CHANGES AHEAD
One of the most perplexing things about living in 1933 is that the world's leading thinkors seem quite unable to make up their. minds whether we are approaching a sunset or a dawn. If you study all the books, magazine articles and Interviews in which thought- ful men try to appraise the pre- sent situation, you will find two schools of thought represented. According to one school, the end of all things is at hand, and a great darkness is about to settle down over the waters. Capitalism la done for, western civiliantion is about to collapse and the world le
