THE u. S. DOLLAR

There are conflicting reports concerning
the soundness of the u. S. dollar and the
trend these days as far as the flow of gold
from the United States aboard is slowing.
There are certain statistics which apparent
ly prove this point. On the other hand, the
financial crisis is being viewed with some
alarm in Europe.
The stock markets in various European
countries and the behavior of the dollar,
have reflected nervousness in recent months.
Of course, partly countering that-at this
time-is the boom developing in the United
States Continued strikes, or other economic
dslocations, could affect this, but right now
the picture is one of optimism as American
business bOOmS
Certain observations seem to be appar-
ent. First, interest rates cannot continue to
be raised much longer. Second, the public
debt must be stabilized soon. Thirdly, the
cost of living cannot be allowed to rise too
fast, or even significantly in the immediate
future. Fourth, business must be kept NOV
ing at good pace, since the cost of defense
and the cost of government, in general is
extremely high.
The reader may judge the situation for
himself, keeping the above four factors in
mind. If interest rates are pushed up high
er, or if the business boom fades, or if infa-
tion runs rampant, then the country is al
most certainly headed for trouble. 1t is GER
tainly acurate to say that wise government
and economic management is necessity at
the present moment, and every American has
an obligation to do what he can to help facili-
tate safe passage through the dangerous
financial waters which appear on all sides
and this goes for business, labor, public off,
cials, and every citizen.

OUR CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM
NEEDS MORE COMPETITION

1 am sorry to nnd this state or
affairs in Sweden. Government
operated businesses need the COM
petion of privately owned, fairly
taxed competition But our pri-
vately owned companies also need
more competition as they become
bigger. This is especially true Of
the "Dow-Jones Industrial" con-
Germs, which have recourse to un-
limited capital. We further. can
get the worlds best managers,
since we can pay very high salar-
ies.. This, however, is not healthy.
Our nation needs small busi-
nesses', just as a church needs a
Sunday School. Yet our good exec
utives are being forced into the
professions and government jobs
because of the very high taxes
levied on "big business"
Not only does the Swedish sys-
tenn lack the incomes to attract
good managers, but Sweden is los
ing its best mechanics and arti-
sans. Khrushchev may see this
danger ahead for Russia. 1t may
be his reason for keeping his
workers at home and not letting
them see how much better they
could live in the United States than
in Russia. This may be one rea-
son why the Communistic nations
want to make the whole world
communistic,-namely, to prevent
the moving of their best people to
so-called capitalistic country
where business is privately owned.

THIS N THAT
by hazel

A MORNING PRAYER
Let me today do something that
shall take
A little sadness from the worlds
vast store,
And may I be so favored as to
make
OF joys too scanty sum a little
more.
Let me not hurt, by any selfish
deed
Or thoughtless word, the heart
of foe or friend;
Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy
need,
Or sin by silence where I should
defend.
However meager be my worldly
wealth,
Let me give something that
shall aid my kind
A word of courage or a thought of
health
Dropped as pass, for troubled
hearts to find.
Let me tonight look back across
the span
'Twixt dawn and dark and to my
conscience say,
Because of some good act to beast
or man,
The world is better that I lived
today"
