MAYO’S COLUMN muhwi fmanmn br, 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- ARCHITECTS ■ EXHIBIT WORK OH MEXICO TRIP Mexican Life and the theme of an exhibit of sketch books, note-bookAVpast.-ls, and water color# ‘pensored by the Ar chitectural Department.
