Building For An
Abundant Economy

| Our Nation, without question, is at
| the threshold of producing an abund-
ance for all-new modern homes, flashy
autom obileS, a shorter work week, long
er vacations, and higher education for
our youth. Yet, we as a nation are
most bewiIdered about our future and
about the policies we should follow for
the realizatin of this great life of
abundance.
Many of our present policies and
practices are in accordance for great
production and the distribution of that
production. However, on the other
hand, some of our present economic
policies are not practical and are
against the realization of this abund-
ance. Therefore, whether we like it or
not, sooner or later, we are going to
be forced to make some fundamental
changes regarding these policies.
Our greatest confronting obstacle
toward developing an abundance for all,
is the belief that our economic world
is an unsolvable economy-impos ossfble
to make things harmonize. The truth
is: lit is our poor economic manage
ment which is making things so con-
fuSing, so complicated and unwork-
abler' The world that God has given
us is perfect. 1t will produce an album
dance in an easy and harmonious man
ner, if we will only eradicate ourselves
of our old greed and selfishness-build

1t is imperative that we cooperate

for greater production and services,
but also for more equitable distrfbu-

services. We must practice more mod |

Surplus Children

WASHINGTON, D. C.-If there is
hooliganism IN the cities this summer
and racial unrest between white and
Negro youngsters, there may be
causes other than the absence of civil
rights legislation.
A major contributing factor may
be the failure of the President to stir
Congress or Systematically to acquaint
the general public with what is hap
pening in the American school system.
This summer there are about 700,-
900 young people out of work, many
in the hot, steaming cities. There are
some sectors of the economy where
the demand for skilled labor exceeds
the supply, but that affects very few
of these 100000. They are out of
work because they are under-edu-
Gated. Many simply have no skills. In
fact they do not know how to do
anything.
In the early spring there was an
interview in a national newSweekly
with a Washington, d. G. school Off
cial. The reporter had heard many
many children were leaving school,
Ouly Lew SCcpS OSyOiAu iiiltSI dSy.
He asked if it were possible for a

The embattled school official re-
piled that some of the slower children
might graduate from high school with
the reading ability of sixth graders.
He called this Functional level".
What it means is that these days a
youngster can get high school di-
ploma if he has merely stayed out of |
trouble, obeyed the orders of his
teacher, and kept quiet. 1t does not
necessarily mean that he can do any
thing

Economy Found
No Peace Barrier

The ability of the United States to
disarm without experiencing economic
collapse has been expressed by two
leading economists.
The economists-Dr. Emil Benoit
of Columbia and DR.. Kenneth Bould-
ing of the University of Michigan
detailed their views in recent study,
Disarmament and the Economy.
The study admitted that the eco
nomic consequences of disarmament
might be disastrous if handled un-
wisely but said that this is only a
Small obstacle on the path to peace.
They said that preparation for peace
offers economic opportunity mo less
attractive than preparation for war.
The people's voice., 1963-07-05

The study of economics is withalI a
fascinating and complicated one and
the student in his efforts to reduce it
to fundamentals is often confronted
with a paradox, two staements both
apparently accurate yet contradicting
each other. This I anticipate, in my
statement regarding PRIVATE OWN
ERSHIP of land. And / ask the reader
to remember that under the term
LAND include ALL natural resources.
Now, to state the paradox, there is
and logically can be no such thing
ABSOLUTE private ownership of LAND.
either theologically or economically,
and WHY?
If we accept the Biblical story of
creation Gan account which / neither
affirm or deny since / wasn't present,
1t being several million years prior to
my time but which will use simply as
an illustration for this argument) then
and being the Creator could assign the
earth In whole or part to whomsoever
he desired. Consequently when an indi-
vidual or group tells me that he or
they own any portion thereof ask for
the abstract of title and insist that II
go back o he original deed, signed by
God and Witnessed before a notary pub
lie and to verify that 1 want the name
and address of the notary public. Thus
far no one has been able to supply such
an abstract. So no private ownership
on that score.
Now, on the economic angle: Under
an organized government there still is.
and should be no absolute private own
ership of land.
If you occupy farm or city prop
erty and THINK you own that particu-
lar piece of land, just refuse to pay
taxes levied upon it for a period of
time (I think in Montana it is three

Immediately convince you that you do
not OWN it ABSOLUTELY. So we see
that the taxes you have paid (ostensibly
as your contribution to the expense of
government) are really just anther
name for RENT, or in other words a
tribute to the government for guaran-
teeing your right to unmolested Occu-
pancy and use of that land.
So much for the paradox of appar-
emily contradictory statements. But it
serves to illustrate my statement that

the impression that there should right

strations. But that depends not on
the Negroes alone, but also on Con-
gress.
In explaining why the jobless white
man could also benefit by the Civil
Rights Act, Negro leader of emil
nence put it this way:
"These days when a Negro is
thrown out of work, he yells preju-
dice. He gets mad and all hell breaks
loose. But when a white man is out
of a job, he seems resigned to it and
says it happened because of auto
nation"
When men are working and well
fed, personal grievances and even de-
nial of civil rights may not seem
pressing. But when idleness puts men
on the streets, there is danger.
From the tenor of his message it
seems clear that Mr.. Kennedy now
appreciates this fact of life. He
was right to propose an omnibus
bill, including education and voca-
tional training, along with voting
rights and the public accommoda-
tions provisions.
IF we are to avoid violence in the
streets, we had better get the un-
black and white, off the
streets.

