The net result of its new democratic set-up is that business men will now have to deal with three department instead of one. The NRB now has an imposing front but it is probably that Richberg will make all final decisions...
...have in a longer time in the presidential chair and it makes you wonder now any man can call himself well-educated" until he has seen how the other fellow lives. If every captain of industry had to spend an occasional stretch in the ranks. If every Washington brain-truster had to earn his living for a time with his hands instead of his mouth, if every Phi Bete has to earn a portion of his college fees--how much better off all would...
