BY A. A. BERLE. SHIFT- and Being knowing no politician no secret gossip I can only write about United States economics with an envious vision of Paul having a good time in, the avocas. Anyone can see that some big shift has happened in these United States.

Students know that the 'same shift has happened everywhere else in the western world. We changed from farms and small shops into big cities and huge industries. Look at the main street of your town or the sky line of your city; then think what it looked like 20 years ago. You have the answer. We shifted in few years from individual business into national industry.

Nearly one-sixth of the country changed in eight years from 1922 to 1930. MONEY- It takes 000 money on heavy construction to keep this new nationally organized industrial system going. The money builds houses, roads, bridges, power plants. Stop this a and trouble begins in the Pittsburg steel district, spreads Michigan, Illinois and West Virginia; comes out in spots' elsewhere.

government SERIOUS- spending does mean that you have some serious thinking to do. First, your local government has become times more important. Much of the heavy work of the country has to be done by towns and. counties and cities. This is a strictly local job.

There is more opportunity for a first-rate career in local government today than in any other field. I know. La Guardia proved it in. New If the local are good enough we can avoid the danger of a Washington octopus; and Washington. as I have reason to know.
