Otf course, they read their local daily paper, if a daily is publsihed in their com munity; and most of them read a New York daily. Certainly they want to know what is going on, day by day, for the Government’s attitude offect the business of the nation or decision on some question may very seriously, one way or the other. But businessmen receive and read many special studies that boil down to small space the news of the day and the studied opinions of ex perts. Recently I went to an industrial plant in Columbia and came away with several business letters on our National and World affairs. Last week I quoted extensively from the monthly letter sent out by The First National Bank of Boston. I have just received letters sent throughout the business world by The Mellon Na tional Bank of Pittsburg and The Na tional City Bank of New York. The Mellon Bank letter quotes from a number of great trade journ als and other periodicals. Here is one quotation, taken from American Mercury: “A Way to Improve War Bond Sales by Christopher Bliss. Im pressed by the fact that even with thousands of American boys dying in Korea the American people are turning in more war bonds for re demption than they are purchasing (redemptions of E-bonds since June, 1960, have exceeded sales by $460,- 000,000) this writer thinks govern ment salesmanship fails when it (tresses the mere profit of the in vestment, which can, of course, be more than equaled in many other things. What should be appealed to, rather, is our national patriotism. Kate Smith understood this when she was acting as a war bond sales man over the Columbia Broadcasting System in HMJ. She appealed only to the public’s patriotism and good sense, never mentioning a word about profit, and she sold as high as $36,000,000 worth 9f bonds in a single day. The strength of America,’ concludes Bliss, ‘is still spiritual, not material, and a good rendition of ‘Dixie’ or ‘God Bless America” will raise more money than any calcula tion of profits’.” We hear much, about the spiritual strength of America, as distinguished from physical strength. “Spiritual strength,” as referred to, does not always mean what the churches mean when they speak of “spiritual power”. To the devout churchman spiritual strength is the in-dwelling of the spirit of God in a man. That expression “in-dwelling of the spirit of God” may need an explanation. It may be said to be the strength which comes from trying to live in tune with the Infinite, in close har mony, a daily communion and walk. Writers and speakers are prone to speak of spiritual qualities as be ing that native strength, that sound quality of a man or nation, that is above and beyond mere dollars. We could boil it down to its essence like this: there is a man. Let us empha size the word man. He is so strong in his manhood that we do not think of him in terms of position or posses sions. Sometimes we see a person and we think of his position, or his wealth. The pesition is so much big ger than the individual that we think of the position. Or, we think of his money. But when all the property and money values of South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina and Geor gia seemed to float on the air, in smoke and ashes, the manhood and womanhood were there and they nobly responded to the need. They had the spiritual qualities, strength, purpose, energy, resource fulness. But the strength of our peo ple has been chiefly religious. Amer ica itself has looked to Jehovah, as David did in the Psalm: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills”—well, what good would that do? The hills mean nothing but survival against the erosion of time and weather. Then he asked himself: “Whence cometh my help”? Well, it didn’t come from the hills, nor any other feature of nature, where the majestic peaks, the tumultous billows, or the wide expanse of prairies. David then answered his own question: “My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” And the endurance, the fortitude of our peo ple, their high courage, were founded in the faith that renewed David's courage in conflict with the encir cling hosts of the enemy, foes with in and foes without • • • • We thiak of ourselve^ as Ameri- cuns, citizens of the great republic which is the home of freedom. So we are interested in the sprawling Federal bureaucracy which is so top- heavy It almost crashes under its own weight. Observe how we spend money: “According to a special study ap pearing in the 1952 Government budget document the total loans, guarantees and credit commitments by wholly-owned government enter prises will amount to $44/4 billion at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30; and not even this huge total covers everything, since for To Receive Gold P Award Pictured below is P. S. Bailey, president of the Clinton and Lydia Cotton Mills, who will receive the Gold P award at commencement exercises of Presbyterian college next Monday morning. The award is made annually to an alumnus who has made outstanding pro gress and achievement in his chos en profession. various reasons it excludes numer ous other agencies under government sponsorship, including the Commod ity Credit Corporation. The total, moreover, is on the rise, the June 30, 1951, figure indi cating an increase of $9% billion, or 27 er cent, over the comparable figure last year. The following ex cerpt from a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal from a reader in (Havana, Ark., gives a homely, grassroots illustration of how government policies are work ing at cross-purposes: ‘I am a farmer owning several hundred acres of land and a herd of dairy cattle free of ail debt, but when I recently asked my bank for a small short-term loan, I was told that governmental re strictions had curtailed their cus tomer loans. Banks were being re quired to build up bigger reserves. But a neighbor, who doesn’t own anything but an old car and whose reputation for industry, thrift and prompt payment of his debts is bad, went to a government lending setup and borrowed enough money to buy bank had denied me and had put into a smajl dairy herd—money that my governmental securities to head off inflation by pinching off my credit.’ Apart from the question otf the ef fect of government lending opera tions upon the budget position and the general credit situation, there is the question of the competence of government in the lending field il lustrated by the recent disclosures regarding the R. F. C. Of course, the results on cutting expenditures depend on what the legislators in Congress hear from the folks back home, both in terms of pressure for economy and willing ness to forego benefits which the people themselves may be receiving. Spending can be lightened if the citizens will refrain from seeking ■government handouts.” That I quote from the May letter of The National City Bank of New York.
