 If labor will realize that there are fields in which management must remain supreme, then America S productive machinery will smoothly. But if labor insists-as it sometimes does-that it knows about management than management knows, then the wheels will cease to turn unemployment and depression will result.

LIBERALISM

Back in America's colonial days before the Revolutionary war when everybody was underprivi- legged, there were only three free doms. Everybody had right to work hard, save as much as he could of his earnings, and use his head as profitably as possible in business. If you have taste for long words you might call the three freedoms industry, frugality, and ingenuity.
 Politics in those days were all full of rich-man vs. poor man problems, same as now. They were, to be sure, better decorated

Opposed to these power-hungry folk were the liberals, still plug ging for personal liberty.
 Liberals Won Out
 The liberals were right. Time has proved beyond a doubt that people act better and live better and make more progress materi- ally and spiritually when they have more freedom. Since the United States became first-class power in record time, the worlds wealthiest and happiest people, the word "liberaP' has been popu- lar here. A liberal, to us, is one who wants the individual to be free.
 Through the same historic peri ods America has had reactionar- ies. They were the people, in colonial days, who wanted the king to rule them. After the Rev. olution, the same element wanted an iron-clad rule in Washington something like dictator. Small wonder that reactionaries have always been unpopular in Amer ica, people who howl against the system and try to grab power for themselves.
 Try 10 Swap Labels
 Reactionaries in America today are smart. They have learned one lesson well. They are very sure of one thing: they have a bad name. They know also that the word "liberaP is an asset. Accordingly they have adopted the term "lib- eralism" and call themselves lib- erals. This is the same political element that supports more gov- ernment rules and less liberty for individuals.
 By the same strategy, this polit- ical element has begun to call peo- pie reactionaries who hold pre- cisely to the liberal teachings of Thomas Jefferson. Don't let any body tell you that government control of everything, and the de- struction of individual freedom and opportunity, is the liberalism that Americans think so highly of nor that it is liberalism at all. It is counterfeit road sign de- signed to misdirect American thinking away from the ways of froaJoyo

and to teachers alike. There had
been meetings and discussions,
and wherever older people gath

To Hugh, and to other men his

fine new paved highway that ran
mile or so westward of River

had been closed and suffered.
Yet now, here and there would be
found a place where the main

a dine and dance" place. The
decorations were beyond the
means of the original owners: the
dance floors were good: the "juke
boxes" We're big and aamboyant
and equipped with the hottest
of new records. The food served
was fairly good. but not good
enough TO justify the sudden and
rather startling prosperity the
places were enjoying.
Back in the mountains, slat-
ternly farms with only small
patches of land hardly suitable
for growing anything at all, and
that seemed to produce nothing
but corn, wore suddenly a touch
of that same air of new and
rather amazed prosperity. Sec
