after taxes and savings, about 115
to 120 billion left to spend. The mon
ey is, therefore, there for goods and
services. The' resources are there.
Why, therefore, "do we hesitate?
I’p To Truman
Venture capital is being scared
away. The outlook for profits is un
certain. Investors are timid. They
fear an unfair deal by Congress.
Spotty capital investment contribu
tes to retard production and cause
vrnemployment.
Only with fair taxes, fair wages
and fair profits, is it possible to
plow back into the business suffi
cient funds to keep new construction
and current production rising and
to cause costs to go down. If our
great America is to forge ahead, we
need to create the proper environ
ment for its growth. This means en-
, couraging venture capital—not tax
ing it to death. Let u^ hope that
President Truman realizes this basic
economic fact.

A Good Form Progrom
The Chronicle published last week
15-point agricultural program W as
th
for South Carolina prepared by the
South Carolina . Agricultural com-
mittee and the Clemson College Ex
tension Service as a challenging goal
to farmers for the coming year. It
deserves the careful .consideration
of fai n.i i s and business men alike,
since we are all vitally affected by
-the welfare of the farm.
The goals as set up are grouped
under the following Leadlines:
Fain 1 , planning, soils, food and
feed, farm mechanization, livestock,
dairying and poultry, cotton, tobac
co. fruits and vegetables, forestry,
seeds and plants, pests and diseases,
marketing facilities, farm buildings,
farm beys and girls and health and
recreation. Each of these points is
applicable to our county and needs
to bo emphasized.
One of the most important of
thtse points, we think, is the one on
"Food and Feed.' The production of
food and feed should always have an
important place on every farm pro
gram.
This point ties in rather closely '
with the one on health and recrea
tion because as Director D. W. Wat
kins of the Clemson Extension Serv
ice says.
Good health is necessary for bet
ter farm living. To assure good
health, careful planning is neces-
saiy to the end that plenty of good
wholesome foods be produced and
conserved Tho planning should in
clude not only quantity but also
quality and variety in order to pro
vide for the nutritional needs of the
body.
"Every farm family should know
the kinds and amounts of foods and
feeds necessary to adequately meet
the needs of the people and live-L
stock on the given farm and should ‘
insofar as possible endeavor to pro
duce and conserve sufficient
amounts to meet these needs. Town
and village families with land avail
able should endeavor to do this."
The slogan of the program is *'bet- |
ter farm living" Farmers and all
other citizeiiytrffl do well to study
the poir#? l, ^ i f£t£H>d in an effort to
impiovt agricultural conditions gen-
trady ;n our county as well as the
entile state.
which human beings react resulted
in complete failure.
The recently defeated Congress
upholding the principles of
l "free enterprise" and of the depen
dence of man upon his own capac
ities. It likewise made a long over-,
; due attempt at cutting down extrav
agance and wild spending and giv
ing taxpayer^ a break. Now we have
elected a new Congress of which
thinking Americans already are be
coming apprehensive. Politically, al
most everything has been promised
to everybody, with special favor to
labor leaders who want to do a*
' they please. We need to become
aroused, and let congressmen and
senators know that we are. if we
are to preserve "our way of life"
through an economic system that
has Ivon tried and proven, and
made America gr,eat.

BABSON'S LETTER
-I
(By ROGER W. BABSON)
Babjon Park. Fla., Feb. 4. — Mr.
Ghandi, rest bis soul, advocated a re
turn to the spinning wheel because
"machines kill jobs.’’ Without ma
chines. our uffrivalled living stand
ards in this country would be totally
impossible
In the last 75 years our workers
have become more and more produc
tive Today they produce four times
as much goods as they did then.
When Abe Lincoln was a boy, about
79 per cent of our productive energy,
was supplied by animals, 15 per cimt-
by humans, and six per cent by me
chanical means. Today only three per
cent is supplied by animals and two 1
per cent by humans. Wbereas, the*
machine does 95 per cant of our worlte!
for us! k
The thought th^t mecbaBization l
is the root of all evil is as dd fash-
as grandpa’s six-shooter in an
atomic age The key our high
standard of living is meeased char
acter. intelligence and proefcsetivity
through mechamaation. The results
shorter working hours, more take-
home pay, vacations with pay, social
security, and a standard of living
that nas Joe Stalin scared to death, j
Comliticms Favoring Growtfl
In order for any of God's crea-
rures—plants, animals or- humans— !
to prosper and develop lully, they
need the right environment and the,
right food. Industrial America burst
into bud and blossomed forth in the:
last 100 years because it had: the-
right fcou and the right er.s’inmment.
Surely, vn hn\e abundant resources: 1
but so has Russia. What we have had ,
that Russia hr- lacked fas beetj, aj
religious, political and economic en
vironment which encouraged risk 1
taking. This combined sysvim ha« en
couraged and made possible the ven
ture capital to harness the mechanical
energy which put money - ancLjnen |
to work.
.Don' blame the next depressi'io on ,
machines. Blame it on men. Thu; ma-
cnines are working all right.. But
both men owning and those operating I
these machines must constantly work
tor the'good of the world as a whole
and not for any one self.sh gro ip.
Increased Productivity
There is as great a tried for capi
tal investment as there was whecPI
was a boy. We could readily invest
50 biflion dollars over the next de
cade in uidifctrial modernization. We
need to put another nil billion into :
housing in order to bring our hous- >
mg program up to decent standards.;
We could easily use many billions for:
streets and highways. There is cer- i
tainTy a need, therefore, for increased
savings. These are p«aaible oily with.
lower taxes.

the doors of the western world to considerably more venture capital. |

H n Ralph W .Gwynn, House of

interesting book "Four Thousand

This authenic recital records the
failure of "planned economy” of
which we are hearing much from
Washington, tram the days of Baiby-
lon t a the present time. It outlines
the tragic results of the Roman Em-
j>eror Diocletian’s tampering with the
age-old problem of supply and de
mand, that Natural law which is
as inevitable and .basic as the law
of gravity. It records the collapse of

The recital shows how the pow
er craving emperor ventured in the
realm of “wage and price control",
and from that account you will
recognize a striking resemblance to
the trend of today for which the
federal government is responsible.
