Whon Brigadier-General Charles Kilbourne, Chief of Staff in charge of War Plans for the United States Government,“ sug- gested at a secret meeting of the House of Representatives Military Committee that a big air base should be established on the, Cana- dian frontier, he aroused a cortain amount of perturbation in the Dominion.

BIG BUSINESS AND
HIGH FINANCE President Roosevelt's plan to eliminate unnecessary public utility holding companies has thrown into marked relief the growing disposition on the part of the people of the United States to distinguish between Big Business and High Finance. A generation or ago, the average citizen kept a wary eye on Big Business. The gigantic new industrial combinations frightened him. He had an un- easy feeling that they were growing so big and so powerful that his liberties were in danger
