MODERNITY
VIII. Stuart Chase: Economics for
the Plain Man
A keen interest in national eco-
oouui i.n.bl. ms-* leading interest-
is one of the traits that distingu
lab the •modern’' person from men
of other periods. There can be no
doubt, I think, that Stuart Chaae
has dona far more to create and
keep alive this mtereat than any
other American, with the possible
exception of President Roosevelt.
The Chase bookaX abiably “The
Kconomy of Abundance", “Govern
ment in Business”,: and “Rich
Load, Poor Land", have for better
our defective system of distribut
ing'the wealth and good things of
the country; in other words, that
the efficiency of our engineers and
farmers has made possible an “eco-
moaty of abundance”, but that the
faultiness of our economic and fi
nancial setup keeps us actually in
i “economy of scarcity”.
2. That America belongs to *U
Americans, and that it behooves
every one of us to read and think
and plan and vote in such a way
as to make the whole American
process work to 'the satisfaction
of everybody, ‘
S. That it is possible to improve
the workings of American capital
and the . competitive profit
system without 'destroying them:
in 'other words, that you can be
a *1 iberal”, and push for reform
and change, without betraying de
mocratic principles or advocating
anything like a communist revolu
tion or a fascist dictatorship.
Now this is no place and I am
no man to prove or disprove the
truth of these three ideas. What
I do maintain is that, true or un
true, within the last ten or fifteen
years these notions have taken
firm root in the minds of thousands
of good Americans, and that it is
largely Mr. Chase who is directly
or .indirectly responsible for plant-

Saturday. Change in the offense

Two Hophomorea, John Kim

Tommy Vaaghn at center,
played great football ia the

listed as starters.
Everybody else has said
Dick Tedd played a game good
enough for All-Aamricam. and

Here's a quotation from “Jinx”
Tucker's story on the A. ft M.-Bay

bune-Herald:
“Playing ‘Goodbye to\ Texas
University,’ the khaki^clad (Aggie)
musicians made a snappy appear
ance. The band then played the
Aggie achool song, which was very
appropriate lent week (Oct. 15), aa
it ia very sad, and-would sound far
better in church than at a football
game. Of all the school songs in
the United Staton, the denizens of
the press box agree that the fu
neral march song of the Aggies is
the worst."
