The American Way
BY George Peck

There really are only two systems
of government: ID The Government
Owns You-System, and (2) The You
OWn-The-G Governments System.
The first of these systems has a
great many different names. A few
Of these are Nazism, Fascism, Total
itarianism, Collectivism, Marxism,
Communism, Socialism and Planned
Economy. 1t was Shakespeare who
said: "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" Under the
skin all of these Isms are the same
in that they inevitably lead to the
same end-demanding full coopera-
ton of the individual and handing
out punishment if it is not given.
Under all of them, the individuals
liberty eventually is completely
c~onfiscated; he tills the soil or works
in the factory according to the rules
laid down by the government that
OWNS him; even his domestic life,
his amusements, his educational and
cultural pursuits are decreed and
supervised by government.
The second of these systems, the
You-OWn-The-G Government System.
which we know as the American
Way and under which this country
propospered for mor than a CEN
fury and a half, reduces government
action and domination to an almost
irreducible minimum. 1t leaves in
dividuals and businesses to their
own devices, to sink or swim; the
government simply acting as UNI
pire to see to it that all participants
play the game fairly. This system
recognizes that some individuals
and businesses have gotten them
selves into bad predicaments, thru
avarice, incompetence and misman-
agement; that there always will be
some such, but that for the good of
the individual and business, it is bet
ter for natural law to remedy and
punish rather than to call for action

Dy government.
We have in this country a number
OF people who, either through ipnor.
ance or for selfish reasons are IN
favor of and r advocating that we
change from our present system To
one of the Government Owns You-
Systems. These people are for more
and more government controls Of
individuals and businesses and are
against Free, Competitive Enterprise
and individual freedom.
There is no lasting middle ground
between these two systems. The i'm
mortal Abraham Lincoln said: 81 be.
lieve this government cannot endure
permanently, half slave and half
Free. One must be either for one
system OF the other. One either
wishes to be a free individual, con.
trolling his government, deciding
for himself how and where he shall
live, how he shall clothe himself.
how he shall amuse himself and
what he shall eat; or one believes
that he and his fellow citizens are
not capable of governing themselves
and that government must step in
to take them over, body and soul,
to dictate their every move
All too many of the American peo-
pie temporarily have been dazed by
the spell-binding proponents of the
Government Owns You-System. 1t
is high time for these people to sit
down and reason with themselves,
to ask themselves if they really wish
to give up the liberties and rights
which they now enjoy under the
American Way of Life, and subject
themselves to the tyranny of a bu-
reaucratic system that will deny
them those rights and liberties. To-
day it is still OURS TO CHOOSE
tomorrow it may be too late.

The Most Poignant Story out of

The Most Poignant Story out of
France. The young couple had been
married for a short while when the
Huns picked the bridegroom up and
took him off to do slave labor for
them. For five years they had no
trustworthy news of each other. The
Americans drove across the Rhine,
swept up German soldiers in great
numbers, captured prison and slave
camps releasing foreigners forced to
labor for their enemies. Somehow
word came to the bride that her
husband had been released and
might be expected home in a week
or two. Her heart sang and she be-
gan to make ready for him. Then
the news became definite that he
would be home likely on a certain
date. AS women will, she began to
clean house, she mopped and polish
ed until the home was spotless, not
a speck of dust from cellar to gar
ret. The neighbors wanted to, offer
ed to help. The offers were declined
and every woman understood and
they were very glad for her. She
brought his chair and placed it be-
fore the fireplace opposite her own.
The precious fine linen sheets were
brought from hiding and the new
and immaculate pillow slips were
brought and the bed made up for
two. The best of the wedding china
and silver were used on the table,
set for two. In the kitchen an extra
chair was placed in order that he
might sit near while she prepared
the meals. She stood in line for hours
to get the food he liked best. All the
time she moved and worked as in a
trance, hardly ever spoke. The wom-
en- understood and smiled to each
other with a queer tightening of
their threats. The expected day
came, she was up early and again
went over all the little things she
had done to please him-the two
chairs before the fire, the two pill
lows on the bed, the table set for
two, the dressing gown in the place
he always looked for it. Then she
took the market basket and hurried
down for the last perishable tidbits
he liked. The grocer protested the
extravaganza in using so much of
her precious permits but she threw
them out lavishly saying what
should I care when the husband I
have not seen for five years is COM
ing home today. While she was a.
way the husband came, eagerly
entered the house. He noted the two
chairs before the fire, the table set
for two, the two pillows on the bed.
Market basket on arm she opened
the door, after five years they faced
each other. He struck her in the
face with his fist and again and a.
gain. Leaving her near unconscious
on the floor he went down the steps
and away without a backward
glance.
