the private enter-
prise system, who simply hadn’t

they were, they were prime sub-

propaganda against the system.
The System lletined
What is free enterprise? It
is the economic system through
the tools of production and dis-
tribution.
2. A system like we have in
America, with private indivi-
duals owning the tools of pro-
duction and distribution.
3. A combination of these
two, such as the Socialists in-
stalled in England with most
of the basic industries and in-
stitutions owned by the Govern-
ment, but with much of the re-
tail business operated by private
citizens under strict Govern-
ment control.
America offers the world’s
best example of a private en-
terprise economy. We started
as an agricultural country, with
90 per cent of our people on the
land and earning a living by
farming. Farming rapidly im-
proved in America for these
reasons: Farmers osyied their
land and wanted to improve it;
the livestock and grain they
produced was their own; they
wanted to improve the varie-
ties and the total production;
they had to do the work or pay
for having it done, so they
wanted to improve their tools
as much as possible thus mak-
ing the individual’s labor more
productive.
Progress Unlimited
Farmers have succeeded un-
til today only 5 per cent of our
people live on farms, and yet
the nation is the best fed in its
history and we sell and give
away great quantities of our
farm produce. As people left
the farms they went into var-
ious kinds of businesses. These
businesses grew tor the follow-
ing reasons.
They were privately owned
and naturally the owners want-
ed their businesses to prosper,
and they worked hard; they
were competitive, consequently
the businessman was under con-
stndt pressure to try to out-
produce his competition; this
forced the development by the
businessmen of tools, machine
tools, automatic toots, automat-
ed tools; the entire nation, and ' ice.
in fact the world, was the mar-
ket place; so the businessman’s
opportunities were virtually un-
limited.
Next week- how tools aided
productivity and our living
standard.

A POLITICAL candidate in Texas declared vehemently in
f 1 a campaign speech, “Here in Texas, men are men and
•women are women—and I defy you to improve upon a sit-
uation like that.” At this
point an old maid broke
in, ‘‘I don’t want to im-
prove on it; I just want
to get in on it!”

For years on end. a
Broadway actor's star was
In the ascendant, and he
played the lead in one hit
after another. Then his luck
turned bad. and he found it
harder and harder to live In
the style to which he had
become accustomed. For
his w ife, the come - down
was even more insuffer-
able, and finally, she an-
nounced she had had it; she was Reno-bound in the morning.
The actor had half expected her desertion, and merely com-
mented, ‘X have to give you credit for one thing, you magnificent
creature: for all these years you have stuck to me through
thick!”
