Let Incentive Live
Only recently this column
told about an aged man of
means declining to finance a
promising home enterprise
because the biggest possible
return (after taxes) on his
investment could not justify
the risks involved, although
they seemed small. Without
a chance for financial im-
provement, old men will not
risk their savings, nor will
young men contribute their
time, energy and ingenuity.
Tax rates likes 85 cents on
the dollar paralyze progress.
Opportunities to make a
profit start new industries
and keep old ones going. The
United States os sure of an
employment problem after
the war, unless industry is
freed from the ball-and-chain
effect of present taxes. “The
real remedy for unemploy-
ment is the creation and
maintenance of work oppor-

A “World Order Compact,"
adapted fmm and in the same
format
as the now famous
Mayflower Compact, signed
in the cabin of that histone
veasel in 182b. and the rules
by which the Pilgrim Fathers
first lived in America, will be
signed cn Sunday, May 21, in
hundreds of Congregational
Christian churches through-
out the country. This dra-
matic act will climax the
campaign now being waged
within the denomiantion to
“have each member work
with cue another for the
mocketh at fear and is not
affrighted; neither turneth
he Imrk from the sword. 11c
saith among the trumpets
11a, ha; and he smelleth the
battle afar off. the thunder
of the captains and the
shout-ing.”
Well, I g> t out my Bible
the other day and reread
that wonderful description.
Because I had seen an item
in the paper that fired my
imagination. It was merely
to the effect that the produc-
tion of liquid-cooled engines
one division < f General Mo-
tors has sent to the war now-
totals 60 millic n horsepower.
Sixty million war horses—
harnessed to Lightnings and
Airactbras, Mustangs, Inva-
ders, and Warhawks, not to
mention the planes of Britain
and Russia and China! Sixty
million splendid steeds, mock-
ing at fear and going forth
to meet the armed men! Isn’t
that pretty thrilling, really?
Well—probably you’ll think
these horses carried me too
far on a flight of fancy. 1
know very well that the
poetry is lost in the grim im-
plications of hordes of planes
blackening the skies over Eu-
r< pe. But horses that take
to the air in war can soar
through |ieaceful skies, and
the factories where the war
horses are flawing in the val-
ley now will be ready when
the time comes to harness
those hones to airliners and
cargo planes. The aircraft
industry has made unbeliev-
able advances. The great age
of aviation will dawn when
the world settles down to
fieace.

I It is all/of these—and yet
none of these, this land of

singing
"My Country, ’ti* of Thee
"Sweet Land of Liberty . . ."
In the homes and school

“Long may our Land be Bright

“Profit us by Thy Might
"Great God, our King.”
THAT is America!

of the American Federation

The First Objective
One of the main things
that communist politicians
are aiming at is the “aboli-
tion of private property.” Uf
course they can't argue any-
body into the notion of giv-
ing away their property.
They knew that, jhe only
way they can separate on
owner from his property is
to make it impossible for him
to keep it. The easiest way
to do that is to make taxes
so high he can't afford to
own it. That’s about what is
M e thodist ministers and
laymen, from all parts of the
United States, met recently
at Garrett Biblical Institute,
Evanston, iii., under ’leader-
ship of Dr. E. D. Soper, to
consider “Racism and World
Order,” and the program of
the church in this field. Its
conclusion* were disturbing:
Racism—which includes race
prejudice, the philosophy of
superior and inferior races,
and the persecution and eco-
nomic sub jectior. of any
group of people because of
their color, race, language, or
religion—is a social phenom-
enon that has grown tremen-
dously across the world dur-
ing the past century. Racism
can be traced to economic
struggle or competition; but
more lately a pseudo-religious
or pseudo-scientific philoso-
phy of superiority-inferiority
has been developed as its jus-
tification. It may increase
rather than decrease after
World War II because of ex-
pected e c o n omic struggle
among nations and groups
within nations. Racism even
now is sowing seeds which
may lead to World War III—
