In his ambition, his initiative, his aggressiveness, lay the forces which molded the character and set the | tempo of the great industrial power which the nation is today. American history is a startling revelation of what the in- dividual can do when unhampered by | political strife and government interfer- ence; for during this long period, govern- ment authority remained strictly in the : background, played the role of spicuous umpire. | Then came 1929 and the depression. ;-Government, the sleeping monster, awoke with a roar, pounced upon real and imaginary abuses. And today, whether we like it or not, we are witnessing a definite trend toward collectivism and strongly cen- tralized government. Unless halted, it will mark the end of progress—industrial as well as cultural. to meet this evil. Their power lies in a friendly employer-employe relationship. Much has already been done in this direc- tion. Industry is steadily working toward | shorter hours, better pay and better work- ing conditions. In fact, it is working for | more, eve#, than these. The employe wants respect for his personality and understanding of what his job means; that he wants*an opportunity to grow, ‘to see a future where he can be- come more valuable to his employer and more useful to his family and to himself. In short, if each employe in the nation occupies a responsible niche in the com- munity, he will not easily succumb to the oily arguments of any form of collectivism that crushes individual freedom. “ONLY” $9,000,000,000!! ! There seems to be considerable con- fusion as to just how big the national debt is. One member of the appropriations committee puts it in the neighborhood of $40,000,000,000, while another member of the same committee places it between 36 and 37 billions. Likewise, they disagree as| to just how much money the last session of Congress authorized the government. to spend. One concludes from his’ figures that it was in excess of $10,000,000,000, while the other estimates it was “only” $9,000,000,000! Granting that the discrepancy is most- ly due to political heckling based on techni- calities regarding reappropriations, etc., culations leave a staggering total, a total far beyond present revenues. And, the most that optimists hope for in fiscal 1938 | except for public debt retirement. As the New York Times points out: “This is not a reassuring calculation, even if it works out. For it means that expendi- tures are now at so high a level that even the boom years of a business cycle do not provide for the retirement of debt ac- cumulated jduring the depression years. Under suclé a policy, there is nothing to keep the debt from mounting endlessly.” THOSE WHO CREATE Without an economic system which offers rewards to those who work create, pace for the world. That is the belief of Charles R. president of the American ‘Company. erican Lif he said: “When you look at your alarm clock you see only the hands dial.
