AN IMPORTANT
SENTENCE IN THE
PROCLAMATION

To many Americans, the most i'm
portant sentence in the Presidents
recent Proclamation of an Unlimited
National Emergency was this: II call
upon all the loyal citizens engaged
in production for defense to give pre-
cedence to the needs Of the nation to
the end that system of government
that makes private enterprise possible
may survive"
That, coming from the Chief Execu-
tive who has been given powers as
great as any ever held by his predeces
sors in office, is heartening. For it
is the private enterprise system that
maintains and strengthens and vita
lies democracy. It is the private en-
terprise system which is the basis of
social, economic and political liberty.
And it is the private enterprise sys-
tenn which the dictators, wherever
they hold power, have destroyed.
Today the private enterprise sys-
tenn is being called upon to give US
and the embattled democracies over
seas the tools of war and defense.
We are determined to build for our
selves military and naval establish
ment which will make it impossible for
any power or any conceivable combin-
alton of powers to invade and con-
quer us. But, unfortunately, all of
our possible enemies do not lie with
out our borders. Some Of the most
effective enemies of the private en-
terprise systematic democratic sys-
tenn = are operating within. And
some of them hold important posi-
lions in government itself.
How else can the ruthless political
drive against the electric industry be
described except as an attack on pri-
vate. enterprise-an attack which has
state socialism as it's clearcut goal?
Or the equality aggressive drive to
place all natural resources unde bu-
reaucratic, political domination? Or
the constant attacks against business
on all fronts-attacks whose obvious
purpose is to destroy the confidence
Of the American people in the system
which has made this nation free and
rich and great?
No one claims that private enter
prise is perfect. Perfection is not Of
this world. But any honest man
knows and will admit that the faults
Of private enterprise can be corrected,
through the orderly democratic pro-
cess of lawful regulation. And any
honest man knows and will admit that
the overwhelming proportion of bust
ness in this country have responded
intellectually to the requests of gov
eminent for maximum cooperation in
the name of national defense and Sc
curity. This is especially true Of the
natural resource industries-coal, oil,
power, metals-which are the very
root of the defense effort.
In the speech to the nation which
the President made on the same day
he signed the Proclamation, he said
this: "We choose human fredom-
which is the Christian IDEAL" Free
dom involves many things-and one
thing it involves is the right of men
to engage as private, free citizens,
in legitimate business, without perse-

cution from their government. It in
wolves, in short, the preservation of
the private enterprise system. Social
ism-whether it goes under the name
of Naziism, Fascism, Communism or
anything else-means slavery and de-
graduation for the people. Look abroad
if you doubt this. And then fight
every attack on freedom at home.

ment of Health. 1t is:
Don't forget to wash all fruits and
vegetables thoroughly before using
them.
There's always chance" DR.. Riley
explained, that some of the poison
Gus spray that is used very generally
on growing fruits and vegetables to
protect them from damage by insect
pests, will remain after they mature
and are marketed.
'Much of the spray, which usually
contains lead and arsenic, is washed
off by the summer rains, but there's
always a possibility that some of it
will be left. Washing both fruits and
vegetables before they are used will
help to rid them of any traces that
may remain. It's wise precaution, at
any rate, because all farm and garden
products have great deal of handling
before they are displayed for sale.
Careful washing will rid them of dirt
and soil acquired in handling, as well
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1941-10-09

as of any leftover poisonous spray.
"This advice applies especially to
housewives, cooks, cafeteria mana
gers and any others who handle or
