The State of the Nation
Whether th. present .(tuition (depression) 1. permanent or
temporary U besld. th. point.
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

NATURAL FOOD. 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.

not all of the food Is digested and
absorbed before the residue reaches
the colon. 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

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

of the party purge, now In progress,
Is to get rid of all antt-llberal ele
