One fund-raising drive or 20?
That’s the question facing Denton County which, ‘
for nine years has chosen the wiser, United Fund
way to clear up all fund-raising activities in one
campaign.
But in recent years the United Fund has not been
what clear-thinking Dentonites know it should have
been. This year a revitalized organization is at-
tempting to reverse that trend, and our two univer-
sity presidents have agreed to be the chief officers.
What Denton County needs to do now is to reaf-
firm its stand on the value of a united campaign.
And that’s what a community-wide luncheon Mon-
dayis designed to do.
There will be no solicitation of funds at the Mon-
day luncheon—your presence simply will Indicate

A n Uncertain Science
In his latest press conference, President Ken-
nedy characterized economics as “on uncertain
science.” But, he said, the Administration would
push ahead with its economic program in an at-
tempt to increase the rate of economic growth
and to prevent recurring recessions.
While it is true that results of economic experi-
ments can’t be forecast by the experimenters with
any certainty, economic history gives us some
pretty clear notions of cause and effect. The
president’s economic plans are less experimental
than they are imitative of unsuccessful schemes
which have troubled our own and other nations in
the past
Huge spending programs accompanied by fed-
eral deficits or higher taxes, increased governmen-
tal controls, a “planned economy” directed by bur-
reaus which work from figures that are out of
date before they are even compiled, do not con-
stitute experiments at all. We and others have
tried these things before. The results have been
quite certainly poor.
It is true thst central planning may suppress the
business cycle, as it has for some years in Russia.
This cannot work well in the United States because
our progress must depend upon innovation while
the Russians can progress for many years to come
by mere imitation. ।
/ 1
If we suppress the business cycle, we run the
risk of shearing off the peaks rather than lifting
the objectionable valleys. Our worst post-war re- ।
cession would look like the wildest prosperity to ,
any Iron Curtain population, or even to socialized <
England.
The nations which are thriving and growing to-
day at rates faster than Russia’s, both in Europe <
and in the Orient, are those whose governments ]
have rejected controlled economies and inflationary
spending. The certainty of this should be evident i
even to a New Frontier economist. ,
There is no excuse for patterning our programs -
after the mistakes of the laggards.
