The tendency is to make these lines of procedure so exact ing as to exclude rather than in vite new blood. The quotations given outlining the characteristics of mercantil ism were taken from a book pub lished in 1933. The date is signifi cant. The date of the publication of the book absolves Dr. Scott from any charge of bias regarding the recurrence of mercantilism during the last decade. All that is neces sary, however, to verify this re currence is to check occurences both in this country and elsewhere against Scott’s analysis. Fortunately for us we have a governmental device which ef fectively inhibits a sudden depar ture from that which has previously become an established system of rights under the government of the United States. If in Europe there had existed aiLragency comparable in dignity and power to our Sup reme Court, it is conceivable that the Swastika and the Fasces might have been buried in the same grave DR. N. B.

Thus we might have been spared the bloody process now being resorted to for the overthrow of the mercantilis- tic arrangements so vigorously championed on continental Europe. Needless to say if a powerful nation becomes organized along mercantilistic lines the natural con sequence is armed resistance to the extension of the sway of that government. We find here, of course, the real explanation of the devolt of the American Colonies from England. The English govern ment at the time of the American Revolutionary War was thorough ly mercantilistic. That fact ac counts for the effort to subordinate the productive activities of the American Colonists to the interest of the British merchant classes. How much more fruitful of wars is the mercantilistic governmental scheme of things when it becomes the dominant feature of several governments! It so happens that the antidotes to mercantilism were being worked out in France and England at the very time when our government was established. The teachings of those persons who took the inia- tive in exposing the fallacies of mercantilism became the inspira tion of the system of private rights as esablished under the congres sional form of government here. This matter will be up for consid eration next. Baseball Fans™ Hey you ball players—come by Lou’s and sign up for the softball league this summer.
