DECLARES U.S. OPEN-MINDED IN AID TOBUSINESS

“Young Says Government Does Only That Which Industry Cannot Dao.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (U. P.) — Director James Ww. Young of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce believes that Government should do for businéss only that

which business is unable to do for itself. “We don’t want to assume any activities a given industry or business, in an organized way, can carry on for itself,” he said today in his first interview since Commerce Secretary Harry L. Hopkins appointed him to the key post last August. He _added that there were some functions which Government must perform for business because the general welfare is involved.

Says Government Impartial

“Furthermore,” he continued, “the Government is the only impartial agency that can get the confidence of all business to do certain jobs which are of vital importance to business. I cite as an example the . monthly survey of Inventories made by the Commerce Department. More than 900 firms are co-operating by , furnishing figures on a voluntary basis. There is no private organization to which these firms are willing to give the figures; “In spite of the fact that we have + undertaken that activity, my attitude is that if any private agency - could do it, we'd cheerfully give it up.” He expressed belief that in the next decade industry’s most important advances will come out of research in the field of social science. _ “Businessmen, by and large, have learned to respect and value the work of students and research people in the field of the physical sci- , ence because they have seen the tangible fruits af that research in manufacturing- progress,” he said.

Research Advances

“Yet industry has not learned to value th& work of the people in the social sciences. The economist is a worker in that field. There isn't . yet in business a widespread appre- _ ciation of the fact that in the last ten years very marked advances have been made in the techniques , of research in the social science activities. And it's partly due to lack of appreciation of what the economist can contribute today that business tends to look upon people iike that as long-haired theorists.” Discussing efforts by some elements in the Administration to improve business-Government relationships, Mr. Young felt some ‘ progress has been made. But, he added, there is still a great need for better understanding of the problems of both sides. ' , The one big job of the Commerce . Department, as he sees it, is to promote trade so that more goods will be supplied to more people.

‘BRITISH OFFICER HAS TWO ARTIFICIAL LEGS

LONDON, Feb. 23 (U.P.).—Douglas R. S. Bader has two artificial legs, and yet is a first class pilot

of the R. A. F. somewhere in England, with the title -of flying officer. : : Bader joined the R. A. F. eight . years ago and was one of England’s most promising pilots, then one day he crashed and lost both legs. He had two artificial legs fitted and found that he could fly as well as ever with them. So he applied to the Air Ministry to rejoin the R. A. F.,, but as it was peace-time, he was rejected. But Bader was not the type that gives up easily, so went on flying on his own in all kinds of machines, and when war broke out, was ac-

The Gallup Poll Shows—

But One-Third Declare That Neither Party Can Accomplish Aim. By DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion,

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 23.—The repeated attacks which Republican candidates like Senator Robert Taft (R. 0.) and Thomas E. Dewey have launched against the fiscal policies of the New Deal raise the question whether the Republicans, if they get into office, are more likely to - balance the budget than the Democrats. Senator Taft 3 i said that Federal REALE RY] income and ex- ——— 4 . Re . penditures could AME RrcaN | ve balanced within two years, and

PUBLIC’OPINION] the report of the Republican Program Committee early this week likewise came out for a balanced budget by 1942. What impression has the Republican fiscal program made on the voters? A national survey just completed by the institute shows that the largest ‘single group of voters think the Republicans are more likely to

years than the Democrats, but a substantial number think“that neither party will be able to accomplish this aim. The specific issue on which opinion was measured follows: -

“Which political party dc you think is more likely to balance the Federal Government's budget in the next four years—the Republicans or the Democrats?” Those with opinions voted as follows:

Republicans More Likely.... 42% Democrats More Likely..... 23 Neither .......csive0e00s0e: 33

Approximately one voter in every six polled (16 per cent) expressed no opinion. In relation to the coming cam-

paign this sentiment is significant on at least two counts. First, it shows that the symbol of “thriftiness” and conservative fiscal policy is at present more associated with the G. O. P. than with the Democrats in the minds of voters. Second, a large body of opinion— more than one-third of the voters polled—is skeptical of the ability of either party to balance the budget, which means that even the Republicans will have to convince many voters of their ability to make ends meet if they win the Presidency.

‘Earlier Institute polls show that not all of the nation’s voters feel that it is necessary or important to balance the budget. At the time of the 1936 campaign a little over one-quarter expressed the opinion in a survey that there was no pressing necessity for budget balancing.

In another recent study, published last week, a substantial number of

cuts in relief and public works. The question still undecided is whether the budget-balancing appeals of Republican candidates will attract enough Democratic voters to help s ving the election to the G. 0. PJ
