ICKES CRITICIZED IN MIDWEST GAS CUT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U. P), Lt. Gov. John Lee Smith of Texas thinks government officials who cut gas rations in the MidWest are “power-mad megalomanimacs motivated by" political considerations,” while Petroleum Administrator Harold L. Ickes pictures Smith going about “draped in the outer-garments of patriotism and the underwear of self-interest.” The name-calling, which reached & new High even for these parts; occurred when Smith wrote ta Price Administrator Prentiss.

They fear being accused of spending time and energy that might be devoted to winning the war: But worry by millions of Americans who dread a return of depression and unemployment after the war “is costing a terrible lot of time and energy.

Encouragement—and Opposition

GRASSROOTS planning hy individual businesses and industries is getting significant encouragement from some government sources. It has opposition from others, from people who believe that only government: can be wise and public-spirited enough to control our complex economy and save it from dangerous booms or disastrous busts. There are those in government who contend that reliance on plant-by-plant business planning would defeat the hope for security at home and for full participation in a real world organization; that there must be far-reaching plans and contréls—provided, of course, by government—to balance national and international production schedules. Their idea appears to be that, in large measure, government should .determine what individual industries shall produce and in’ what volume, from which it would seem an inevitable step to government telling individual men and women where to work, in what numbers and to what end. 8 » o » o H THE OTHER viewpoint—that only through unimpeded production can the United States be strong enough to provide high employment and play its full part in the post-war world—is finding some able spokesmen. - Henry ‘M. Wriston, president of Brown university, puts it this way in his new book, “Challenge to Freedom”: “This war can be won and it can be paid for only if we produce. There must be such a burst of production, such a fever of energy, such a wealth of invention, such an outpouring of skill as the world has never seen before. All those resources are right at our finger tips through thé magic of chemistry and engineering and technology, and the American people should speak with one voice: ‘Clear the road for production!’ Whether the obstruction is business practice or union requirements or government red tape, all must make way for victory in war and recovery in peace.”

Believe Veterans Want Opportunity

BUSINESSMEN LIKE Eric Johnston, young and forward-looking president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, and Paul G. Hoffman, chairman of the Committee for Economic Development do not pretend that private enterprise can do tomorrow's job all on its own and do not deny that gévernment has a great responsibility. They believe: that the returning veterans and the people at home will want not just jobs, but good jobs with opportunity to make them better, and with opportunity for many to go into business and become employers. ‘They believe that will be possible only through wholehearted co-operation between government and private enterprise.

1 They stand for what Mr. Johnston, writing in the September Reader's

Digest, calls “A People’s Capitalism.” : A people's capitalism, he says, 1unlike “a capitalism of the bureaucrats” or “a capitalism of monopoly and special privilege,” puts first of all the best interests of all the people. Its requirements are: “A people with savings—capital—in their pockets. “Business gates open wider and wider to all who wish to enter with
