Rumania's second largest political group, the National Peasant Party of famed Dr. Julius Maniu, was not represented. In the windy way of dictators, Carol II proclaimed: "In these stern times only heroic measures can save Rumania. ... I am determined to save it by the single thought of the Fatherland's needs! . . .

The $200,000,000 corporation that is the dominant unit in American industry is as much a public institution as a common carrier and requires as much regulation. In the fifty years since the bitter struggle over its parturition the I.C.C. has won universal respect for its useful service. Perhaps after the early troubles that beset every new organization--even business organizations, a new government regulatory commission for big industry will prove just as useful and win as much respect...
