AMERICA AS A MODEL
FOR POSTWAR WORLD
TO THE POSTWAR WORLD win
come many changes. theological
forces will provide, if possible, those
conditions out of which another
world holocaust cannot be produced,
but out of which will come better
ment of conditions of the people.
It would seem to most of us Amer
leans that no better foundation on
which to build a new world could
be found that the government and
system upon which has been erect
ed the greatest, most prosperous
and freest nation in the world. With
in but little more than $50 years
since establishing our independence,
we have expanded from a narrow
strip along the Atlantic to nation
that covers the width of the CONT
nent. Under the system provided
by the American Constitution, we,
as people, have conquered will
derness, have built great cities, pro-
NlOCO Ill1l1IOllo VI SOlll4OA toD1S liOIiiSo'
We have built more miles of high
ways and railroads than are to
be found in all of Europe. For
each one thousand persons, we own
more than six times as many auto
mobiles as the same number Of
Europeans own. In radios, tele-
phones, washing machines, in every
thing which adds to the comfort and
pleasure of living, America stands
pre-eminent throughout the world.
We, as individuals, have greater OPP
portunity to achieve. Among us
there is much more equitable dis
tribution of wealth than in any other
land. Our workers receive a much
greater share of what is produced
than do those of any nation of
Europe.
Yes, America has prospered I'M
der our American system and form
of government. Let us hope it
may serve as a model for the re-
building of a war-torn world, rather
than that we adopt any one of the
''isms" of Europe, which have moth
ing to offer us as compensation
for what we have.
