Economic Highlights A little less than four years ago, when President-to-be Roosevelt war campaigning for the highest office in the land, the majority of business men were for his oppon ent, Incumbent Herbert Hoover. But a good-sized minority was for the ex-Governor of New York, and in that minority were some of the most fanjed names in U. S. indus try—Rnskob, DuPont, Yorng and many others. These men not only endorsed the Roosevelt candidacy —they contributed handsomely to the democratic campaign fund when money was badly needed. The governor of New York be came the President of the United States. And even the majority of busines men, who had marked their X on the ballot opposite the name of Hoover, were not worried. They thought the democratic platform was sound; they liked some of the new President’s campaign speeches. Even as the President enjoyed a long “honeymoon” with Congress, so did he enjoy a honeymoon with industry. The business honeymoon, how ever, was of short duration, Mr, Roosevelt had not been in office many months before it became ob vious that he was gradually losing much of the support he had receiv ed from executives. Some of these men had been appointed to import ant positions within the govern ment—notably in the Treasury and Commerce departments, and in emergency agencies, such as the NRA. One by one they resigned, because they could not agree with Administration policies. Other men, who never held government positions, but had more or less ap proved Presidential ideas, gradually became outspoken in criticism. Result of the three and a quarter years of Roosevelt stewardship is an almost 100 per cent cleavage between the Administration and industry. There are two principal organ izations of American business ex ecutives. One is the National As sociation of Manufacturers, made up, for the most part, of officers of very large corporations. Betterd very large corporations. Better sentative of the rank and file of industrial officers, is the United States Chamber of Commer.'e, Each year the Chamber holds a well publicized convention, and it used to be the custom for the President of the United States to either ad dress it in person or send a mess age. In 1933, President Roosevelt appeared before the body, was 'given a handsome reception. In 1934, he wrote a note. In 1935 he did, neither, though he did take a “crAdj." at the Chamber in a press conference. This year, he ignored the Chamber entirely—but the Chamber did not ignore him. Speaker after speaker rose to denounce Administration policies. Under attack were the growing tax burden; what Chamber delegates regarded as an unwarranted in vasion of private rights by the gov ernment; experimental legislation; the administration of relief, etc. Administration activities were ac cused of standing in the way of re. employment. Some speakers—including men whose views are listened to with the utmost respect—adopted a con ciliatory tone. Such a speech was made by the Chamber’s president, Harper Sibley, in a plea for con structive cooperation between gov ernment and business. But these talks were pretty well submerged by the wave of criticism. The Administration was repre sented by Secretary of Commerce Roper, who made a number of con servative suggestions. Secretary of State Hull also spoke, but he confined himself to a topic close to his heart, reciprocal trade treaties, and did not attempt a defense of other administration acts affecting industry. Upshot is that it seems inevit able that the President will go into the 1936 campaign with just about 99 per cent of business men on the side of his opponent. It is impos sible to estimate how this will affect his chances. But he has lost valu able support. On the other side of the fence, the President recently Rained valu able support when a number of im portant labor leaders went on rec iord for him. Theoretically, the American Federation of Labor is non-partisan—but it is known that it likes Roosevelt. President of the Federation, William Green, never misses an opportunity to praise the President in his speeches has intimated that his return to (Continued on page 5, column 6.) We Drivers A Series of Brief Discussions on Driving, Dedi cated to the Safety, Comfort and Pleasure of the Motoring Public. Prepared by General Motors Nor GROWER’AND SPEED ■\^ost of our motor cars will go so much faster than we ever care to drive them, that no doubt people often wonder why so much speed is built Into them in the first place. Of course, automobiles aren’t built with the idea oi pleasing the manufacturer or the engineer or the salesman. They’re built to suit the men and women who are going to own and drive them. And there are certain things that people do insist on in their cars. It happens that some of those things are of such a nature that when the engineers provide them, an ability to go fast just naturally results. For instance, nearly everybody likes to get going as promptly as possible. Now that’s just a matter of the power we have in our engine and how our car is geared. » Then there’s the business of hill-climbing. That may not mean as much in some localities as in others, but cars have to be built to suit us whether we live in Maine or Florida, Iowa or California—wherever we may live and wherever we may want to go. xaigineers tea us that they could build a fairly low-powered car that I would pull us up the steepest hill. But if they did, they would have to gear it so low that when we got over the top and onto a level stretch, we could only go crawling along at a rate that wouldn't satisfy even the most conservative drivers, * But perhaps the most important reason for hav . ing our power what it is in modern cars, is a matter that many of us have never considered. We all know what happens to us, when we, ourselves, a>e going at high pressure all the time, either physically or mentally. A person can work 12, 14 or 16 hours a day, but we know we get along best when we don’t tax our last reserves of energy all the time. i In the same way, anybody who has ever run machinery knows that if you keep it going at full capacity and full speed day-in-and-day-out, you’re Just multiplying the chances of a breakdown, sooner or later. And that s how it is with a car. By building In the ability to run at high speed, engineers make it prac tical to run at reasonable speed. If our car can go seventy, eighty or maybe eveh more miles an hour, then it won’t have to strain to go thirty-five, forty, or somewhat faster if circumstances demand. So wo can drive it along at sensible speeds hour after hour, day after day, without over-working it When we stop to think about it, lots of things are built with that added safety margin. Elevators in our of fice buildings could carry far heavier loads than the weight of all the people they can noia. bo could modern bridges. The steel girders of our buildings, the rails under our train*—in fact, any number of things we depend on day-by-day— are much stronger than they really have to be. They all have that extra margin of protection. So with our cars, what we have to remember is that speed is simply a by-product of power. We can use that power unwisely, or we can uae it sensibly ana get better penormance and dependability as the result Manufacturer* can’t decide that It’s all up to us.

With Italy’s proclamation of sovereignty of Ethiopa, the last in dependent kingdom in Africa seems to have passed into the limbo of history. It long ago became ap parent that the European powers which threatened Italy with strong reprisals if she went aheadi in Ethiopa, were bluffing. Big question is, what effect will this have on the League of Nations? The League wants to keep Italy as a member because of the German problem—it needs the help of all the old Allies if Hitler is to be held down. And Musso lini isn’t at all backward about saying he will quit the League cold if it attempts to hamper him in Ethiopa. On the other hand, League pres tige is going to suffer terrifically if it accepts the status quo, and lets a big power swallow a little one. Little nations are the back bone of the League—but the^ won’t be enthusiastic for it long under these circumstances.

WALLACE TURNS DEMOCRAT} Three years of pondering, three years of indecision, three years of "thinking it over,” and Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, has at last decided the great issue: he has chosen to be a Democrat! Mr. Wallace was selected for' a cabinet position by President Roosevelt because he was a Repub lican. For the same reason Mr. Ickes was appointed Secretary or the Interior. The President wanted to express his appreciation of the support given him by thousands of Republicans who deserted their own party in 1932. But now Mr. Wallace is going to be a full-fledg ed, honest-to-goodness Democrat. He says so himself, adding that he has transferred his voter’s regis tration in Iowa from the Republic an list to that of the New Deal. For eight years, Mr. Wallace av ers, he has been Democratic in feeling and has been voting for Democratic candidates, but during that time has been registered as a Republican. As a reward for his “loyalty-on the-dotted-ine,” Mr. Wallace may be named a delegate from Iowa to the Democratic convention in Phil adelphia. Had Mr. Wallace been a Demo crat in 1932 he would not now be a member of the Cabinet. As we go to pressat 11 p. m., it | is raining hard and we estimate we have had an inch or better.
