The Worlds Far and the
American System

This wear America is being
treated to two magnificent world
fairs, at New York and San
Francisco. Millions of citizens
are visiting them. And to the
thoughtful visitor. these fairs
must appear as great deal
more thar colorful and exciting
shows - they are living teSti-
monids to our traditional eco
nomic system based or the free
est possible play of Individual
initiative and enterprise.
At the great industrial eX-
hibits at the fairs you will see
vividly presented the achieve
ments which are responsible
for cur Amrican standard of
living, the highest by far IN the
entire WorN. Out of the work
CT Millions Of hands and brains,
working in a free society, has
come this epochal progress.
Electric power. radio, railroad,
autmobile, clothirtA-every ex-
hibit is a monument to the
American system-private enter
prise.
1t is fitting that the two fairs
should operate at this time. For.
ID an extent never before known
in our hisory, this American
system Of ours has been under
attack. The greatest achieve
ments of private industry have
been mirimized. And the very
foundation stones Of democracy
have beer undermined. lndivi-
dualism has been held up to
scorn and riduculc. Business
has beer revi!ed. Back Of this
campaign against the American
system is determined attempt
to put in its place a system bas-
ed on some foreign ism.
Well, one can hardly believe
the American people will fall

of course is the armament race,
both here and abroad. Nations
which are engaged in war or
are preparing for war have in
satiable appetites. And that has
been stimulating factor to our
long dormant heavy industries.
On top Of that, there is con-
siderable amount of industrial
expansion going on in malNy
lines, and this expansion will
continue, and that the index of
industry this fall will reach a
a level maternity better than
was touched last year.

Judge Louis A. Buckley, who pro-
nounced sentence after DR.. Kroeze
pleaded guilty to overparking Judge
Buckley fixed his fine at 50 and DR..
Kroeze asked to be confined to the
city Jail for "a hours in lieu of the
fine.
Before going to Jail DR.. Kroeze can