have not gotten into serious trouble
Within the next five years, in
| the judgment of experts, there will
| be a million unemployed youngsters
| and at the present slow growth of
| the economy there will be total
unemployment of ID million. Since
it seems quite likely that Negro
children will be most severely af-
| fected, we may look forward to an
unhappy mixing of demonstrations
by the unemployed along with racial
strife.
What is the administration doing
about it?
The answer is hardly anything.
There are two rather inadequate bills,
one to set up a Youth Conservation
Corps and the other would establish
a program for Youth Area Employ
ment. The YCC would provide jobs
for $1,000 youngsters in its first
year, with an eventual maximum of
10000. The area program provides
for $4,000 jobs at the most.
These figures might seem impress
sive were it not recalled that in the
days of the New Deal, the Civilian
Conservation Corps put 100000
young men to work in the forests, and
on related projects when the popu-
lation was considerably smaller.
Worthy as these bills are, the pro-
posed legislation barely begins to
nibble at the big problem.
Prof. James S. Coleman of the De-
partment of Social Relations at Johns
Hopkins University, writing in the
NATION on the problem of unem-
ployed youngsters, inter-relates their
with the lag in education.
One reason for the slow growth of
the economy he asserts, is the slack
of highly educated persons. Some of
those with good education are earn
ing more than they need while many
others earn far less than their needs. |
If the school system were function
ing properly, he maintains, things |
could be different and:
:" the supply of highly edu-
Gated would match the high de-
mand; salaries in that sector would
decline to more normal levels, and
the number of jobs would increase;
productivity would increase; and
the labor pressure would move off
the oversupplied occupations

Poverty Knows No Color

WASHINGTON, D. C.-After the
narrow margin of John F. Kennedy's
election in 1860, many individuals
and organizations felt that the Presi-
dent "owed" them his victory and
they came to collect.
1t was SO close, of course, that
every mans vote counted and almost
anyone's failure to go to the polls
could have changed the result. Many
Negro leaders felt that the help given
by the Rev. Martin Luther King was
decisive. Certainly Richard Nixon had
cause to regret that he made no phone
call to Mrs. King to express sympathy
over the minister's arrest.
But when the balance sheet of the
Kennedy years is drawn up, it may
turn out that JFK-and all the rest of
us-are deeply in the Negroes debt
for something that cannot be meas
ured by any political yardstick. The
year 1868 may be remembered as the
time when Rev. King, Roy Wilkins,
James Farmer, Louis Martin, James
Meredith, and other prominent Me-
groes performed a national service
that goes beyond the traditional limits
of equal rights.
The results are to be seen in the
message Mr.. Kennedy sent to the
Congress, proposing the Civil Rights
Act of 1868.
1t is monumental message, the
composite work of Ted Sorensen and
others on the White House staff, who
worked in close collaboration with
Burke Marshall and his associates in
the Justice Department.
What makes it monumental is
not merely that it delineates the
remedies urgently needed to rectify |
the wrongs that Negroes have so
long suffered. 1t goes to the heart
of the current unrest in the Negro
community.
The fact is that the bulk of Amer
ica's jobless Negroes are not out of |
work only because of color, but pri-
marily because they have been denied |
an adequate education and the op-
portunity to acquire skills.
There are also millions of jobless |
white men. Only they have suffered |
in silence. This, though, is where the
Negro leaders have performed a SER
vice not only for the members of |
their own race, but for the jobless
white man, too.
Had it not been for the protests
of the Negroes, unable any longer to
endure the combined pain of humilia-
tion and joblessness, the whole prob
lem of unemployment in both races
might have been brushed aside. The
tensions would build up and eventual
ly the explosion would be tremendous.
This still remains possibility if the
Congress does not rise to the occasion
as Ms. Kennedy clearly has.
The fact is that the ultimate solu- t
tion to Americas civil rights prob ]
lem is intimately linked with the
economy and the need for expand Y
ing it. 1t is a strange twist of his 7
tory that it should be the restless t
u. S. Negro who has been more t
able to alert the nation to the eco n
nomic aspects of civil rights than +
the traditional liberal organiza-
tions, or organized labor, or the v
leaders of the Democratic and Re- y
publican parties. The reason is j
clear: the Negro lives with the t
problem every day. "
