DILUTED FAITH

This nation has always been unbeat-
able because the people have had faith in
their form of government and in private
enterprise. Their faith brought them free
dom-spiritual, economical, and political
It also brought them unprecedented COM
fort and security. Any man or woman, re-
CARELESS of race, color or creed, was free to
come and go as he pleased, work for whom
he pleased and by thrift, bring security
and well-being to himself and his family He
could go into business for himself and ii
he made good no one resented his success.
Yesterday these things were so, without
question.
We now hear predictions that we will
have some measure of socialism after the
war. We hear warnings that the people in
tend to have total social security" If they
cannot get it 100 per cent under the press
ent system, the implication is they will de-
mand it under some other system. Material
comfort with many has clearly taken pre-
cedent over things of the spirit, although
lip service is still paid to American tradi-
tons. Federal bureaus and many public Of
ficials promote this counterfeit doctrine.
A. good example of diluted faith in
America was contained in recent news re-
port from Washington, which stated in the
near future an energy resources car would
be appointed to control production and dis
tribution of coal, oil and electric power. ;,
The long-range purpose of this and similar
official planning is to pave the way for the
ultimate taking over by government of all
natural resource industries - specialization.
Natural resource industries are the
foundation of free enterprise They have
served the nation well, They have contrib
uted to stable employment and highersliving
standards There is no sound reason for MAX
ing basic changes in their ownership or their
methods of operation Proposals for sheir
specialization mean that officials with ''di-
luted faith are tryin gto straddle poll
teal fence. This is not the kind of faith
that built this nation
