T HAVE always felt that Supreme Court

servers of the government when Con

Board The horror was not inspired by j
the appropriation but by |
the fact that the bill |
made provision for 11,- |

Here, said the con-
servative critics of the

bureaucracy, the great
est in the history of the
government »new

died on the backs of the
people.
This is a common
comment now when any
new government activity
goes into action. It ig-
nores: some very simple
Jolin 'I. Flynn and obvious facts about
government. For one thing, there is an
impression- and big business, busy try-
ing to make government unpopular,
stresses the impression that government
departments and government employe* are
all a lot of “la eaters,” who suck the
substance of the business world and give

of course government employes, in al-
most all cases, like all employes, are paid

Security Board which is called the new
bureaucracy and the latest to "climb on
