mesmerically until 1933 is that throughout the pre-depression period the Americap people were too busy to think.
For generations, until 1892. there was always "the frontier"; there was always some further tract of territory to be conquered, occupied, assimilated and civilised. Even when, in the middle nineties they ran out of pioneer territory, they a whole new area of discovered (dynamic expansion.
This new area was called, from one point of view, "big-business,” and from the other point of view, "standard of living." The third-! rate American, the "common man," was still able to hitch his wagon to

What has happened during the last few months is that this second "frontier" has also been closed There is to-day no sense of limitless opportunity. Or. to be more ac- curate, there is no longer that sense of opportunity for the third-rate
man.
America has not as yet discovered : a third area of expansion. She has thus been thrown back upon herself, and the contemplation of the dis-
days of the Founding Fathers now fills her with remorseful despair.
