Story With a Moral
Clark Q. Lewis of the Missouri Farm Bur-
eau Federation edits a column called Agri-
culture In Action. Like all columnists, he
comes up with some real gems at times. Here
is his latest which we quote in its entirety:
"Once upon a time there was a farmer who
took the milk produced by two cows and sold
it to a factory worker in a city. With the pro-
ceeds he bought two shirts. So the farmer had
two shirts and the city worker had the milk
from two cows.
"Later, a politician told the farmer he could
get more for his milk if he sold a smaller
quantity. He also told the factory worker that
he should work fewer hours and get more
for his labor. So the next time the farmer
Disarmament
Is Far Away
The final of disarmament looks far away.
Yet. certainly, it must be the goal of all
people everywhere. The money, Jhe energy,
the resources, that are spent on weapons of
unbelievable destructive power, if applied to
useful ends, would create an infinitely bet-
ter world. And. most important of all, it
would remove that terrible question: "Will
someone push the wrong button?"
The nations and peoples of the world stand
on the razor's edge.
It is now known that there has been a tre-
mendous increase in this country's nuclear
capability — which means the ability to blow
up practically everything on earth. A single
nuclear submarine, of the new advanced de-
sign. carries more explosive power in her
warheads than was unleashed in all of World
War II.
It must be assumed that the Soviets have
made comparable progress—if "progress" is
the proper word to apply in this connection.
Extraordinarily elaborate protections have
been taken to guard against the use of the
ultimate weapons because of faulty intelli-
gence, accident, or human aberration and
strain The Soviets, without doubt, have done
the sanie thing. Vet nothing is perfect, noth-
ing can be totally depended upon to perform
as ordered and wished under any and all con-
ditions.

cow. He got as much money for that milk as
he formerly got for the milk from two cows.
But when he went to buy shirts, he found that
the price had doubled so be got only one

Now the farmer had one shirt and the fac-

they hadn't listened to the politician—but had

—each would have had twice as much.

Thoughts On
Foreign Aid
A foreign aid critic recently left us mulling
over this thought:
"Taxpayers will he happy to learn that the
following seven countries have not received
foreign aid from the U. S.: Andorra, Bhutan,
Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Muscat-Oman
and Switzerland."
Somehow this failed to lighten our heavy
hearts as we slipped our income tax returns
into the mail slot.

Not To Restrict
The founding fathers of this Nation designed
the Constitution to create a limited govern-
ment, to protect the Nation not to restrict it.
The.v had no intent of the government going
into business in competition to private enter-
prise or to usurp the rights of States. The
Liberty Amendment restores the intent of the
U. S. Constitution.

While The Public Slept
"Since the general civilization of mankind
1 believe there are more instances of the
abridgement of the freedom of the people by
gradual and silent encroachments of those in
power than by violent and sudden usurpa-
tions."
Thus wrote James Madison, one of the
architects of the American Republic, long ago.
History since has vindicated his view. There
have been bloody revolutions, it is true. But
far greater numbers of despotisms have been
created while the people slept.

How To Get Ahead Should Be Taught
i
Let's Do Our Own Buying
The following letter received by Representative F. Bradford
Morse (R.-Mass.) speaks eloquently for itself:
"Dear Congressman Morse:
"I hate to tell you my troubles, but I have tried everything
else I know. I feel that only you can help me now.
"I have a dependent relative staying with me who has very
little fiscal responsibility. He is very good natured and means
well, but he keeps buying presents for my wife and me, and our
two children. He charges these presents to my account. When he
sees something that he thinks we need he buys it for us.
"Many of these things are not needed by us and in very few
cases are they exactly what we would have bought if we had
bought these things ourselves. Because he doesn't work for a
living, money doesn't mean too much to him and he tends to
buy the first thing he sees and doesn't shop around like I would
do if I were purchasing items. He is also quite generous to the
poor and needy, but often gives to those he doesn't know who
feed him a soft line.
"I just received a bill for his last spending spree and it gives
me a sick hopeless feeling. I keep thinking how better off I
would be if I could just spend that money for the things I want
and could give to the people and charities I think are needy.
Honestly, he does so much of ruy spending that I tenet not to
give money to charity anymore.
"He won't listen to me, but he will listen to you because he
Irespects you. Please use your influence to cut the spending
habits of my Uncle Sam.
"Sincerely,
"Jack A. Wilson

Modern education apparently
dwells more on "life adjust-
ment" than on the three R's.
With this in mind, the schools
should be interested in a new
course entitled, "How To Get
Ahead In Life."
Its purpose is to show the
child how to progress within
our free enterprise system. De-
spite the many invasions of pri-
vate property and curtailments
of free choice, we still have —
basically — a free enterprise
system.
It would seem, then, to be
the school's duty to equip the
child with the basic understand-
ing requirred to be a success in
this system. The child should be
taught the fundamental rule
that underlies all individual
success within our system:
KEY TO SUCCESS
That rule is: Your success in
life depends directly upon the
amount of service you give to
others.
In the free enterprise sys-
tem, a man must provide a
product or service that others
need or desire. If he wants to
progress, he must be productive
—and that production must be
in areas desired by others.
Otherwise, his only hope for
existence is to live as a hermit.
This lesson applies whether
you are a store clerk, steel ty-
coon, car mechanic, writer, doc-
tor, salesman, production work-
er, architect, telephone repair-
man or anything else.
REWARD EQUALS SERVICE
The rule is simple: the more
service you provide, the great-
er your personal reward will
be. Obviously, you can't com-
mand a bigger salary by doing
something nobody wants. On
the other hand, the more you
satisfy the needs and wants of
your community, the more in
demand you'll be. This applies
whether you own your own com-
pany or work for someone else.
Socialists always cry that
they want "production for use
instead of for profit." Strange-
ly. they can't see the obvious:
production for profit is produc-
tion for use. You can't make
a profit unless you provide
things people can use.
The free enterprise system
pie don't serve each other
they serve the state. •
If these facts could be"*brou|
ght out to our school childreii
-and they certainly arenf hard
has created more good things to understand--think how inucll
for more people than any "ism" more productive future genera]
in history. This is because each
man is the master of his own
fate — each controls his own
property. That means each de-
cides for himself what he will
do with that property — what
it will be exchanged for.
So anyone who wants some
tions might be.
Admittedly, they might $rvd
to prejudice the child on behalij
of the free enterprise systefr
so we can't be too hopefuMhat]
these ideas will be taught.
But what's to stop you fron
passing these simple truths on]
of that property must produce t() your own children?
a product or service that satis-
fies the owner's desires. Only
then can the exchange be made.
NO SERVICE
In the various types of social-
ist systems, however, it is the
state that makes such decisions.
The government decides what
you need or can have. So peo-
