Right Turn
Plain people in America are.tired
of regimentation. The figures show .
it. Late in April “big-city newspapers were publishing tables of
figures that grew out of a survey .
by the American Institute of Public
Opinion, popularly called a ‘‘Gallup .
Poll.’’ An article by George Gallup
himself accompanied. the figures I
examined and they were both interesting and encouraging.
Nothing but victory in war could
make bigger news. Nothing short .
of unconditional surrender by all of .
America’s national enemies could be
more gratifying than this: Suddenly
there has come a popular yearning
for the days when Mr. Customer was
boss, when people got paid accord. .
ing to what their work was worth,
when they had a right to anything
their money would buy.
Back to Earth
Dr. Gallup says, ‘there are indications today that the largest group
of the American people are not now
particularly interested in seeing
many changes or’ reforms in this
country after the war. In fact, a
survey just completed across the
nation by the Institute reveals that
the majority of Americans want
things to remain pretty much as
they were before the war.”
The head -of the Institute told a
few hopeful details about individual
answers to his questions. He says
a good share of the minority who
wish for post-war changes want to
change back, back to conditions we
knew years before the war. . He
didn’t say so, but indicated clearly
that the people are longing for. the
days of self-reliance, before the
WPA, the CCC and the NYA.
Pompous Protests,
People are beginning to walk
around the idea of dictated social
change to look at the back side of
it. The gold paint is beginning to
.
rub off those cheap theories about .
all citizens doing a similar amount
of work and drawing about the same
pay, government guaranteed jobs
for everybody, politically run banks
and’ stores, regimented farmers,
standardized houses, clothes and
food. The sawdust is showing
through.
The famous surveyor of public
opinion grouped into three classes
everybody his scouts questioned.
The break-down was. by educational attainment, (1) college, (2) high
school and (3) grade school people.
Now who, do you suppose, wants the
social changes? The college class—
58% of them. More than half the
other two groups disagree but most
of. the cap-and-gown folk want
America made over.
Fake High-Brows
Revolutionists, critics of representative government, malcontents and
promoters. of European theories
have done an amazing job in American colleges.The mystery is—How!
They smoke-screened the unique
prosperity of this world’s most favored people and, protected by academic indifference, spotlighted the
flaws of popular government and
fumed about unfair competition.
Selfishness is a trait of mortal
man, not a special feature of .private enterprise. This fact has been
proved to a lot of honest people under war-time regimentation, needless restraints, questionable rationing and discourteous petty officials.
It is losing favor. We have heard
a lot about post-war demobilization
of the Army and Navy. Evidently
the pubjic wants to hear about the
demobilization of bureaucracy.
