OTIS MAHLOWE Editor Vol. XII Monday, May 31, 1954, No. 22 from ' (ThtBlU* 1/ God be for us, who can bm again$t us?-~(Roman$ 8i31). In these days of crisis, we can take courage and comfort from that thought; but we must not rest complacent and content in it. How. we should ask ourselves, can God be for us if we, as individuals and E nation, are not for Him in all we do and tnink? * Service Anniversaries Twenty-Five Years T. Moody Mason Blanket Henry D.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Sally Jane Lawless who died May 7. 2 ^'The American Economic System^^ For almost all of the 6,000 years of recorded history, literally starved to death in every land on earth. In many a great number still starve. We in the United States are so having enough to eat that we forget that a large part of the in the world go to bed hungry every night. We forget that ours is the only large group of people in the world who have never famine. There’s a reason for this. The reason is not natural resou or physical or mental superiority over other peoples. After ^ Americans stem from every race and every country in the wo from nations which have more natural resources than we do. But our ancestors were effectively able to develop and use ure’s resources only after they left their native lands and nat" ;rated Why do we own three-fourths of the world’s automobiles ■ to America. And they did this in the United States while fewer hours than they had worked back in “the old country- only one-fifteenth of the world’s people, why do we own one- all the telephones and radios, and drink one-half of all the co With only one-sixteenth of the world’s land area, why do three-fourths of all television sets, and consume two-thirds o world’s oil and silk? There’s a reason for this, all right. It is the simple reason free market economy, or comparatively free. Unfortunate market has never been completely free from governmental^ ference, and it is becoming less free every year. Thus we ^ less productive and prosperous than we could have been; long as the various restrictions against trade continue, we wil as prosperous as a free people could be. of But even so, our people generally have had more free choice in buying, selling, producing, pricing, competing, g#' worshipping, joining, saving, investing, earning, losing, and o ing than have the people of other lands. That’s the reason—^the only reason—we have better care and recreational facilities, as well as better education, jji housing, better clothing, than any other major group of P®P^ gpiJ the world. It is the consequence of individual freedom of choi personal responsibility for one’s own decisions and welfare. It is true that material possessions—cars, bathtubs, planeSi^^gii such—are secondary to the spiritual results of freedom, so, a plentiful supply of food, clothmg, and housing is of portance.
