OPPOSITION GROWING Eighty-seven Per Cent In 1920 aa Against 83 Per Cent In 1919 Think Public Is Opposed to Radicalism. The American public Is more Intensely opposed to Government operation than it was a year ago, according to the newspaper editors of the country. Out of 5,154 editors replying to a questionnaire sent out by the Press Service Company of New York, 4,466, xor 86 per cent, gave it as their judgment that the people of their communities were overwhelmingly against the Government competing In business with Its own citizens. In 1919 the Press Service Company conducted a similar canvass of editors on the government operation of railroads. That questionnaire showed thar H3 per cent of the editors considered . :heir communities against Government operation of public utilities. Apparently, then, if editors estimate public opinion accurately, that opinion in a year, considered by communities, has swung 3 per cent farther i away from socialistic experiments. Eleven Million Circulation. I The combined circulation of the paiAre nrhnco priltnrs renlied is 11,428, rv,? ?? r $17, which means, according to the isual estimated ratio between circulaion and readers, a constituency of at east 44,000,000. And this constituenry is pretty evenly scattered throughjut the country, no considerable secion of any state being unrepresented. The estimate of opinion based on this thoroughly diffused 44 per cent of the -ountry's population may, therefore, :>e considered a fair representation of the people as a whole. Another feature of the result ! its evident lack of partisan bias. The major political affiliations of the paters reDresented are fairly evenly dl vlded, being 1,857 Republican and 1,350 Democratic. There Are also 1,4S5 independent and 462 miscellaneous, including labor organs, etc. Hovr little the results are affected by the politics of the papers Is shown ip an analysis by sections. In the Southern section, for instance, wftere replies came "from 65 Republican papers and 389 Democratic, the percentage against Government operation was" 88; in, the Great Lake section, with conditions reversed, 478 Republican and 155 Democratic, the opposition was 87 per cent. Replies from the West, JiJddle West and Southwest show thaf it is a misfake to consider those sections vastly more favorable to radical Government ** - r>._4 fTk. nn/). experiments man me jc.as>i. xuo muJcals can get little comfort out of the 89 per cent of thumbs down?2 per cent above the average?In the Southwest, Including Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Texas, once supposed to be much given to Government regulation experiments, returned 92 per cent of unfavorable replies. Out at the 244 editors replying from that state only liiree edited Republican papers. The 82 per cent opposition of the Northwest, including Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, and the 83 per cent veto of the Far West group, including Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Washington, are significant of the prevailing conservative sentiment on this question even in j the more radical sections. Judgment Apparently Unbiased, j The questionnaire closes with a re" ?i: j. ^ rv<?ncAnnl nni n . quest IOr III? CU11U1 3 yuauuui Vf~ j Jon on certain concrete cases as fol; lows: J "Do you personally believe that the Federal Government should own and operate competitive industries to provide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothing? , (c) Automobiles? (d) Farm implements? (e) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editors who save estimates of their readers' opinions also expressed their own by replying to this last question. Proof of considerable effort to avoid personal bins is found in the. fact that in many cases the editor differed from the opinion he credited to his community. The percentage of "nos" ran: (a) 76; (h) S3; (c) 86; (d) 82; (e) 79. .. * An While me questions hcio wavu general principles Involved In the Government participating in competitive business, the so-called Muscle Shoals Bill now before Congress was used as a concrete example of a Govi ernment operation scheme. Under this j bill a Government-owned corporation would be given broad powers to operj ate and develop Government plants and properties. It would produce at | Muscle Shoals various fertilizer prod' ucts end sell them In competition with j | producers and merchants lu the fer-: ; tlllzer business. j ' Tho strength of lb* opposition it ! j Government operation is Indicated bj j the replies from Alabama, where the I Muscle Shoals war plant Is and where, of course, there I9 Intense Interest I and local pride In getting lis expected i peace-time operation under way at the ' earliest possible dare.

A GOV'T OPERATION j OUT OF POLITICS j Party Leaders Convinced by Results of National Can vass of Editors. VINDICATES FORMER POLL AwAMUiKalaMlMM V/*fa I ilrm Tk a# V^ap VTWI WIIUIMIIMVj V i*ir\v ilwk vi wmi Before From Both Sides of Political Fence. Washington,?Inner circles of both political parties here are greatly Interested in the results of a national poll- on the question of government operation among over 5,000 newspaper editors throughout, the country. With 86 per cent of these editors, regardless of political faith, giving it as their impartial opinion that the public is more than ever opposed to the government going into business in competition with its citizens, observers here see little chance that either political party will find it a profitable campaign issue. In the opinion of party leaders this sort of a canvass among- newspaper : editors Is the best possible index of 1 public opinion. They recall a similar 1 questionnaire sent out a year ago in connection with the proposition that the government take over the railroads permanently. Replies at that rim? from nnnroximatel v the same number of editors showed 83 per cent j against the principle, of government | operation. They recall also that within ten days from publication of the result of the former questionnaire th? sentiment for return of the railroads to their owners had definitely crystallized. * i Comparison of present results In de- ! tall with those of a year ago con- j vinces the political student not only : that these editors have been accurate J In their judgment, but that party con- i slderations played no part in form- ! ing It. From Democratic and sup- j posedly radical Texas, for example, j the present questionnaire brought re- j plies from editors of 244 papers, only ? three of which are Republican. Yet | the percentage agaiqst government j ojfcration was 92, which is exactly the I same as that given "by 200 editors j from Republican 'Michigan, among i whom were representatives of only ! three Democratic ' papers. Other states that pair percentages significantly are Massachusetts and Nevada, with 100; Connecticut and South Carolina, with 97; Maine and West Virginia, with DC; Kentucky and New York, with 91; Missouri and Pennsylvania, with S9; Oh to* and Oklahoma, with 87. The result of the present poll ns to government operation in each state are graphically shown by the follow- | ing chart: wlf. j WM96 OPPOSED TO GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
