" On September 3, 1947, the Asso

"This action closed 46 mines in a

Free Work Is Best
For a long time the world has
been plagued with ideas that there
are substitute for work. There will
always be men who can make such
ideas sound pretty good. But the
"'Ideas are just as false as are the
" men who want the political power
' required to put some paper-"plan"
' Into effect. There is no substitute
' for the opportunity of honest work,
under the kind of free economic
"system we have in America. When
some political system calls for all
the economic power it can get, you
may be sure that the common, man
is going to lose out One of the first
i awers sought is the power to eon

a GEORGE & BENSON
MfVaiJKan. Bm, iJ.t U.J:
Shail A- ;a Follow?
Among all the postwar nations, no -countries
have so quickly restored
their productivity without damage
to standards of living as have Can-..
ada and the United States. These
two countries have restored produc-
, tivity to the 1940-tl level and in
many uidustries nave surpassed:
this level It is no coincidence that
xecent New York Times 22-nation
survey showed that except in Can-
ada and the United States, the trend
is toward government management
of industry.
Countries that are exchanoinc
their freedoms for government con
trols are not making good postwar
records. In general they are the
countries that are crying the loudest
for help from outside. Those nations
which desire to turn everything over
to the government for complete con
trol and management are the Very
countries that are slipping back-,
ward. Still the trend is in that very
direction, toward governmenMnan-,
agement. .
Public Mast Deci4. "
Shall America ultimate! ollow
this trend? In my opinion, the pub
lic in this country has not yet de
cided that issue. There are some
voices crying loudly for government
management Even our Attorney
General points his finger at Ameri
can industry and accuses it of being
responsible for high prices. Political
maneuvers may please critical peo
ple and get votes, but in making
Industry unpopular the way is paved
for replacing our free enterprise
system.
As an educator, I favor that sys
tem which will provide the highest
standards of living for the masses
of the American people. If govern
ment management of our industries
would provide higher wages, more
productivity and greater purchasing
power for each dollar spent, then
certainly I would be in favor of it j
Actually, our system of private en
terprise has put America far ahead
of other nations that have tried any
thing else. .
Act With Wisdom ,
There are other dividends offered
by the American Way. We have
freedoms. We can work at what we '
please, where we choose. We can
speak our minds, assemble in
groups as we care to. These free
doms and other liberties we did not .
have under the control of despotic
and dictatorial governments in pre
vious centuries. Why, ever, should
we want to follow a trend that leads .
us backward toward new despotism '
and loss of personal freedoms?
The experience of England should
make us pause and think seriously.
Those freedom-loving people have
not rouna government management
an asset Their coal production has ;
been extremely disappointing under ;
government management - Ration- -ing
has become more and more '
severe. Burdens of the people have
become more and more heavy. To. ..
day, the very future of England is
threatened by strict government j
regulation and management of in- -dustry.
. -h ; '.t.:"'V ?
In this dark hour, Irishmen
should study their own history. They
will find that whenever their Individ-'
ual freedoms were greatest it was '
then their prosperity was the most
genuine., If we in America think
soberly and 'act in our best inter
ests, we-win ot with wis' -n t
