- By Rep. Burr P. Harriton h Washington—when we b boast of the effectiveness of our free enterprise systm, we may be inclined to minimize the long-term ' effects of certairfHmKis of recent decades which haveifcpciyed this system of much of the freedatn which was its historic strength in the, development of the nation. On ..more- careful appraisal- of our present .economy, we may become justifiably disturbd by the threatened disappearance of small business in, the United States. There are few happy small businessmen today. Caught among pressures r E which they find themselves unable to resist effectively, thevhave, on the, whole, little reasoirfci' fTmii fidence and enthusiasm as to their jDrospcts for the future. ?
This is not to say that no small businessman is making a decent living from his enterprise, or that there may not still be instances of notable success in the operation of new businesses of relatively modest size. On the other hand, the average small businessman operates to, day in an atmosphere of frustration.
