BIGNESS MAKES AMERICA
BY DR.. Alfred P. Haake, noted
economist, public relations con-
sultant, author and lecturer.)


BY DR., Alfred p. Haake, noted
economist public relations con
sultant, author and lecturer
Faithful over a few things, he
was made ruler over many things.
That is the lesson from one of the
greatest stories ever told. 1t is the
story of growth from small begin
nings to greater things, from hum
bic stature to responsible leader
ship. 1t is the reward for steward
ship accepted and discharged in
good faith and service.
1t is the core of what made and
still makes America 1t is typified
in the legends of Horatio Alger
1t reminds us of the poor Danish
boy who came to America and
lifted himself to the presidency of
what he helped build into the great
est industrial corporation in the
world.
They came to us by hundreds
and thousands, seeking in America
the opportunities denied them at
home. Out of them arose business
leaders, educators, scientists, politi-
cal leaders. preachers, Judges and
host of successful men and wom-
en-, thanks to the magic of jobs
well done that lead from small be-
ginnings to greater things.
The spirit of Horatio Alger, pa
iron saint of the ambitious Ameri-
can youth, has his detractors, now
: as then, of course. Some of us like
the benefits of service from big
ness, even as we envy and would
tear down the men who made it
big for us. Let man lift his head
above the level of the commonplace
and he becomes target for brick
bats from those who were unWill-
ing to pay the price he paid in
faith and work.
There are the pseudo champions
for the underdog who would pun
ish the successful by limiting them
to the status or returns of the less
efficient What they really resent
is their own smallness, which they
hope to hide by reducing those who
have grown out of their Smallncss.
Bigness becomes a sin in their
eyes, sin which they would cor
rect in the same way that we might
equalize a ball game by allowing
the better team only two strikes

"Our
Growing Edge
MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY

An Evaluation of American Women
We hear much today of how
people in other lands feel about us
here in the United States. Some
times the things we read disturb
us, and make us wonder why we
have become the unpopular folks
we are pictured to be.
Recently, l read an article by a
French woman, which gives an in
sight in the difference of our
thinking in this country and in
Europe, especially as it effects
women.
She relates that she had been
born in France, educated in Swift
erland, and had spent some
time living in England, after her
marriage to an American. She is
soon to realize her greatest ambi-
ton, that of becoming a full
Pledged American citizen.
Going back to her life in Europe.
she relates that she had always
heard American women criticized
abroad for many things, among
them being our superficiality, our
weakness. our softness, our inabili-
ty to cope with trouble and TRACE
dy. She had come to believe those
things until she met many Ameri-
can women, and reached some con-
illusions of her own of the reasons
for those criticisms. She believes
that European women so often feel
they are losing their place as a
symbol of all that is womanly.
Still tied to a great extent by iron
traditions and weighed down by
tired concepts of femininity, they
see their American sisters enjoy
ing a new freedom in the home,
with men, with work and in play.
In her opinion, they look with envy
at our freedom, and she goes on
to say that we should recognize
this and forgive them when we see
this jealousy in European women.
She had always been told that
American women were superficial,
unused to hardship, unable to
handle themselves, either emotion
ally or practically when real
tragedy strikes.
She says, 4 have found nothing
further from the truth about them.
| know one whose husband was
paralyzed and who took over his
business; another whose only child
lovely little boy, was killed, and
who now devotes her leisure hours
to boys club work: still another
who lost her sight and whose cour-
age is a constant source of inspir.
alton and help to those around
her.
She is glad to see our American
women having fun, and she be
lieves that because of their insist
ence on fun. on the simple joys OF
existence they are essentially
deeper than European women anc
better able to cope with tragedy
when it does strike. She tells OF
her learning how to play tennis, tC
bowl, to take part in all kinds Of
sports and how it added to hel
own dimensions of living,
This next one she lists is the
most amazing one of all. Have We

