We have been reminded of this time-nonorea
wheeze by being the recipient of several copies of
the Wall Street Journal ' 4 4., - ... .,
It seems only yesterday that this financial daily
paper was positively apoplectic over the threat of
public ownership in the utility field.
The particular cause of this perturbation then, was
the Tennessee Valley Authority an attempt by a
pack of "Killowatt Bolsheviks' headed by Senator
Norris of Nebraska, to destroy all private business
in this country and hand everything over to "Parlor
Pinks and the Bomb-Toting Anarchists."
But now listen to this the comment of the same
journal on the recent proposal for a Missouri Valley
Authority:
"President Roosevelt's proposal for TVAs to every
Important watershed in the country Has a certain logical
foundation no doubt about that. If TVA has been a good
thing for the Tennessee river region it should be a good
thing for every other river region?'

that can't be done the clock of social and industrial
progress can't be turned backAnd it is also hopeful
that in this country at least a middle road between
the extreme right and the extreme left can be attain
ed.' .
In other words probably
believes that along witn the development of public
oower nroiects. some private power companies, if
properly conducted with some sense of social respon
sibility, can also continue to operate and at a rea
sonable profit.
In other words it foresees a compromise whereby
a modified private profit system can endure working
with, rather than against a. system of controlled pub
lic ownership. - .

A Brand New Idea
In the above direction it is interesting to note the
progressiveand scholarly
agrees with the wall street
And that brethren is NEWS I , , -
When the Messiah of Wall Street sees eye to eye
with the Apostle of the "Economy of Abundance" or
vica versa, the man who bit the dog has nothing on
either. '. - ' -. :
i t -
THIS new doctrine is advanced in Chase's recent
book, "Democracy Under Pressure: Special In-teresto-vs
the Public Welfare," and like all of Chase's
books is readable, stimulating and instructive.'
The big test, he thinks,
ends. -
There will then be tremendous stresses here to
ward totalitarianism : one
fascist, either one according to the author fatal to
the America we all hold dear.- '-,. .
AS THE Wall Street Journal believes there is a
. middle road avoiding both Extremes, so does
Stuart Chase. But in order to reach it the American
people must rise on their hind-legs and crush the
pressure groups ALL pressure groups labor, capi
tal, agriculture or what have you.
Listen to this, from a young Liberal who has fought
for labor and the underdog, and against Privelege
and Big Business all his life : '
"If I were a labor leader today I would tread very gently.
, I would not tight for feather-beds or special privilege, or try
to double-rivet any monopolies I might havo. I would retire
Jamej Caesar Petrlllo in jig-time to the kettle-drums or
whatever he came from. I would, however, fight until I
dropped, for decent working conditions, for health and
safety measures, and especially for a national plan for full
employment after the war." -
Yes the Labor Pressure Group must be disciplined,
as all America must be disciplined away from the idea
of greed and grab, to a new gospel of give and let
live. And what is true of labor, is true of capital and
Big Business of agriculture and the Grange.
IN THIS part of the discussion Chase returns to his
"Economy of Abundance," declaring that that
doctrine "makes the class struggle as old-fashioned
as a high-wheeled bicycle."
But if these pressure groups continue in their, mad
rush for selfish benefits, no such economy can evei
be attained.
1X7E Believe here is something very important and
" very significant the virtual agreement of
Wall Street on one hand, and America's foremost
crusader for "a better life for ALL," on the other.
When two such, conflicting ideological types acree
on what SHOULD be done m this country after the
war. there must be something in the proposal worthy
or the most careful consideration.
e e e
A MERICA, in Stuart Chase's opinion, is the one
V great nation which will emerge from this war,
with conditions favorable for maintaining a great
area or what is popularly known as free enterprise
and confining what is. known as public ownership
and operation to a "few key points."
Such a system will give what he calls a balanced
economy, which will retain the conception of public
service, without destroying the profit motive.
But it will be no easy job. '
Like most things worth-while, it will not be handed
to the American people on a silver platter. They will
have to fight and fight hard for it I

day to find them smoothed over.
The Japs have taken almost
everything underground," said
Liberator Commander Col. Law

quarter of the production year
(July, August and September),
production of new machinery,
exclusive of wheel tractors, re

about 25 per cent behind sched

manpower shortages and the
dififculty in obtaining compon

Scheduled production would'
furnish farmers with about the
same amount of new machinery
and attachments as they had in
the 1944 crop year and nearly

The Polish government in exile

the Soviet Union today by list
ing 14 allegedly unfriendly Rus

the past five years.
In the new issue of "Polish

"During the past five years
the Kremlin did all to discour
age the sincere adherents of Po
lish Soviet cooperation," It said.
"There exists a glaring contra
diction between Soviet demands
for a 'friendly Polish govern

liness of Russia toward Poland."
The 14 "unfriendly" acts
charged to- Russia included:
Unprovoked occupation of
eastern Poland In 1939;" par
ticipation of Poland between
Russia and Germany by the
