is a poor tribute to our capacity for
planning that in a country so spa-
clous as this there should be so many
landless, so much crowding together
and so little opport unity to enjoy
health-giving contact with nature.
Now that we have automobiles and
good roads there is no compelling rea-
son why only the wealthy can af-
ford the luxury of a suburban or
country estate it would go a long
way toward solution of the surplus
land problem if we could spread out
and give ourselves room to breathe
and our children a place to play.
Under an intelligent program of
land utilization there would be no
fear for the country’s future timber
resources. Land best suited for grow-
ing timber would be used for that
purpose, perpetually replenishing the
supply and at the same time afford-
ing the people opportunity fin hunt-
ing. flailing and either field sports.
The possibilities for social and
economic betterment by orderly land
utilization are almost endless. In con-
trast with our present fumbling sys-
tem they seem Utopian, but a fairly
close approach to the program Sec-
retary Wallace envisionx for the Unit-
ed States has been achieved by the
more advanced countries of Europe.
We shall have to do n better job of
planning here or gradually sink un-
der the problems that beset us. The
probable direction of our planning,
whether through public or private
channels or both, is a subject too vast
for discussion in this limited com-
ment. It entails an adjustment so
drastic thul some compromise with
individualism seems inevitable, at

it all all were labor leaders who
doubted that the boards of big cor-
poration executives would protect
workers. President Roosevelt said of
the Swope proposal that the present
time is not propitious for a change
in plan—that "the next few months
are expected to bring forth hundreds
of other plans." Then he issued a
summary of reports showing late
achievements of the NRA including:
New employment for 2,000,000 peo-
ple; Increase in industrial outlets; a
20 per cent rise in hourly wages and
40 per cent drop in working hours
To his defense came distinguished
Professor Edwin Seligman, saying that
the depression is actually ending,
that for the first time in history re-
covery from the bottom is being
speeded consciously and effectively;
that there is no basis for fear of un-
controlled inflation; that we are in
the midst of a social revolution with-
in the framework of capitalism, which
promises lusting benefits. Another
very important bone of contention is
the securities act. Some of the ad-
ministration’s best friends, as well as
business executives, believe it needs
overhauling, is not only preventing
issuance of worthless securities, but
securities, entirely legitimate and most
essential to industry.
