One fashionable argument in favor of increased gover . ment meddling in business has been the opinion advanced by . some ‘liberal’ economists that’ this country’s business struc. ture has ‘arrived at maturity.” In other words, it is argued that business can no longer take care of its problems of idle capital and idle manpower unless government steps in and “helps.” . The London Economist recently paused long enough in’ the midst of the problems of a nation at war to take a pot shot at this theory. As an impartial and learned observer, its words are worth listening to. Here’s what the Economist says: “If the United States, with its vast areas, its low debt, its inexhaustible natural resources, its rising population, is a mature economy, what is Great Britain? And yet our ‘decadwas standing stil! to so ahead as fast as on the average of the great Victorian era of expansion. “The American economy seems to have forgotten, for the moment, how to grow. But the probable explanation of this economic anaemia is to be found not in any arrival at ‘maturity.’ but rather in the existence of institutional obstructions to a free flow of capital.” Perhaps. as the Economist broadly hints, the reason that business and industry have not gone ahead very rapidly in recent vears can be traced right back to the interference of those theorists in government and politics who believe that America is growing old and who pass misguided legislation and restrictions against industry on that basis!—Contributed. Heavy Reading . . ia Even if you go in for reading on a heavy scale, you probably won't have the Code of Federal! Regulations, now beino published by the Government Printing Office. on your book shelves. When completed. it will include 23 volumes and 27.000 pages and we don’t know how many words — which makes it considerably bigger than the Encyclopedia. Yet much of the material contained in this lengthy compilation is of direct concern to you as a citizen. For it is going to contan a complete record of the things that various governmental agencies—none of them directly elected by the citizens of this country—have forbidden Americans to do. The number of these agencies. and the extent to which their actions today affect the life of the ordinary man or woman in this land of ours, is truly staggering. ge The Logan-Walter Bill, now in Congress. is an attemot to guarantee the individual fair judicial protection against the sometimes arbitrary actions of these dozens of quisa-lezislative boards and commissions. The actual physical record of the pat rulings of these agencies—embodied in the Code of Federal Regulations—hbears striking witness to the need for such protection !—Contributed. Just Wonnerne . I wonder why we've ceased to call A spade, a spade; Is it because we're too refined, Or just afraid? I wonder at the facility with which we moderns fit new names to things and types of humanity, that existed even in the first false dawn of history. Take the term fifth columnist for example; nothing new about that; there was a fifth columnist in the Garden of Eden, only then they called him “Serpent,” and made a ghastly mistake by not taking prompt and drastic measures for his extermination: In due course of time the “serpent” became known as “‘the Father of Lies,”’ a title entirely capable of apprqpriate application at the present time. There were fifth columnists in the camp of Moses; during his temporary absence, they adopted a foreign ideology, typified by a golden calf and attempted by every means within their power to upset the decent and orderly state of affairs. They were ¢alled, “vipers,” and dealt with according to their just deserts. Yes indeed, the fifth columnist was a very ancient pest and somewhere along the length of his slimy trail, the word “traitor” came into general use. That was of course in those rugged days when a spade was known by its plain, unvarnished name. Traitors were labeled as such and their nefarious deeds were not alluded to as, “subversive,” but by the more vigorous word, “‘traitorous”’. : I wonder just when we became too refined to call a spade a spade; perhaps it was at a time when a certain cultural school for girls adopted a set of rules in which nice young ladies were forbidden to “cross their benders,” and were orself x07 win street Nevada County Photo Center Enlarging and Framing, — Kodaks and Photo Supplies, PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, A Drorocnapner !

Answer: Brewers’ malt is barley that has had its starches modified. The barley is first permitted to “sprout” by the addition of moisture.
