BUSINESS FAVORS NEW DEAL LAWS

Fortune, the magazine of business, which for several years has been making surveys of public opinion on various questions, presents in its October number the results of interviews with business men in an effort to discover “what business thinks” of the laws enacted under the Roosevelt New Deal. And while Fortune finds that “the business man doesn’t like Mr. Roosevelt, he would undoubtedly expect a brighter future if he were assured that Mr. Roosevelt would soon depart forever from the White House,” nevertheless the Fortune figures show that a majority of business opinion was against only one New Deal measure, and that one has already been repealed. Every other important New Deal enactment, some of which were fought with fury by business when before Congress, is endorsed in principle by the business men that Fortune’s interviewers questioned. ”

Even the Wagner Act and the Works Progress Administration, which were most disliked of all the laws, were favored in some form by more than half of those interviewed. : : “Of the following recent measures, which do you think should be kept as they stand, which modified, which repealed ?” was the question asked and the replies summarized as follows: 7 Modi- ReKept fied pealed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ...84.7% 3.9% 8.1% Civilian Conservation Corps .................78.1 114 174 Bank Act divorcing affiliates ....................64.7 140 7.4 Federal Housing Administration ............56.9 79.0 19.6 Securities Exchange Act. .......................44.5 842 3.6 Utility Holding Company Act ..................38.7 85,5 9.1 Wages and Hours Law ........ccccrnenenn29.B 470 214 Socihl Security Act ... ............. . 948 B2g qug Work Progress Administration ................12.1 41.7 44.4 Waemner Act ... 88 M 8 apn Undistributed profits tax .................. 8.1 225 66.2

(There was another column in the table of “don’t know” answers which accounts for the difference between the. total of the precentages and 100.) j

In commenting on these results Fortune says: “So it would seem that of even major enactments of the New Deal, business has demanded the outright repeal of only—undistributed profits tax. And what was attended to by Congress immediately after the question was asked. With no clear-cut majorities for the elimination for the statute books of the remaining ten, it can be argued that so far as major principles of reform are concerned, the New Deal has produced nothing that business is not willing to have stand, at least with modifications . . . the impressive fact remains that whatever changes business might demand in such laws as the Wagner Act, Social Security and the Wages and Hours Laws, business seems to embrace the principles of this legislation. Altogether the list suggests that business accepts the fact that we have gone a long way from the pre-Rooseveltian status quo, and accepts a progralrgsghat surely would have been looked upon as radical ln .’7

If one recalls the public utterances of most of the leaders in finance and industry, the daily complaints about the New Deal’s interference with recovery and hampering of “private initiative” and then looks at the Fortune survey he is likely to conclude either that the Fortune survey is out of line or that big business men are not saying publicly what they really think privately—that they realize the laws are good but hate to admit it,

8 8 88 In an address over the radio on the eve of the introduction in the Senate of the proposed new neutrality legislation, Senator Pittman, of Nevada, explained its provisions. Contrary to widespread belief, he said, the new measures not only does not repeal existing neutrality laws but by “mandatory provisions vitally strengthens it.” The strongest feature of the proposed new law, he said, was that which requires the title to goods sold to belligerents to be transferred before they are shipped and that they must be carried in other than American ships. Of this Senator Pittman said: “It is new and it is mandatory. It has never existed in any other law.” : . It must now be evident from the President’s message, said Senator Pittman, that he “is determined to use every power to keep this country out of a foreign war. It is evident from the plain language of that message that he willingly leaves to Congress the establishment of our policy and the form of legislation and that he will approve such legislation. . . . S

“And let us recall again that under the Constitution, Congress and Congress alone has the power to declare war., Many of the polls that have been submitted in the country have asked the question: ‘Are you in favor of the repeal of neutrality laws?” Of course, very few are in favor of the repeal of the neutrality laws. The question itself conveys a 8 wrong infimation of the issue. Congress has no intention of repealing the neutrality laws. The proposed substitute greatly strengthens our neutrality law all along the line. It provides for the conveyance of title out of the American citizen to property that would be subject to destruction on the high seas. It thus eliminates this cause for controversy. It prevents our American vessels from carrying on any kind of trade or commerce with a belligerent. The proposed point resolution further makes it unlawful for any citizen of the United States to travel on-any vesgel of any belligerent named in the President’s proclamation as being in a state of war. It absolutely prohibits our ‘American vessels engaged in foreign commerce to be armed. ‘lt reenacts and makes more mandatory the finaneial provisdons of existing law. It absolutely prohibits the solicitation and the-collection of funds by or on behalf of warring pow- ~ ers. It restricts the use of our ports by submarines and as a _ base of supply for belligerent war vessels. It grants to the - President the power to restrict the use of our ports: not only ~as to submarines and other war vessels of belligerents, but evsh o armed morchantmenof bellgerets, .

