...basic question involved is a large one, one which will surely confront America for the next few decades. As yet we have been unable to decide whether we shall have active government control of business, and in the few cases where we do have it, how much power the board or commission shall wield. The Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Reserve Board are unique in being the only government bodies that have grown to a position of real power, and now both are being challenged by big business...
...half-heartedly did the Chancellor take up the unanswerable Liberal and Labor charge that the Conservative Government has done little or nothing to solve the unemployment problem.

Iron, steel, leather, lumber, copper, flour-these and similar staples constituted almost the entire structure of U. S. industry. That they still remain the backbone, the foundation, of industry is undeniable.
