THURSDAY, PASE £ “be 4 es NEVADA CITY NUGGET _Page Three LOOKING AZAD vy GEORGE S, BENSON President--Harding College Searcy, Arkausas 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.
