Today the people of America
must choose the way this nation
shall 60. 1t is the most important
domestic issue facing them. Do they
want an ever-increasing control of
their lives and activities. directed
by a huge bureaucracy from Wash
ington? Does the farmer want to
be told what and how much he shall
sow and reap, when he shall sell
and at what price? Does the in
dustrialist want to operate under
similar controls, being told when
he can operate, what and how much
he shall produce, and at what price
he shall sell his products? Does
the laboring man want dictation by
a government board as to his hours
and wages, and maybe eventually
being told where and when he
shall work?
If the people desire that sort of
government, it is their privilege.
But they should know what they
are getting. You cannot have a
successful planned economy and
free enterprise at one and the same
time.
The hour has come when a deci-
sion must be made.
A reader of this column has mail
ed US an editorial clipped from the
Peoria (nl) Journal Transcript.
The editorial criticizes the govern
ment for having shipped $4,000 pre-
built houses to England and France
last year. 1t argued that these
houses were badly needed in Amer
lea and should have remained here
to tighten the housing shortage.
That contention has some merit
we cannot see that help
ing the rest of the world to get
back on its feet should be too rigor-
ously criticized. In the first place,
we should-be bound by that price
less Christian characteristic to help
the unfortunate ones out of our great
abundance. But aside from the die
tates Of a generous heart, we be-
Ieve that helping to feed and clothe
and house the hungry and cold of
war torn lands is one of the surest
ways to work out a lasting peace.
A reasonable generosity should not
be condemned. 1t is good Christian
ity. 1t is likewise wise statesman
ship.

earth-with the greatest develop
ment, the most stupendous produc-
tive machine-and what is of vastly
greater importance-it has given
us by far the highest standard OF
living in the world. Advocates OF
a free economy must recognize that
there has to be a certain amount
of control but they also recognize
the danger of a sitting regimen
tation that kills initiative and makes
progress all but impossible. They
believe most profoundly that in free
America the best government is
that which governs the least.
It ought not be difficult to see
that a planned economy too often
ends in an implanted scarcity. That
! is evident today. A Well-intended
but bungling government in its at
tempt to hold rigid cotrolS over the
countless activities of huge nation
ends in creating a confusion and
a muddle that retardS the badly
needed reconverSion from war to
peace. That inevitably follows. I'm
practical men with lofty theories
too often get into places of power.
They issue rules and regulations
to govern the life of the nation.
Some of those regulations turn out
in operation to be nothing less than
silly. We have ample evidence of
that today. The result is that the
greatest productive machine on
earth stalls and seems unable to
get under way. And added to this
confusion is an evergrowing bureau
cracy-millions of men and women
in countless government jobs to be
supported by the labor of those who
produce the food and goods the
nation needs.
A planned economy, to be at all
successful, soon ends in a greater
and greater RECOMMENDATION. of the
peoples lives. That inevitably fol-
lows. One sees that condition in its
fullest degree in Russia. That was
testified to by the converted Com
munist in Canada, a former Soviet !
wherein he said that in |
Russia a man is not master of his !
own life, that he lives and works .
under strict orders from a des-
potic government; that if a man
that government he would
be shot.

This is a time of vital decision
for America. The direction we
take will be largely determined
1913. What direction will that be?
1t is of the greatest Importance
that the people of America are in
formed as to the far-reaching con-
sequences of the decision they must
make, and that having that infor-
nation they make proper and
wise choice.
There are two systems of govern
ment contending for favor here in
the United States. One is known
as a planned economy. Under
that system the government plans
and directs to large extent the
lives of the people and the indus
tries of the nation. In any develop
ing society, there must be a con-
siderable amount of control. AS
an example. We are held to GER
tain rules on our highways In
various ways. the rights of the in
diVidual are circumScribed by the
needs Of society as a whole. There
fore, argue the planned economy
advocates, it is equally wise for
the government to take over fur
ther control of the nation and plan
more completely much of the life
and activities of the laboring man,
the farmer, the business man, the
industrialist
Opposed to this conception of the
role Of government are those who
contend for a free economy. They
held that freedom for mans ambi-
tions and abilities found here has,
in the past, made America the
greatest nation on the face of the

Which Way ShoII This
Nation Go? Hour of
Decision IS Here
Bv Charles D. Rowe

It has become a trite expression
to say that a social revolution IS IN
progress throughout the world. 1t
has been under way so many years
that nearly everyone is aware OF
it. In many foreign lands this
social unrest, this reaching up of
the great underprivileged masses
for a higher standard of living, for
a better way of life, has brought
bloodshed and misery.
The United States is far from es-
Gaping this revolution that is af
fecting so many lives. The urge
for human liberty and for greater
opportunity gained a tremendous
impetus because of the American
Revolution. America soon became
known throughout the world as the
beaconhght of liberty and Oppor-
tunity. Thousands .flocked here at
tracted by the hope and promise
of a new and better life. Here
many found that hope fulfilled.
That revolution is still in prog
ress. The yeast of mans discomfort
is stirring the social structure here
in America, as it is elsewhere in the
world. Such a movement must not
be denied. Human society must
make progress. Wrongs must be
corrected. Injustice must give way
TO right. We cannot sit back and
say that because certain practice
or system was good enough for
our forefathers, it is good enough
for US today.
