* The American Way Xxx

any peaceful purpose, to be
secure in his possessions and
to have his day in a free court.
1t recognizes that the indi~
vidual is superior to the State,
that our public officials are
servants of the people and that
they derive their just powers
from the consent of the people.
These things taken togeth-
er created the atmosphere of
freedom and an economic cli-
mate which made possible in
the United States the greatest
production of wealth in the
history of the world and the
establishment of standard
of living which is the envy of
all other nations in the world.
''In short, the American Way
of Life is the greatest blessing
ever bestowed on mankind any
place on the face OF the earth"
At the tina Dewitt Emery
pave this .ption of ''The
American Way" as he viewed
il, he was greatly disturbed at
the trend in the U.S.A. away
from the basic principles that
had made this country stand
out among the worlds family
of nations. He was concerned
about the ever-i increasing dis
couragement to individual
thrift, initiative and enterprise
and the ever growing doctrine
emanating from Washington
that Americans no longer are
capable of doing things for
themselves and that a pater-
nalistic government must,
therefore, do those things for
them.
With all the vigor he could
command, and he was endowed
with plenty of it, on the public
platform, over the radio and
in his writings, he warned his
fellow Americans that unless
the tide to Socialism was stem
med, the time was not far
hence, when they could no
longer point with pride to the
American Way of Life as 1.-The
greatest blessing ever bestoW-
ed on mankind any place on
the face of the earth"
When death stilled his voice
''The American Way" lost one
of its greatest champions. We,
his former associates, deter
mined to increase our efforts
toward salvaging what remains
of 'The American Way" and
toward recapturing what al
ready had been lost; to the end
that The Greatest Blessing
shall once again be the COM
fort and JOY of every one OF
our American people.

Dewitt Emery was president
of the National Small Business
Mems Association, which or
ganization he founded, until
his untimely passing in August
of 1855. He was nationally re-
cognized as the voice of small
business in its struggle for
existence during the depres-
sion years of the 1905 and
during World War II. For the
benefit of Canadians who may
read this column, the word
Canadian" can we'll be sub
stituted for the word "Amer-
ican," in Emery's short, simple
but lucid essay on the Ameri-
can Way of Life, which was
carried in his column release
of September 10, l945, and
which read as follows:
Our American Way of Life
is made up of many things
bath tubs and automobiles: big
cities and small towns; farms
and victory gardens; mann
moth steel mills and village
machine shops; colossal eG
tional institutions and th2 II le
red school house beside the
road; churches and hospitals;
railroads and air lines; chew
ing gum and ice cream; de-
partment stores and crossroad
general stores; specially shops
and beauty parlors; pool
room and race tracks; Holly
wood, Broadway and the High
School play; laughter and sor-
row; eagerness and despair;
and people millions of all
kinds of people-gathered to-
gether from the four corners
of the earth, drawn by the
magnet of Freedom, Opportu-
nifty and Justice.
"Our American Way of Life
provides each Individual an
opportunity to go as far and
climb as high as his willing
ness to work, his skill, ingen-
uity and integrity will carry
him.
Our American Way of Life
recognizes that the individual
has the right to work when and
where he wishes, the right to
worship as he pleases, to speak
his mind on any subject, tc
meet with his fellow men fol

THE GREATEST BLESSING
BY George Peck

a reader has written me
requiring as to just what do
we mean by "The American
Way" which banner is car
ried at the top of my weekly
column and the columns of
my associates, Willis E. Stone,
John T. Flynn, Maurice r.
Franks, DR.. Alfred P. Haake,
and M. V. Egglestone, and at
the top of the cartoons drawn
by Tom Kay.
It's a good question-one
that each of us has attempted
to answer from time to time
over the years that our
columns have been released to
newspapers throughout the
United States. But, perhaps the
best answer was given by the
late Dewitt Emery deceased
1850, who for many years be-
fore his death, wrote a column
under the heading THE Amer
lean Way"
