RUSSIAN FALLACIES,
CORRECT IDEA HERE,
TOLD BY LkNDERS

You can't recall an idea! Leon
Trotsky ruined a nation and dragged
It's people down and down with just
that one idea of his which conveyed
to the Russian people the idea that
they could live without toll That
idea caused the Russian downfall"
declared Howe Landers, of Indianap-
oils, former secretary of the Indiana
industrial board, in his address to the
Kiwanis club Thursday.
Present day conditions in this
country indicate that we have wealth
cred the storm financially. Bankers
helped toward turning the corner in
a financial way, through their perse-
verance and gruelling trials of the
past few years.
at is for you to carry the idea in
your mind, that to destroy Americas
economic system, all you would have
to do would be to destroy your COM
petitor's profit.
Confusion Caused
"Conflicted ideas of economics en-
tertained by different groups and ma
tions, have caused considerable con-
fusion on this matter. Every act of
our life has the making of our living,
building of our churches and pros
perity"
Mr. Landers explained that every
act of man. except his spiritual act, is
an economic act. Russian people
listened TO an idea which was con-
trary to the welfare of economics, and
today they are slaves. In the United
States we have dreamers who are
dreaming of the same thoughts which
proved the overthrowing Of Russia. If
America should fail then God help
the rest of the world. But America
will not fail
Don't think that as a whole, the
iudiciaries of your country are wrong.
They are the bulwarks of your liberty,
freedom and prosperity. They enable
you to better yourself The prosperity
which is coming to us, will be perman-
cnt providing that we back up the
efforts Of our government.
Competitive Purposes
I'VE take the unlimited competitive
economies for making profit for our
selves with which to live. This is
supplied by our country. The man
who has capital invested is using il
for competitive purpose, and moth
ing else,
Il don't need to tell you that this is
the greatest country, is the best, and
is the strongest in the world. You
know it."
Mr.. Landers said "Lenine and Trotz.
ky taught us one thing-that their
ideas had destroyed every ideal which
n man might possibly desire to strive
for, for the uplifting of humanity
Our attention is called to remem-
Der the possible piling up of manu-.
featured goods. If this should hold
true. all the financial backing would
not offset this handicap
When the World war ended, we
didn't realize the tremendous disloca.
ton of finances. We have turned the
corner and prosperity should and
must come from gradual process
None of Us should forget the material
side of business. There is no reason
for anyone to be pessimistic. Pros
perity is coming"
Urges Celebration
Mr.. Landers urged the heartiest sup.
port of the Fourth of July celebration
which is TO be held in this city He
said THE celebration of the Fourth
of July, significant as it is, will do good
to the city. but there is nothing which
Will he more TO you than the realiza
ton which this celebration will bring
the Importance of your country
America"
Inclosing Mr.. Landers urged tha
the United States could not be hal
and half. and nobody can enjoy tht
joys of the country by himself.
The Kiwanis club voted in favor o
supporting the celebration of thu
Fourth of July in Richmond.
