In presenting the conservative philosophy for the forties, at the gen- eral session yesterday afternoon, Pro- fessor Tracy expressed the hope that the United States would abandon its theory of isolation and would see its way clear to cooperate with the other peace-loving nations of the world in avoiding war. In regard to economic theory, he said, he believed in capi- talism because it was the only system that could afford the greatest good to the greatest number of people. He asserted that the profit motive'is so strong in man that he will not work unless he can see a definite, tangible return for his labor. He de- clared that he could not believe in the theory of the planned economy because he found it impracticable in a democracy. Only with a leader who is omnipotent and omniscient, he asserted, could a planned eccnomy become practicable. Predicts Religious Revival Professor Tracy said he hoped for a revival of religion in the forties, true religion having its roots in deep human emotions. The trouble with religion, today, he said, is that it has been made too much a matter of in- tellect and not of feeling. He viewed present-day American culture in two lights. First, he saw a very dismal picture of thousands of college graduates who give no evi- dence of intellectual curiosity, who are content to receive all their "in- tellectual" and emotional stimulus from the sports pages and magazines, the Hollywood movie and jazz. How- ever, Professor Tracy said, he saw several bright spots in the Ameri- can cultural scene today. There is growing up, especially among the young people, today a love of good music: among each year's Hollywood output there is an occasional one which points to hope of better things. Finally, Professor Tracy, empha- sizing the priceless benefit the col- lege student has in his education, called for a wide dissemination of culture, a breakdown of the intellec- tual nionopoly which the great cities of the United States hold today. Wider Education Advocated Professor Benson called upon the liberal of the next decade to make his liberalism a pragmatic attitude rath- er than 'a hard and fast creed. De- manding a more intelligent approach to the social problems of the forties, he advocated:I a. wider education; b. revivification of religion as a basis of an ethical way of life; c. wider dissemination of culture to all parts of the United States, em- phasizing the great contributions which the immigrant refugees of the past few years will make to American culture; d. the merit system in govern-{ ment; maintenance of constitutional government for the protection of mi- norities; "civilization" or socializa- tion of Fapitalization; defense of so- cial security; extension of economic planning to make a system which can easily produce enough to support the whole population, do so; preser- vation of freedom of thought, speech and the press. Presents Radical View Professor Shepard, presenting the "radical" point of view, foresaw a shift to conservatism in the forties, with an attempt at balancing the budget which will be made at the ex- pense of those now on relief. He saw increasing class consciousness arising from thq bitterness which will char- acterize the administration - of relief. With the removal of the "interfer- ences" placed by the New Deal upon business enterprise, will come the de- cline of capitalism, he declared, as- serting that capitalism as a system cannot work because as profits in- crease, power is concentrated in the hands of the few and the purchasing power of the mass decline. Asserting that fascism is "the de- velopment of business shibbolhs in- to a form of insanity and enforced at the point of a gun," he pointed out that the movement probably will, as in Germany, get out of control. Amer- ican foreign policy, like that of the rest of the democracies, will not be rational in the forties, he said . DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1939 VOL. XLIX.