Lesson For October 22 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE CITIZENS OF THE KING- : : DOM Lesson Text—Matthew 5:1-16. Golden Text—Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. —Matthew 5:16. Great and historic discourses are preserved with care and are read by succeeding generations with profit and interest even though they are recognized to be the utterances of weak and fallible men. The lesson before us presents what is ‘“undoubtedly the greatest single discourse ever uttered by any teacher or states‘_man or philosopher in the whole history of the human race” (Smith). Take up your Bible and read the words of the text. These verses are addressed to believers, to those who havs actually taken Christ as king of their lives. These beatitudes are not a substitute for the gospel. They are not laws that the unbeliever can keep and thus be saved, for this would be utterly impossible for anyone to do, except the one who has been born again. Only he who knows and has called upon the power and grace of God in Christ can qualify to walk as a citizen of His kingdom.

I. The Christan’s King (vv. 1, 2). The words which fell from the blessed lips of the Lord Jesug on that day as He sat on the mountainside were not the powerless declarations of an earthly philosopher or statesman, but of the Son of God who had humbled Himself and become the Son of Man who was still the King of kings and the Lord of Ilords. If you have not given glad and free allegiance to Him, do it now and you will then be ready to g 0 on and learn of the Christian’s character and influence which may be your possession in Christ, " 11. The Christian’s Character (vv. 3.12).

The eight characteristics of the Christian here presented are worthy of extended individual attention, but we can offer only brief suggestions.

‘““Blessed are the poor in spirit” speaks of humility as a commendable quality. How contradictory the present-day ‘pPhilosophy which calls for self-assertion and self reliance. But Jesus is not mistaken. The way into the kingdom of heaven is not that of assertive self-sufficiency. “Blessed are they that mourn.” The world does not believe that statement. It shuns the house of mourning. It tries without avail to philosophize away the fact of sorrow. The Christian, on the other hand, feels with his fellow lman and thus receives a blessing. i“I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chattered all the way; But left me none the wiser ~ For all she had to say.

“I walked a mile with Sorrow, And ne’er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her . : When Sorrow walked with me.” ‘““‘Blessed are the meek.” Ah, ves, poverty of spirit comes when a man rightly sees himself, and has a sympathetic touch with sorrow. Then he “inherits the earth,” because he truly comes to enjoy it as a place of service and Christian growth, and not because he has a deed to a single foot of its soil.

‘““Note that it ig the hunger arnd thirst for righteousness, and not the possession of it, that is blessed” (Plummer). Self-satisfied people know nothing of the glory of having such a hunger and thirst filled by God. 3

Time fails ug to speak of the Christian’s spirit of mercy which invites divine mercy; that purity of heart and absolute cleannegs of mind and sincerity of purpose which enable a man really to see God even in this impure world; that Christlike spirit which makes him a peacemaker in a fighting world—yes, that spirit which makes him like the Master in sweetly bearing unjustified persecution. = These indeed are the marks of the man who follows Christ as King. ; 111. The OChristian’s Influence (vv. 13-16). - “Salt”” and “light’’! What pungent and powerful folk are the real followers of Christ!

Salt fights against rottenness, keeps things sweet and fresh. Dr. J. H. Jowett says, Christians “are to confront rottenness in politics; they are to meet it in the realm of business; they are to make for it in the field of sport: they are to be its enemies in the crowded streets of commoa intercourse; they are to defeat it in the quiet and sequestered ways of art and literature; everywhere they are to provide the antidote

and towns would either have spent this money out of-their gasoline tax distribution, or gone with rough streets. Where a complete resurfacing job has not been required, the highway department has patched.or repaired city pavements, erect--ed signs, marked traffic and parking lanes and mantained traffic

to corruption, and they are to overcome and destroy it.”

Light has one function, namely, to illuminate. Wickedness and sin always love darkness, because their deeds are evil (read John 3:19-21). If Christ really dwells in us we cannot help but shed light about us wherever we go—a divine light which drives out the darkness of sin, of ignorance, of superstition, and replaces it with the sunlight of God.
