomlo aystem. It ahould in the future be the object of business not to obstruct government Intervention at any cost, but to ae. to It that the Intervening government Is enlightened In economic mattera. At this crucial point not only has business let the New Deal down but the New Deal haa let business down, and the result has been a number of profound economic errors. . . .... Whst Amertcsn business facea la, In fact, a far more social ized atate. Possibly It will be necessary for government to take certain Industries the railroads, for Instance, or the utilities out of th. competitive system entirely and set them up as completely regulated monopolies or even as stste-owned enter prises. THESE, HOWEVER, SHOULD BE THE EXCEPTIONS. With regard to other Industries In which the sutomatlc controls of the cspltallst system have broken down, government may perform the function of a clearing house for Information and aupplement the automatto controls with constructive (not punitive) legislation. In any event th. true function of busi ness Is not to obstruct but to make sure that vhe government Is kept enlightened and well Informed concerned the require ment, of successful prlvste enterprise. .There are, of course, two slternatlrea. If the present aystem Is allowed to work badly enough for long enough It Is con celvsble thst the people, seizing the economic power, will rise up agsinst the principle of capitalism and abolish It In favor of the public ownerahlp of all industry and finance. This would be a "solution" along the lines of communism, effected st the expense of private enterprise. Or again. If the aystem Is allowed to work badly enough for long enough, It la conceivable that th. people will tire, not of capitalism but of democracy Itself and will sccept the leadership of some powerful. person, who, by con trolling alike the Industrial forces snd the political forces, will be able to guarantee them a livelihood. This utter sacrifice of liberty for security would bo a "solution" slong tha lines of , fascism, as, for Instance, In Germany. ..-. , Between these two unpslatable extremea Ilea an - American -economy. It Is not an economy that any alngle man, any v bright economist, can now define. It Is not an economy that can be found by good luck, or by a single victory at the polls. On the contrsry, It can be established only by business working with government, snd government working with busi ness, towsrd a progressively higher standard of living derived from the incentives of private enterprise. It Is the only course open to business or government that doea not lead Inevitably Into the fallaclea of totalitarianism and atate collectivism. And If these two csnnot find It together, nobody else can. 'X'O the readers of this column the ubove undoubtedly has a familiar ring. It pretty well represents, at least, the political philosophy which the skipper of this column has been trying to expound, the past five or six years. It contains the nnBwer to the Herbert Hoover theory of anti-regimentation, non-federal interference and the return of rugged individualism. It contains the answer to the perennial Union League elub dream, that if one will only curse out President Roosevelt LOUDLY enough, and wait L0NQ enough somehow iit some way, those "good old days" will return. It also contains, the plea frequently made recently, in this de partment, that the great need today is a reapproachment be tween politics and business, between business and labor; that the warring factions in this country, stop their brawling and get together on a basis of constructive progress, cooperation and good will, for it is not only imperative to their welfare, but the welfare, perhaps to the every existence of the coun try that this be done. PINALLY the artielo. expresses, probably more clearly and effectively than we have been able to, the real reason why this paper, has, in spite of all the mistakes and shortcomings, supported and still supports, (as far as NATIONAL issues are concerned) President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Ever since the crash of '32, this column has seen this country faced by two outstanding dangers, communism on one "side, fascism on the other. It has regarded the only escape to be, the overhauling and reconstruction and modernization of the democratic machine, so it would WORK. And by "working" we have meant, and still mean, im proving and stabilizing the conditions, material and social, of the people, ALL the people of the United States. And it has been because we knew this to be Roosevelt's aim also, and know it is STILL his aim, that we have, and still do, support him. ... SO much for that phase of the matter. But even more interesting to us, is the source of the above article. We wonder how many of our readers, could ever guess it. Not many we wager. ' For the fact that such an article, could be printed where it was printed, brings into startling relief, the most significant feature of the entire Roosevelt administration, and very likely its sole LASTING accomplishment from an historical stand point, The transformation of this country from a socially uncon scious (or socially liumtereiu; country, to a socianv CONSCIOUS one I For the above article is not a pro-Roosevelt or New Deal product, it is not even a Liberal product, politically speaking, it is taken from the most plutocratic, economic-royalistic, materinlistic rcalistio periodical published in the country today. none other than "Fortune" which sells for one dollar a copy, and circulates exclusively among the favored few of the upper brackets. Unfortunately space does not entire article but the above is a fair summary of it. and we believe, coming from the source it does, it will remove any doubt from the mind of any fair-minded person, that this countrv has at last become socially conscious, and that those socallcd "good old days," of rugged individualism, government indifference, deg-eat-dog and the devil take the hindmost.

