THOMAS President, Clarkson College of Technology Last week reference was made to facts discovered about our American Plan by a commission of Europeans plan of doing things. Here are a few of the things they said they dis- covered: That7 percent of the people in the whole world living in the United States under the American Plan had more purchasing power than all of Europe. That this lit- tle group of people had created and owned more than half the wealth of the world. That from only 6 per cent of the world’s acreage, we harvested more than half the world’s foodstuffs. That 60 per cent of the world’s min- erals are extracted in America. That we have half the world’s communication facilities. That we have nearly half the world’s railway and electric energy. ‘That we produce 92 per cent of the world’s automobiles. That 22,000,000 of these automobiles run over 600,000 miles of paved road | here.in the United States. That this little 7 per cent of the; world’s population enjoyed stand- ards of living which enabled them to | consume: Half the world’s coffee Half the world’s tin Half the world’s rubber Three-fourth’s the world’s silk One-third the world’s coal Two-thirds the world’s crude oil. Quite a testimonial coming from a critical study of our American Plan by a commission of Europeans who wanted to know. But the C tific to be sati terialistic exhibit of the suocess of the American Plan. The thing which seemed to amaze its members most was, that in 1933 we spent more than 3 billion dollars on education which was, they said, more than was spent on education by all the other coun- tries. They pointed out that today there are 29,500,000 young people at- tending schools and colleges in this country and that they are taught by a million teachers. Teachers and stu- dents together constitute a force of approximately one-fourth of our total population working at this thing we call idealistic culture. This is a very real part of the American Plan. At | any rate, nothing like it has ever | before happened on this planet! The commission also asserted, that real and practical independence for women was a part of the American Plan. We employ 11 million women | (Address questions to the aut! | holders. and have assimilated some 7 million of these since 1900.

Any way. it is |~ true, that the population of this coun- / try since the middle of the last cen- ( tury grew, not ten times, but twenty | times as fast as any population ever | grew anywhere else in the world. | Something attracted them. The com- mission thought it was the American Plan. But it also took a look at what it H called, “the common man.” It said “the common men” under the Ameri- | can Plan had billions of dollars | saved in millions of accounts in sav- | ings banks, that they had 65 million life insurance policies, that 60 per cent of the farms were unencum- bered, and that 55 per cent of the urban homes were owned by free- : LOST—Part of Wrist Watch Band around turtle crawls or elsewhere.

How has it wrought these mir- acles?” And in answer, they made { their only mistake. They attributed our success to natural resources and ! mass production. But other nations | have greater natural resources than | we possess and we have no patent on | mass production. It can be adopted by anyone who can work it. Mass pro- + duction is a matter of ingenuity, in- | ventive ability, the spirit of coopera- tion, and a high incentive to work, Always to work, to do a little more than is expected. This has been im- portant in the American Plan. But there is another reason the commission did not discover. About 1790, a lot of fellows made up their minds they were going to try some- thing new. That they were going to change the relation between the po- litical master and the citizen of the State. They decided they would make the government serve the individual and leave the individual free to ex- press himself in as many ways as possible. It is not the American Plan to turn this around, The American Plan has worked. The historical evidence is all on its side. Are we ready to junk it for a theoretical plan which has never been actually tried successfully any- where in the world? Democracy and liberty are the basic elements in the American Plan. Both are being ques- tioned today, especially in certain European countries, The European Plan may be alright for Europe. But the European Plan is not particularly reassuring just. now. Besides, the American Plan has worked! har, care of this newspaper) This Liquid Kills Skin Itch Quicker | _ Containing six kinds of itch kill- ing medicines, Imperial Lotion flows freely into skin folds and pores to reach and kill itching of h, tetter, ringworm and common itch.
