BabsOn Discusses What Is STRENGTH?

Babson Park. Mass. Jan. 8.
shall begin the New Year by discuss
ing something far more important
than stocks, bonds, real estate, OF
mortgages My text will be the
slogan which President Eisenhower
brought back from Paris, namely
Strength with Peace
What is strength? We all know
that it consists Of something far
more than and very different from
guns. navies, airplanes, or missiles
Yet these are the things that We
read about chiefly in the news
papers and magazines. This is the
strength which physicists. engi.
neers, and metallurgists are called
TO Washington to discuss.
This situation must be changed
Yet. my able friend President Kill
liam Of my Alma Mater-th Mas
sachusetts Institute OF Technology
has been brought to Washington
amid much applause to aid in pro-
ducing such material strength, not
the real strength. This whole trend
seems cockeyed to me. Neither
America nor Russia will win with
this kind Of strength. I am very
serious about this.
Real Strength Comes From What?
Real strength comes from Cour-
age, Faith, Hardness, and Rejoic-
ing in Sacrifice Have we got this
strength? Are any civil men being
called to Washington to instill this
strength in our people? Our un-
balanced setup is foolish and
dangerous. More scientists will not