AND SOUND DIOESTION The other day we told how sour milk, buttermilk, curdled milk, clab bered milk, fermented milk, Bulga rian cultured milk, acidophilus milk, or Just plain milk, helps to maintain a nor- Trt AMsiXti mal condition In ly, It 1 because milk, fresh or sour, Is the nat ural carrier of lactic bacilli which are the natural ferment ers of starch and sugars, the for mantatlon changing starch or sugar Into carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas), , water, lactic acid, etc. . It Is not to be forgotten that fer mentation of starch, dextrin, dex trose, glucose, levulose (fruit sugar), maltose, lactose (milk sugar), sucrose (cane or beet sugar) is a normal proccM In the Intestine and that the normal products of fermentation in clude lactic acid and carbonic actd gas. Hence the presenoe of more or less gas la not to be regarded as a symptom of any "Indigestion." The gases produced by fermentation serve to stimulate and mechanically aid other processes of digestion. It Is fairly well known that a moderately acid state In the colon Is concomitant to health. The essen tial purpose of buttermilk, sour milk, fermented or cultured milk In the diet Is to maintain vigorous growth of the lactic acid bacilli naturally present In milk or soured milk In the colon; tho acid produced when lactic bacilli act upon starch or sugars In the fermentation process discourages or prevents active growth and activity of colon bacillus and other potential producers of disease. This wholesome culture of lactic bacilli in the Intestine Is. In my opin ion, virtually ns well maintained by drinking plain fresh sweet raw milk or plain raw skimmed milk (In either case certified milk, or the next purest grade, grade A raw milk from tuber culin tested herd) a It Is by drinking buttermilk, sour milk, Bulgarian mils or Acidophilus milk, If one prefers plain fresh milk or plain sklm milk. Plenty of Lactic bacilli present In milk. If they are not killed off by boiling, scalding or par-bolllng (pas teurizing). Of course they Increase enormously In numbers If the milk Is allowed to sour.

The illegal drinking rendez vous, the up -stairs, fostered this cas ualnes, and that Is why strangers in New York were able to spend a few convivial hours with people to whom they had Just been Introduced and separate with the warmth of old friend. Although five years have gone by the boards alnce repeal, this attitude still persists. In New York the clo thes do make the man, and unless you have a personal grudge against a party outside the law you seldom give hts reputation a second thought.

Bo, unless milk or some milk product constitutes a part of the dally diet, constantly replenishing the lactic bacillus growth In the colon, the putrefactive activities In the colon may gain the ascendancy and create an environment favorable for disease. For this reason It Is a good health habit, In my opinion, to eat some RAW starchy food daily Raw starch takes longer to digest than cooked starch (cooking partly converts starch Into more soluble dex trin toast or browned crust, browned potato, etc.) and some of It Is more likely to reach the colon unchanged Good ways to do this are by chewing some plain wheat, eating raw potato or other raw vegetable, even eating plain raw corn starch or laundry starch (not the gloss starch).

THE purpose of the proposed re allocation, of course, waa to en able the President to shift tho pump -priming billions around In such away as to DEFEAT Democrats who have voted against his various schemes, such as court packing atid dictatorial reorganization of the gov ernment.

Gillette's refusal to yield to such a strange third degree may seem a trivial reason for hla message. But the members of the presidential gen eral staff now serving as execution ers have on Interesting explanation. They say that the president Is the only symbol of liberalism within the Oemucratlc party. Since the purpose of the party purge, now In progress, Is to get rid of all antt-llberal ele ments, some test of liberalism must be set up. And, as the president Is the only symbol of Democratic lib eralism, willingness to go down the line with ' the president Is the only possible test.
