Let's Think For Ourselves

We're tired Of having someone else plan
everything for us. Tired and afraid Afraid
that we shall grow accustomed to not think
ing and doing for ourselves and shall some
day, be content to let that other fellow
carry on. When that moment arrives for
most OF us, that moment democracy gives up
the ghost and freedom flees
1t began that way in Italy more than two
decades ago. A man with an iron Jaw and
big promises marched into Rome The peo-
pie believed and, as reason capitulated, lib
erty fled
1t grew in Germany where a man with
a small muStache and big promises took
over the government the labor unions. in
dustry. He controlled mems bread, and be-
cause men must eat they did not quarrel
with him. Reason died and again liberty
took to its heels
MuSSolini did the thinking and planning
for the Italian people; Hitler thought and
planned for the Germans Today Mussolini
lies in an unmarked grave, while Hitler's
last resting place is unknown. But the thing
they turned loose on the world still lives
call 1T Government Planning, Bureaucracy,
Communism, Planned Economy or what you
will
Put this down as a cardinal truth: when
men stop thinking and planning for them
selves democracy gives up the ghost and
freedom flees. You can't have Individual
liberty and planned economy; you can't have
freedom and bureaucracy; democracy and
communism.

Must Have Production

One thing is certain these days of uncer-
talnty-it the prosperity factors of our
American economy are allowed to function
under the free, competitive enterprise sys-
tenn, we shall have jobs a-plenty, and good
Jobs will be seeking men'to fill them.
These prosperity factors" are at hand:
we have the greatest supply of skilled labor
IN our history We have the greatest pro-
ductive machine the world has ever seen
expanded for victory and for a shining
peacetime future. We have the forces to
put both that machine, and the men to man
1t, in action, with the greatest pent-up de-
mand for civilian goods ever created.
And we have the money with which to
buy.
Competent authorities estimate pent-up
purchasing power and savings at figures
ranging from 80 million to 125 billions of
dollars That means that the pipelines of
production will have to be filled, and filled
quickly.
If production is hampered, jobs are auto
matically cut
Ii production is crippled for any cause.
the dollars of savings will lose value as
people bid for scarce articles, and we shall
have disastrous initiation
II production is curtailed, then we shall
not be able to discharge our obligations
toward rehabilitating foreign lands, and
thus endanger permanent peace.
If production is hurt for any reason, we
shall not be able to return our fighting men
to their rightful productive niche within
our economy.

went something like this:

No Way TO Be Friendly

The United States Department of Justice
has filed test suit in the United States
District Court in Los Angeles asserting the
Federal governments right to oil and other
mineral deposits in coastal submerged lands
lying between the low water line and the
three-mlle limit In the present case the
United States Attorney General would en-
JON operations of an oil company which is
extracting oil off the California coast near
Santa Barbara under lease issued by the
state of California, although it has been
long held IN court decisions that the owner
ship and jurisdiction of lands in states Dor
derlng on the ocean extends in all cases at
least one marine league or three geographic
miles from the coast on the open sea"
While the Attorney General saws the suit
is entirely friendly, nevertheless its purpose
is to take away from the several states the
ownership and control of land that has been
recognized as under state jurisdiction ever
since the creation of our Federal govern
ment. It would strip the states of income
which has helped maintain local govern
nentS, as well as the Federal government,
through income taxes.

for such attempts to limit state jurisdiction
over natural resources within the boun-
diaries of the state

The Stumbling Block

In the feverish haste to progress, civiliza-
ton goes through an abundance of trial and
error. Often great stumbling block to in
dlvidual independence has been government
planning for streamlined living, on the
theory that government can standardize
mans life and bring benefits to him by way
of rigidly controlled economy. This in
evitably leads to government ownership of
enterprise and property. AS consequence
the man in civilian life is reduced to the
status of dependent on government, when
all through history mankind has struggled
to be free
A politically planned economy for in
dividual living is the egg that matches die
tators 1t is the enemy of free men, When
will it be realized that the Individual can
not reach his highest destiny under gov
eminent domination? Mankind must pre-
serve free institutions in order to be free.
Will the stumbling block always prevail
or will it be cast aside to make the way
clear for an unfrustrated future civilization.

have just been passing through when un-

De Gaulle promised that, before the end of
the year, the production of coal and cleo

be placed "organically" under the control
of the state. With these key controls in its
hands, the state would be in position to
guide the whole national economy, De

leaders themselves. What q mocker of the
