He added that "if the country desires to make wealth creation a function of the government, the choice should be the considered choice of the country, and not the result of a policy of drift." With that latter statement we can all agree the change, if made, should be the considered choice of the country. Yet Mr. Roosevelt would drift toward that fundamental change as an escape from the mess into which his financial policies has embroiled the country.

'If. therefore, wealth is to be created by creation of government debt," Mr. Berks continues, "THE SCOPE OF GOVERNMENT ENTERPRISE MUST BE LARGELY INCREASED. BRIEFLY. THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO ENTER INTO THE DIRECT FINANCING OF ACTIVITIES NOW SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE; AND A CONTINUANCE OF THAT DIRECT FINANCING MUST BE INEVITABLY THAT THE GOVERNMENT ULTIMATELY WILL CONTROL AND OWN THESE ACTIVITIES.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP "Put differently, if the government undertakes to create wealth by using its own credit at the rate of four billion or so a year, and if its work is well done, the government will be acquiring direct productive mechanisms at the rate of four billions' worth a year, or thereabouts. Over a period of years, the government will gradually come TO OWN MOST OF THE PRODUCTIVE PLANTS OF THE UNITED STATES." Mr. Berle is too intelligent not to know that this is socialism and he gave expression to that thought by hastening to say he was not advocating socialism. He frankly admitted that the process he had outlined would constitute "so fundamental a change in the course of American life that the decision to make it should be rwwff. 11 But the country, nevertheless, will make the choice, for in Mr.

Roose velt's action and Mr. Berlc's state ment you probably have the ele ments of the foremost issue in next year's presidential campaign the survival of private enterprise in America. FALL FROM HAYLOFT FATAL FOR FARMER Marshfii ld, Wis. UP) Heroic efforts of firemen and volunteers to snatch Edward W'unrow from death failed late yesterday afternoon. The 37-year-old farmer died at 4:30 p.

m. For 20 hours, rescue workers administered artificial respiration to keep Wunrow alive. Beginning at 8 o'clock Wednesday night, they worked in shifts of two, pressing on his chest to deflate his lungs. The farmer's heart, weakening steadily, finally failed. W'unrow fell from the hayloft Today's 21-passenger airliner, Just 20 years ago July 1, 1919 a rebuilt, single-motored DeHavil-land war plane took off from Grant park, Chicago, to make the first flight of the Chicago-Cleveland-New York airmail route.

The flight took nine hours. Today, 20 years later. 21-passenger, 12-ton Main-liners make the flight in half the scheduled time of the original run. The Chicago-New York run is rated as the world's busiest air route. LOOKING FORWARD (By FKANKLYN WALT MAN Publicity Director Kepubliian National Committee) SAVE 530!

J. UP) Twelve newspaper men, photographers, newsreel men and radio newscasters will be awarded gold plaques by the National Head-liners' club here July 15 for outstanding work in their respective fields during the past year. Arthur Robb, editor of "Editor Publisher" magazine and chairman of the club's committee on awards, said Frank L. Toughhill of The Philadelphia Record would receive the plaque for "the best exclusive reporting in the domestic field." Robb said Tough-hill won the award with his reporting of the "murder for insurance" ring's activities in Philadelphia. The award for "the best exclusive news reporting in the foreign field" was given to Reynolds Packard of the United Press for his work during the Czechoslovakian crisis last September.

The medal for "the best news picture" was awarded to Howard Jones, formerly of The Knoxville Journal, for a picture taken while his subject, a politician, fired a revolver at him. TO SPECIAL WRITERS Damon Runyon was given an award for his "consistently outstanding work as a writer of feature stories," and Heywood Broun for "the consistently high literary quality of his column." John Knott of The Dallas News will be cited for his "outstanding work as a cartoonist." Jack Knell of radio station WEEI, Boston, will receive an award for his eyewitness account of the rescue of survivors from the submarine Squalus. gold plaque will go to The New York World-Telegram for its expose of former Federal Judge Martin T. Manton's financial affairs, which, the award committee said, "resulted in his arrest and conviction." The New York Journal-American also will receive a plaque for having enacted by the New York legislature a new lunacy law. POSTHUMOUS AWARD A posthumous award will be given the late Marlen E.

Pew for "his distinguished service to the American newspaper profession." Pew was editor of "Editor Publisher" for 13 years. For his newreel shots of the bombing and capture of Canton, China, the award for "the best newsreel in the foreign field" went to A. T. Hull of Pathe News.

Berle on that occasion contended that creation of wealth means creation of debt and that "in a national economy it does not make a great deal of difference, from the strict finance and monetary point of view, whether the debt is that of a corporation or that of the United States, of a state or of a municipality; provided the expenditure actually creates wealth." So Mr. Berle would have the government go into debt to create wealth. So would Mr. Roosevelt. But Mr.

Berle goes on and this is the crux of the thing "the wealth-creating power of the government is relatively limited" and he adds that the building of roads, parks, public buildings, public Must Sell Reconditioned One Table Radio $2.50 $7.65 $8.25 $6.95 $7.35 One Console Radio One Console Radio One Console Radio One Console Radio Also Rebuilt WASHERS One ST. $17.50 Wash One 1900 Washer $14.50 One Apex (90 nr ier tPt).

His current proposal to lend 860,000,000 for various and quite dubious "self-liquidating" projects is subject to all the criticisms made against previous spending programs. The chief of these criticisms is the simple one, now am ply demonstrated, that such pump- priming undertakings will not bring about a sound and permanent economic recovery.

The fact we still have 11,000,000 unemployed is evidence of that fact. Likewise, this present spending program will add to the present and future tax load of the country, which even now is bearing down heavily on everyone. The New Deal apparently realizes that the country has become aroused over the astronomical national debt and the pinch of taxes, for the current plan is framed to evade the budget act and the statutory limitation -on the national debt by undertaking to carry on this operation outside of the budget. F. D.

R. PLANS SOCIALISM Far more serious, however, are the implications inherent in the president's latest spending program. For the first time Mr. Roosevelt publicly proposes, in effect, to substitute state socialism for the traditional American system of free enterprise. Such a contention should not be made lightly and it is not made lightly here.

It is made only after the most careful consideration of Mr. Roosevelt's plan and its implications against the background of the statements made by the New Dealers primarily responsible for this latest spending program. Let us demonstrate the social istic nature of what Mr. Roosevelt proposes: In the letter to New Deal leaders outlining the plan, Mr. Roosevelt said his new program would be confined to "self-liquidating" projects.

Then he said that "there seems no reason why there should not be adopted as a PERMANENT POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT the development and maintenance of a revolving fund fed from the earnings of these government investments and used to finance new projects at times where there is need of extra stimulus to employment." WHAT, NO EMERGENCY? In projecting this plan Mr. Roosevelt does not plead an "emergency," as he so often has done He says that the "investment" of federal funds for "self-liquidating" projects should be made a "PER MANENT POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT." So, on the face of Mr. Roosevelt's letter this is a new policy. What are its implications? Turning again to the record, let's read what Assistant Secretary of State Adolf A. Berle, one of the foremost of the New Deal "brain trust" had to say recently to the 14 gjtgle Sager IT IS FAMOUS FOR ITS i EHortS FLAVOR Kravstned interesting, picturesque booklet "Old World Inni."
