THE OLD ORDER
CHANGES
It is refreshing to know and
only fair to state that all so
called big business men are not
of the same thought as the Am
erican Liberty League. It is the
worst kind of a mistake to say
that the League represents all
big business. In fact, it only re
presents a small part of it, and
some whose names are well
known to the public. Thus it
attracts attention. But there are
a great many others, many of
them equally as well known,
who are in step with the progress
of the nation and thinking in
tune w'ith the most good for the
greatest number.
There is Edward A. Filene of
Boston, a co-founder of the Bost
on Chamber of Commerce, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, a merchant of internation
al repute and one of the wealthy
men of the nation. Mr. Filene re
cently returned to his home in
the east after a trip throughout
the country and in making an ad
dress shortly after he returned,
spoke of the political picture in
these words:
“This is no time for partisan
ship. We Americans all want the
same thing. We all want prosper
ity. What' we want to know is
whether we can best achieve pro
sperity by supporting President
Roosevelt, under whose administ
ration recovery has undeniably
begun, or by wrecking the New
Deal and returning to the system
in vogue when President Roose
velt was inaugurated.
‘I have recently returned from
another coast-to-coast study tour
America; and in the West as
well as in the East, I found many
bankers and many conservative
business leaders bitterly opposing
the New Deal Administration and
everything it stands for, while
workingmen and farmers were
generally for Roosevelt.
"But these bankers and busi
ness leaders. I couldn't help not
icing, were not content to crit
icize New Deal measures. They
objected to the whole idea. Not
once did they suggest a program
to ta!;i the place of the New
Deal. They had no plan to em
ploy the unemployed. They had
no solution of the farm problem.
What such men said was that
business must be allowed to go
its own way and. that the salva
tion of the country depended up
on the defeat of President Roose
velt.
"I am not claiming that the
New Deal has brought prosper
ity. Our problems have not yet
been solved by an means; and
they will not be solved until or
ganized business recovers from
this fit of angry embarrassment
and is willing to co-operate with
organized agriculture for nation
wide, planned prosperity. I be
lieve in business leadership; and
I want business to regain its lead
1 ership. But we business men can
not do that until we openly recog
nize the tragic mistake we made
in the days when our leadership
was unchallenged.
"Organized business had its
way for decades; and so long as
our way was in harmony with
industrial development, the mass
es of Americans did not object.
But industrial development brot
us to a turning point, and we did
i
not recognize that it was a turn
ing point. Our machines had be
come so productive that we could
hot keep them running, unless
the income of the masses was so
I
greatly increased that they could;
buy in such volume as was never
before possible. A new course

was necessary, but we did not
take it. We were asleep at the
switch; and our economic mech
anism, failing to make the turn,
went forward to the worst crash
in history.”
Pointing out that the Republi
can party did nothing in that cris
is. Mr. Filene continues:
"Republicans need a New Deal
surely, quite as much as Demo
crats. They need an utterly diff
erent administration of business
from that which brought us to de
pression. And while all of us
m^y disagree with some New
Deal projects, or even criticize the
administration of these measures,
this one fact stands out plainly.
The Roosevelt Administration re
cognizes the necessity for a fun
damentally different administra
tion of business from that which
brought us to disaster in 1929 and
has worked courageously on the
Herculean task; whereas, if the
Republican party is to be the par
ty of those who furnish its cam
paign funds, it can not now recog
nize any such necessity and is
therefore committed to the re
establishing the Old Deal.
"The Roosevelt Administration
makes no class appeal. Standing
as it does for planned prosper
ity, it stands for the prosperity
of all legitimate classes; but the
nature of this opposition, howev
er, has for the time being made
the Democratic party the party
of the wage-earner and the far
mer, and the party of those who
still suffer from unemployment
and poverty—suffer, not because
of any fault of their own but
because the rich and powerful
beneficiaries of the old order have
become so concerned with their
traditional rights and privileges
that they have not yet awakened
to the necessity of a New Deal.
But Mr. Filene holds out hope
for the Republicans if they can
but see the light when he says:
l’In 1940, providing Roosevelt is
elected this year, the case will be
different. Just as no party after
the Civil War would think of re
estabishing slavery, no party four
years from now can possibly
think of re-establishing the Old
Deal. We may look to the Repub
ican party, then, to become a par
ty of constructive opposition—un
doubtedly opposing the Democrat
ic measures, but no longer oppos
ing them on the ground that no
new course is ever necessary.
’’One day, in the light of hist
ory, all Americans will look back
at Frankin D. Roosevelt—mod
erate, calm, sympathy even to
ward his bitterest opponents—
holding to the only course which
can now preserve our economic
and social unity in these new days
of unprecedented change. They
are days in which, if Americans

are to be free, they must be free
to work and free to enjoy the
abundant wealth which it has
now become possible to produce.
But that means a New Deal.”
Mr. Filene has analyzed the
situation in a fair and unbiased
light. He has expressed what all
sound business men know, but a
few hate to admit. This nation
can not go backwards to the so
called Old Deal or any other
Deal. It must go forward to and
with a New Deal, if it is to sur
vive.—Exchane.
