The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-04-21


Is the supreme task today OF both
employers and wage workers. Pri-
vate enterprise must prove its real
usefulness to the country at this
time OF crisis and demonstrate it's
right to survive. II is the RESPONSE
bility OF all groups to produce the
best possible product in quantities
as large as needed at the lowest
possible cost consistent with fair
wages and a fair return on money
invested.
America needs a national phiios-
ophy Of teamwork. For business.
this means teamwork within each
concern and teamwork with labor,
competitors. the public and the
Government. Though alien enemies
may be conquered, alien philoso-
phies can still overrun the land. In.
dustry is one of the first targets.
The true battle line is between pa.
troitic elements in management and
labor on the one hand, and the self.
seeking elements on the other.
Seven Postwar Goals
]. Industry should give as much
thought to building men as to pro.
ducing materials. The exploitation
OF human beings Is the certain road
to revolution. Industry must win
the battle against fear, hate, and
greed. AS America has found the
power to harness the forces of
physical nature, so ii must now
learn how to harness the forces of
human nature. This Is Gods plan
FOR a better world.
2. We all should cease talking
about the abundant life and again
teach that life is struggle. Homes.
schools and colleges should once
more put the emphasis on sacrifice.
training and the good OF all. But
all must be given more equal oppo-.
tunities, irrespective of color or
creed.
5. Fewer laws should be enacted
but greater emphasis will be put
upon law enforcement. Accompan.
led with this there should be A
movement TO let natural law work
more freely. There will be fewer
subsidies to unfortunate farmers,
inefficient manufacturers and indie.
pendent merchants. There, howev.
er, Will be recognition that the
safety Of the nations depends upon
prohibiting certain commercialized
evils.
d. Big cities should be decentral-
lied. This Is the only known protec-
ton against bombing planes as well
as against social hazards This may
be accomplished by some method of
taxation that will encourage more
people to live in the rural sections.
0. Voting some day should be re-
stricted. Because one is of age. he
is not necessarily entitled to vote
irrespective Of character, intelli.
gence or record. This does not mean
mat one must own property in or.
der to vote; but II does mean that
prospective voters should success
fully pass certain fair tests to elm
mate the unworthy.
8. Religion must again become a
part OF the nations educational sys.
tenn. The Church, however, will be
stripped OF its superstitions. dog.
matism and business enterprises.
Churches are due for rude awak
enlng. severe taxation and gen
eral purging; but the Church will
come out OF this more useful than
ever.
I. Finally. biology and the i'm
portance OF Blood and Soil should
be given greater consideration.
Those who breed and best train
the most children will ultimately
control. In the meantime, the auto
cratic countries will have become
more democratic, while the demo-
cratic countries will have become
moro totalitarian.
