Nations Make Choices
As drastic and as devastating as
war Is, I am confident that the eco
nomic troubles of many European
countries are not traceable entirely
J
. Tinm
tne aggravations of war. ram-
Ines, wars, oppressions: these are
syrnDtoms. not causes. Certain na-
tions, like Switzerland, fare surpris
ingly well amidst the decay and
chaos so common in Europe. Little
Switzerland is not hollering for help.
She is a free enterprise country.
Of course, Switzerland was not a
belligerent, and hence was spared
some spoilage of war. But now
comes news that Belgium is pros
pering. What is the reason? Belgium
chose a free economic system at
the close of the war, when she might
have taken some foolish panacea.
This little country rightly chose a
system of free" enterprise and ceo
nomic freedom as the system most
likely to bring recovery.
A Practical Way
A reasonable degree of freedom is
enjoyed by the Belgian people. Re
sorts have it that the standard of
living there is well up toward pre- 1
war levels. Newspaper reports have
called attention to Belgium's airline, j
7F
Ml
r r
LD
Sabena, which reported its net
profit for the year at $2,800,000. This
has happened despite the fact it
started out with practically nothing
after the war. The airline had lost
most of its equipment, and had to
get help from the government to go
ahead.
This is high contrast to what is
happening to British airlines. Owned
entirely by the socialist government
and operated by them, the British
airlines find difficulty in keeping
their losses down to that figure. The
difference is that Britain blundered
In choosing, and Belgium chose
''jwisely. Surely the European neigh
bors of Belgium will notice her good
. ! example. Planned economy some
times looks good on paper, but it is
tree economy that permitB people to
,uae their initiative and work out
1 their own salvation.
Matter of Teamwork
I am not at all surprised to hear
these things about Belgium. I was
.there in the summer of 1946. One
, very remarkable thing impressed
' me. And in this there is a lesson
for our own people: labor was at
that tlme cooperating in Belgium
with the management of industry
, and with government, in keeping
prices down. America has not
- achieved that much teamwork, and
v we neS it. Dangers still threaten
. in-the battle against inflation.
' In Belgium, labor leaders were
- saying that it was necessary to in
crease production and thereby bring
down prices rather than put up
wages end keep prices high. They
. reasoned that in the long run this
- would be the best for labor. It is not
- surprising that theirstandard of liv
. ing Is reported good by those who
have recently toured the country.
. Freedom Wins
As a result of that policy, and be
cause she kept her private owner
ship and private management of in-
dustry, Belgium ': has : come, back
; .more rapidly than other European
countries that were hit by war. This
experience is only, another link in
. the strong chain of evidence that
free men working in a free economy
are happier and better off than they
could ever be under some kind of
totalitarian government any kind.
Choosing freedom of enterprise, Bel
gium lias shown wisdom.
