IL cluSively that free economy is
essential to the maintenance of free
society. From the dawn of history
to the present time whenever a state
takes on the task of controlling the
economic life of it's individual citi-
zens it, concurrently or soon there
after, takes away from them all per-
sonal and political freedom. The most
recent examples of this traditional
process are Italy and Germany.
In both of these countries the
state replaced a free economy with
a centrally planned economy, and
then by a series of DEGREES took away
from the people all their political and
personal liberties.
With these examples of Italy and
Germany so fresh in our memory,
one might conclude that under no
circumstances would we embark upon
any course that would take us away
from free and toward controlled
economy.
That conclusion would be sound
if planned economy came about as
result of a specific proposal upon
which we as citizens passed our
judgment.
But it doesn't happen in that
way. In Italy and in Germany, Mus
solini and Hitler were able to sell
fascism and nazism only because the
free economies in these countries
were not functioning effectively.
Their black shirts and brown
shirts were recruited from masses Of
unemployed. The greatest material
bulwark of a free society is an econ
omy of high level productive en-
ployment.
The achievement of high level
of useful employment in the postwar
period is task of great magnitude.
Useful jobs are not born of speeches
about full employment, but can come
only as the by-product of an expan-
sion in the nations output Of goods
and services.
We can have jobs enough Of the
right kind only by quickly achieving
an increase of approximately one
third over the level prevailing in our
last peacetime year of 1910.
MANY factors are involved in the
NA accomplishment of this goal.
Elemental to its attainment, how
ever, is teamwork between govern
ment, business, labor and agriculture.
Government by itself cannot provide
the jobs needed unless it goes total
itarian.
Business, regardless of how
boldly and intelligently Individual
enterprises may plan, cannot provide
the needed additional employment
without the cooperation Of govern
ment and labor.
Nor can labor or agriculture
generate the expansion we need
working by themselves.
The members Of each group have
part to play, and the groups them
selves must subordinate their respec-
tive interests to the common good.
This cooperation needed so des-
perately between groups, both from
the standpoint of the war effort and
winning the peace, can ensue only
in an atmosphere Of good will.
In the wake Of wave Of anti
semitism might come an outburst of
industrial strife.
If, when peace comes, the Ku
Klux Klan should ride again, its ugly
influence would stir up prejudice on
a dozen fronts.
1t is your responsibility and that
of every good citizen to speak up and
fight for unity as we have never
fought before.
TOLERANCE must become something
i more than passive word-it must
become fighting faith. If we succeed in
achieving understanding and cooperation
between groups on the home front we will
