THAT have limited free-wheeling
capitalism. In addition, the worker,
the farmer, the consumer and
others have made their opinions
felt SO that the government has
vast control powers over prices,
utilities, transportation, foods and
drugs, and many more things
which further tend to restrict the
capitaliStic economy. The point
here is not whether these things
sl1e right or wrong but that
capitalism as such does not exist
anywhere in the world.
What does exist? No one has
arrived at a good answer as yet.
Some economists have referred to
it as state capitalism, a regulated
competitive economy, and MANY
other names. Perhaps democratic
capitalism might be considered.
Regardless of the name, the issue
| today is whether u system,
which has provided Americans
with the highest material standard
of living i'm the world, can survive
in competition with the type of
totaitarian economic system
found in the Soviet Union.
These definitions bring into
focus some off the chief problems
of political discussion: namely, the
need to know what is being talked
about in order to avoid attributing
characteristics to men or to groups
that are not true. Furthermore, it
should be clear that while groups
may have some similar character
iSticS, there are differences of
significance which not only set
them apart but may bring them
into conflict. The Importance may
often lie not in what a group is
for or against but in their methods.
In a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the ends
never Justify the means; in a
totalidarian country, they usually
do.
Unfortunately, noisy vocal
amateurs in politics are constantly
arising cn the right or left claim
ing, like am Indian medicine MAN,
to have the cure for all MANS ills.
Ignorant because off lack of i'm
tformation, many normally sound
and rational people believing them
: selves to be in an insecure WORLD
r confused and frightened
5 Catchwords, slogans, innuendoeS
half truths, outright lies, AND
Smears from the amateur quacks
make their impression ON those
seeking minds and, without being
aware eff real cures, individuals
! feel that these charlatanS have the
only answers. The result is g
, movement into the camps of the
. extreme right and left. Among

Childs Arm Turns Hard Stony;
Medical Treatment Slows Process

Christine Versluis, who is
nine and lives on the shores
OF Lake Ontario at Hilton.
NY, is unable to straighten
her right arm because of
rheumatic disease.
Her arm and parts of
both shoulders are becom-
ing increasingly calcifed,
which means change of the
muscle tissue into a hard
stony substance.
This somber-faced child is
the tragic victim of dermato-
myoSitis, one of the forms of
rheumatic disease. Another
form is rheumatoid arthritis.
The majority of people don't
know that children suffer from
arthritiS; they believe mistak-
emily that arthritis affiicts only
the aging-someone's grand
father or grandmother, surely
not the very young.
But there is urgent reason
today why grownups and par
entS especially should be intel
ligently informed about arthri-
tbs among children. DR.. William
S. Clark, director of medical
care of The National Founda-
ton, whose expanded program
embraces arthritiS, birth de-
fectS and continued work in
polio, said this week:
"Rheumatoid arthritis is a
type that can make children
very i'll indeed. They may be-
come severely crippled. Their
joints may freeze Happily,
we can now demonstrate today
that with proper treatment
and care, most of the Gripping
caused by juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis can be prevented"
But the cardinal point, DR..
Clark emphasizes, is that thou
sands of children have rheu-
matoid arthritis without know
ing what the disease they suffer
from really is. Their parents
may dismiss the aching in
neck, knees, wrists or elbows

Joints simultaneously as

The philosophy of Karl Marx
was primarily concerned with
mans desire for material Things;
out of this, he stated. grows the
class struggle between the 'have
l1otS" that resulted in the reVolu-
ton by which the workers seized
power and confiScated all means
of production, distribution and ex-
change, including farms, to pro
vide for the equal distribution of
all goods and services. The move
ment was to culmSlate in a system
of 'ifrom each according to his
ability to each according to his
needs" Marx preached the idea
of world revolution and the
establishment of communism is a
world system. In his later writings
he changed his ideas somewhat by
suggesting that in some advanced
countries such as England a rev.
olution might not be necessary.
With the establishment of COM
munism, Marx believed that after
a short transitional period a class
less society would be established
with the abolition of the bour-
geoisie, or capitalist class. With
the end of class Werfare, there
would be no need for government
and its repressive laws and there
fore, THE state would iWither away.
MARKS ideas were based on
several assumptions that have not
been borne out by later develop
ments. He believed that history
would show that the rich contilu-

ABUNDANT LIFE
DOES IT MATTER?

What if David had said, My
neck is too valuable to risk
under the sword Of such a
mighty warrior as Goliath?
Would it have matteredP
What if Abraham had said,
Ask anything, but do not ask
the life Of my son Isaac?
What if Esther had said, 7
dare not face King Ahasuerus,
for he will destroy me'P
What if the lowly widow had
said, Elijah shall not have the
little measure of meal and oil
which stands between my son
and me and starvation"P
Who would have blamed any
of them for refusal under their
circumstances, and would it
really have mattered if they had
acted otherwise? Does it matter
how you act in your circum-
stances Of life?
We know the great spiritual
significance Of Abraham's will
ingness to kill his own son in
obedience to God. We know the
course Of the history Of the
physical world would have been
changed if Goliath had slain
David. Esther's decision was in
behalf Of a great people. Per
haps, more than they realized
it, we now realize the signifi-
canoe to others of their deci-
sions. But did it really matter?
Couldn't it have been worked
out some other way?
And what about the widow?
Certainly whether the widow
, 1961-01-11
BY ORAL R0g-gI5

lived or died made no difference
historically or otherwise. Why
ask the life of a lowly widow?
Did it really matter that much?
Notice that in each case, God
called for a life. Notice, also, in
each case, that God gave what
He requested. He asked for life,
and He gave life.
If life matters, it matters
what we do about our call from
God.
In the sight Of God, the wild
ows life was as precious as the
life of Isaac. or of David, or of
Esther. If this were not so,
God would not have called for
the life of the widow. If this
were not so, Cod would not call
for you. God calls only to save.
Only precious things are saved.
One soul lost is a tragedy of
momentous concern to that soul
and to Cod. A lost soul is the
greatest of all tragedies because
it is the only thing in existence
which has no remedy. After
death there is no salvation, no
hope for a lost soul.
Whether king or shepherd,
whether mighty or lowly, God
calls for every life in order to
save every soul. The only way
to save your life is to give it to
God. Isaac, David, Esther and
the widow lived long lives on
earth, and they live today be-
cause they trusted. God with
their most precious possessions.
Does it matter? 1t is the one
thing that really does matter.

exclude laundry workers, en-
ployeS Of auto dealers, cotton
ginners and several other
groups from coverage, the ad-
ministration hoped to split the
House coalition Of Republicans
and Southern Democrats.
Concessions were made in a
Senate House conference
which drafted a compromise
bill much closer to the Senate
measure than to the House
version. The Senate was sched-
uled to vote first today on
the conference bill, and House
leaders planned to follow
through before nightfall.
G. o. p. to Fight Bill
The House Republican Policy
Committee yesterday decided
officially to fight to defeat the
conference bill. Rejection Of the
bill in the House would lead to
appointment of new conferees
who probably would be in
structed to stand firm against
the Senate bill.
Representative ByrneS o1
Wisconsin, chairman of the
Policy Committee, said the
Republicans were "unalterably
opposed" to the adminiStra-
tons and Senate's plan tc
extend coverage. He indicated
the G. o. P. would go along
reluctantly with the Senate:
proposed wage scale.
Mr.. Byrnes charged that the
