Only the MIRACLE OF-AMERI-
CAN PRODUCTION can save the
situation now, he urged, in peace as
it did in war-but if the nation is to
perform that miracle, it must
HURRY.
The admonitions of Mr.. Baruch
are authoritative, and timely.
The American people have two
great aspirations for the immediate
future, one being to secure their own
prosperity and peace and freedom,
and the other being to promote the
same conditions of life in other
countries.
DUINOUS and unnecessary strikes
~ are rendering the American
people impotent for the attainment
of these objectives, and, of course,
the FIRST duty of the country is to
stop and prevent strikes and the
strife attending them.
But even after this is done, Mr..
Baruch counseled, the country has
still another duty.
When we have restored full
American production by the elimina-
tion of industrial strife, he said, we
must make sure that the share of
this production we make available to
other countries is not used by them
to DESTROY our productive system.
eve must be careful Uhen We
giUe aid to other countries" he
wrote to Rep. Gore, "that this aid is
not used to ndtionalize their indus
tries AGAINST Us, to destroy our
opn competitive system.
"Engl land, Czecho-SloUokia,
France and other countries ARE
Matchmaking or are about to nation
alize their industries.
Russia has TOTALIZED herself
one buyer and one Selier-ond is
TOTALIZING ALL COUNTRIES
COMING UNDER HER AEGIS."
The advice of Mr.. Baruch is
SOUND.
The duties Of the American people
are CLEAR.
There must be national action
according to this good advice, for
only thus can there be national at
tainment of the good aspirations of
the American people.

N1HEN our good friends from overseas
w come to us for largess, the funda
mentals become confused Our treasury is
no cornucopia. The treasury is not only an
empty purse, save what is contributed by the
taxpayers and bond buyers. 1t is really the
biggest debtor in the world today; it owes
some 265 billion dollars to our people. Thus
it should be borne in mind that when Pres-
dent Truman alludes to lend-lease, he doesn't
complete the bookkeeping entries either, be-
cause there is no thought on the part Of our
government of completely cancelling out those
transactions.
So to speak Of cancellation is to look at
only one side of the ledger The only issue is
whether we will shift the burden to our own
taxpayers to make the payments and thus
relieve the foreign debtors; THERE Is NO
THOUGHT OF WIPING OUT THE TRANS
ACTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. LET'S
KEEP THAT CLEARLY IN MIND.
THE naive view is now in circulation that
Il Though legislation or otherwise we can
take all risk out of life We talk about
guaranteed annual wage; we talk sometimes
about guaranteeing profits we talk glibly
about guaranteeing loans.
It is naive misconception to assume
that the Congress can legislate risks out of
existence, either through guarantees of full
employment or what-not.
We have had this great rise in living
standards in the past, and it didn't spring
from these silly notions. 1t didn't result from
-~nnds made in the spirit of anger that
some one go out and Invent soooething, or that
some creative scientist on order find better
way of doing the days work. We benefited,
all Of us. from the creative mind which had
the gift and the patience and the talent for
invention and for improvement But the
creative mind sets its own pace. 1t does not
deliver under duress.

The Land Of Opportunity
By MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSER

We also talk about raising wage rates
and not raising prices.
If the higher wage rate is offset by tech
biological improvements, then the worker
really benefits. He gets more goods for less
money. But if it is merely an arbitrary
markup not offset by any improvement in
efficiency, then it is merely an inflationary
process.
What Is the fundamental cause Of infla-
ton: II Is this series of unbridled budgets,
unbalanced for many years. We got into
the bad habit long before the war. and dur

Perhaps such tiresome details are be-

rendering services is nasty old-fashioned,
capitalstc trick. Even the Communists adj
nit that in Soviet Russia practically nothing

is held up by Communists AS the perfect

sequently not only our prosperity,

very liberties, are in jeopardy.