land of our materialistic outlook,
how everything we hold dear has
a price tag of dollars and cents on
it? She heard the same thing in
Europe how the women of our
land are just that way Yet, she
says. in her opinion that is not true.
She believes because the Ameri-
can woman has things in great
plenty, she has been able to af-
ford to look beyond them to the
more important things. She gives
these examples: She values more
her relationship with her husband
than she does his job and his pay
check; she cares far more whether
her children are healthy and hap
py than whether they have as many
toys as the children next door.
In France the father is dominant
in the family; the woman tends to
be in the background In America,
she has taken up our thinking, and
goes on fishing trips with her hus-
band and sons. plays tennis with
them. She says she is not the frag-
lie doll her mother was, neither
is she drudge in the kitchen, but
has become in every sense an
! American mother, and glories in it.
She concludes her article in this
way: American women have given
me a new dimension in my life, a
new individuality, a chance to live
up to the real potentialities l have
felt within me. And my gratitude
to them shall be boundless forever.
How nice to hear us spoken of
in such a friendly manner.

The major rebel activity-some
Of the worst in recent months
centered in the Ain Temouchent
area, so miles southwest of Oran
and within 100 miles of the
Moroccan border.
Following their regular prac-
tice, the rebel bands cut telephone
and telegraph communications
before they invaded the rich
farm area. Details therefore
were few.
A running battle at the week
end between rebels and French
troops is reported to have cost
the lives of 80 nationalist and

council of NATO into top-level
form is only one of several alter
natives which the United States
would be willing to support.
No Loss of Sovereignty
1t is emphasized that this
proposal would involve no sur
render of sovereignty by the
NATO states. The role of the
council would be purely advisory
and on the planning level. 1t
should also. as the secretary sees
it, conf1ne itself largely to polit-
ical questions rather than eco
nomic ones.
The proposal offers a useful
line Of approach to the three
wise men"-a committee con-
sisting of Foreign Ministers
MARITIME of Italy. LANCE of Nor
way, and Pearson of Canada
appointed by the council to
develop practical suggestions for
enlarging the scope and useful
ness of NATO. The committee
members will spend the summer
consulting with various NATO
governments and report back to
the ministers in the fall.
How much enthusiasm there
will be for the Dulles suggestion
is open to question. The impress
sion is that a number of minis
tiers who willingly offer lip sery-
ice to the idea of consultation
and unity are likely to be
Squeamish when it comes to
practical measures to achieve
it. Still as it becomes clearer
that the survival of NATO-to
say nothing of the survival of
the West-depends on finding a
common approach to major
problems, the American proposal
might take hold.

promotion program ITSELF"
Mr.. Mitchell said in some
situations a vacancy-posting sys-
TEN may be necessary, but not at
the Labor Department which he
said had an adequate promotion
system The Secretary said a
promotion program can only be
successful 'if supervisors at all
levels believe in the program
and support it. Supervisors will
support a promotion program
only If it operates to produce
good people to fill Job vacancies
with a minimum of delay. No
amount of administrative ma
chinery, no matter how elaborate,

case"
Legislation has been intro
Iduced in Congress to establish
merit promotion boards in each
Federal agency and require the
posting Of job vacancies.

Iflenerally appreciated by the
American public than they some
times realize. President Harold

DR.. DoddS noted. He praised the

OF NATO to the point where il
would play a vital role in de-
veloping common policies on the
major problems confronting the
community.
This, it seems, is Secretary
Dulles answer to generally
recognized need for broader and
more frequent consultation be-
tween NATO members on the
political level. 1t is one Of the
very few practical suggestions to
emerge from the meeting along
this line.
AS Secretary Dulles sees it, the
role of the new political plan

cal staffs. its job would be to

In an effort to find a common

which threaten now to weaken

political field.
Other Major Problems
Secretary Dulles is known to
feel that problems of North
Africa, Cyprus and the Middle
East present dangers which the
Atlantic community can no
longer safely sweep under the
carpet. He has been impressed
by the lack of opportunity at
these meetings of the foreign
ministers to do more than men
ton them. There's no time TO
thresh questions out thoroughly
or indulge in the kind of debate
which might lead to a common
policy.
AS for the present council. il

lem. Convened primarily as q

ture, 1T has confined itself al

Ambassadors and often are not

Secretary Dulles went in outlin-
ing this proposal to the other

is that in the formal sessions

out the urgent need for greater
unity within NATO and the in
