LABOR-MANAGEMENT DISPUTES o The most serious feature of the unprecedented j -wave of labor-management disputes which have dis rupted postwar reconversion is the almost complete disregard for the public welfare. This is a thieat not generally or fully recognized. In our complex society the public has a right to de mand that adequate production and services be main tained to meet its needs. Neither labor nor industry have recognized their responsibility to the public. It is high time that the public assert its rights. The is sue is crucial to our national welfare. The strike situation means more than men out of work; more than consumers doing without badly needed goods more than threatened inflation or de flation. It means that there has developed in this country on a very large scale an entirely new philoso phy, akin to the syndicalism which was a leading fac tor in the collapse of France and Italy. It could de stroy the principles upon which our American econo my has been built. . . The philosophy which approves slowdowns, limita tions on output, or the employment of unneeded or “stand-by workers” endangers free society. The slo gan, “Fifty-two hours pay for forty hours work,” is shocking to one who believes in fair exchange values, raid smacks of reliance on monopolistic control. The hundreds of brief demonstration strikes, in connec tion with the major existing strikes, are nothing less than a threat to the American people to exercise such control. On the other hand, industry has no right to burden the public with unreasonable profits or unreasonable ■charges for its services, under the guise of “free en terprise.” This can become even more oppressive to the general public than labor abuses. This situation cannot be met by pointing out that the American system has provided the highest stand ards of living on earth; that the average American workingman is infinitely better off than working men anywhere else on earth; and that we should not tinker with an economy which has produced such re sults. Throughout the mature lifetime of a majority of our vigorous young men, much political capital has “been made of preaching class suspicion and class dis trust. Workmen have been taught that employers are antagonistic to their employes. Sit-downs, work stoppages, and slow-downs have become commonplace procedures, and the fundamental principle that in come can come only from prduction has been almost completely lost to view. It is an ugly situation, but it exists. :..,' ,. ;j&j§g£«B&j ’ •■■.•>* s>y- ■'<s&&& FUTURE FARMERS AT WHITE HOUSE . . .

Grady Hardin. In a world where men move with the speed of sound, and * events pile one on top of another { 1 with unbelievable rapidity we are • inclined to stand by indifferently, c feeling that there is nothing, for 1 us to do. National and interna- j J tional leaders are gaining power,' and our lives are governed more 1 and more from the far-off cent- '• ers of federal governments; so it ' is natural that we feel that we are ' worth very little. After all, what ! can one man do in the face of all the changes that take place? What is one man worth when our • ■world thinks in terms of millions j ' and billions? This is a feeling that is common to practically all pepole, and it will run us insane if we let it get the upper hand | in our thinking. The teachings of Jesus antici i pate just such an attitude, for' men have felt this way for ages. Jesus teaches that the individual is important—more important than anything else in all the world. This does not mean that Chris- j i tianity teaches that we must be; individualists who can do as wej please. It means that we can be individuals who can find their best | lives by losing their selfish lives. But in discovering God we discov er that he does care for us as in i dividuals; and individually we i amount to a great deal. Why? ! Because God has made all men in his image and has given to each man the possibilities of life that is of infinite worth. Each of us j can discover eternity and live in terms of that which is eternal. A man is important individually be cause he is immortal. When na | tions are dead, when the flags that mean so much today are kept in museums as relics of a distant clay, when powerful interests are long forgotten; you as an indi vidual will still be living in etern ity. i This is an important part of the t teachings of Jesus, it is an im . portant part of a Christian’s . do, for we do amount to some . faith. There are things we must f thing in the mind of God. The franking privilege, right of t sending mail free of charge, was - first granted in the United States - to soldiers in the revolutionary war. Our Short Sermon o I Have Faith In God, and In His Plan of Good for Me and For All Mankind. o Now that the war is ended and the world is shifting back to nor malcy, here and there we hear fearful persons expressing dread of the changes that the future may bring. Do not allow yourself | to fall into this line of thought, j ' The world does stand on the f threshold of a new day, but it is | a gloriuos day, filled with un- j dreamed-of possibilities. Do not | dread the changes that an evolv-i j ing world must pass through. j j Know that mankind is moving in-; | to greater good, and do not name; | as difficult any of the experiences j I through which it may pass in at- | taining this greater good. | As you go forward confidently I with your hand in God’s know j that your life is divinely ordered | and that your path is one of se- I renity. Rejoice in the peace of ] the world. Rejoice in the good | | that awaits mankind as step by j I ! step it moves into the light of a : new day. Have faith that the ! race is going forward, that every ! change is for the better, that God ! has only good for His children. According to your faith be it done unto you.—Matt. 9:29.
