BUSINESS TO CONTINUE GOOD
THROUGH 1953, HANES SAYS
Editor’s Note—^Business will con-iual return' to more normal condit-
tinue good in 1953 during the grad- | ions, Greenwood Kiwanians were
told this week by Robert M. Hanes,
president of the Wachovia Bank
and Trust Company, of Winston-
Salem, N. C., and one of the South’s
leading bankers.
Th following account of Mr.
Hanes’ address is taken from The
Greenwood Index-Journal:
* • •
There is a strong possibility, in
Mr. Hanes’ opinion, that the total
volume of business in 1953 may
equal if not exceed the record of
1952, all estimates being made on
the basis of no further increase in
international tensions.
He sees keener competition, the
easing of prices at many points and
the return of buyers’ markets in all
lines and the general operation of
the law of supply and demand.
He pointed out that the great
problem now is shifting from pro
duction to distribution.
“This means more selling,” he
said, “better merchandising and in
creased attention to the moving of
goods into the hands of consumers.
We shall have to put American
salesmanship back in its rightful
place, along with mass production,
as the dominant factors in Ameri
can free enterprise.”
Mr. Hanes, making his second ap
pearance before the Kiwanis club,
termed the change in Washington
the most significant as well as the
most encouraging feature of 1953. A
change in basic philosophy and in
attitude toward business and the
whole private enterprise system
has accompanied the change in ad
ministration, Mr. Hanes declared.
The year started off with a con
siderable momentum carried over
from the closing months of 1952,
he said, in giving the factors favor
able to good business. Business vol
ume was excellent during the first
quarter of 1953, and industrial pro
duction was at record peacetime
levels. Employment was - up, un
employment down in Mardv conr- UTne a rapid
pared to the!previous year. Per
sonal income was at a new high,
and steel, automobile production
and construction, which he called
the bellwethers of business, were
all moving at high levels with in
creases over the previous year.
‘This continuation of favorable
business indicators throughout the
first quarter with little signs of
slowing down has given encourag
ing outlook on the year as a
whole.” he said.
Defense and security spending of
$50 to $55 billion was a tremendous
shot in the arm for any economy,
he declared. The tremendous back
log of public works that has ac
cumulated over a period of years,
as well as* increasing population and
increased' confidence generated
by the new adrqinistration all jare
favorable factorsfhe said

Television Station
Authorization has been granted
WCRS at Greenwood for construc
tion of a television station.
The Federal Communications
Commission granted WCRS-TV
channel 21 on the television band.
Visual power of 93,000 watts will
give strong reception to residents
of the area in a 40-mile radius of
Greenwood.
No announcement of an opening
date for the TV station 6an be
made until details of connection
with network and air and ground
relay Systems can be completed.

ness booms is that they do even-1
tually end. This one, continuing
since 1941, with only a slight inter
ruption in 1949, has been stimulated
by what he called a succession of
crises which have acted as a shot in
the arm. World War 11 and the
pot-war buying and the Korean
war.
Defense spending, however could
taper off. Production has been
doubled since 1940, but this has
taken place during a period of ab
normal demand for goods, As the
nation moves from a seller’s to a
buyer’s market, surpluses will be
built up in different lines, with the
develpoment of soft spots. This
happened in textiles *a year ago,
and in other lines.
A retarding factor in the decline
in farm prices, now down about 11
per cent from a year ago, A con
tinuing decline in farm prices and
high cost of farm production
would reduce the purchasing power
of farmers.

The TV facilities will be added
at a cost exceeding $200,000. Th^
will include equipment to present

Channel 21 is the lowest UKF
channel so far granted in South
Carolina and engineers report that
low UHFs are as powerful and high
as VHFs and are free trom many
interferences such as neon signs,
auto ignition, diathermy equipment
and lightning.

may be maide at moderate cost in
most cases to receive UHF. Some-
newer sets are built so that adjust
ments may be made in a matter of
j a few seconds.

increase in private
debt—both of corporations and in
dividuals are also factors on the
darker side of the picture.
Mr. Hanes called the recent elec
tion the greatest free election ever
held in the history of the world,
and he called for support for the
new administration as it seeks to
get back to “sound principles and
orthdox precodures.”
“For twenty years business, lead
ers have clamored and labored for
a change in basic philosophy,” he
declared. “Business leadership is
now being called upon to prove
that the principles it has always
proclaimed can and will work, that
in the new atmosphere free enter
prise will flourish and bring in
creased benefits to all citizens in
every walk of life. It is, there
fore, the responsibility of manage
ment and indeed every citizen re
gardless of party, to cooperate in
every possible way with govern
ment to make the new adminis
tration a success. If it should fail,
it will probably mean the end of
our free enterprise system and the
beginning of a socialistic economy
such as the one which liquidated
the British Empire.
Christianity
And Communism
The philosophy of atheistic com
munism must be frankly and ag
gressively faced by the Christian
forces of the world. In the hun
dred years since Marx and Engels
published the “Communist Mani
festo” their narrow dogmas have
moved with such speed and effec
tiveness over vast segments of the
human race that they constitute
today a major challenge in the
‘ whole Christian conception of life.
The communist threat must he
met. It openly derides and opposes
Christianity. To surrendeL.to_it or
be overcome by it is to forfeit the
supreme values underlying our,
highest culture and our Christian
gospel. We shall not serve the
cause by impasioned attacks which
substitute emotion for intelligence
and denunciation for thorough ac-'
quaintance with facts. Thinking
men know there are some very
thriving existence in today’s world, |
and those reasons are not always
unrelated to the church’s failure
to be dynamically effective in
preaching the gospel and demon
strating Christian principles in the|
human society, Emil Brunner,
speaking at Amsterdam, bluntly
declared: “The present social dis
order is a judgment of God upon j
the Church.”
Bullets cannot kill communism.
For example, you i could destroy
every communist in the world but
your basic problem would still con
front you. We believe we have the|
truth, we believe the Christian
solution, but if the earth-bound
philosophy of communism is not |
to be accepted by the multitude of
earth, we shal} need to eut-think,
to out-love, and to out-service the
leaders who offer it. We reject i
their doctrine of dialectic material-1
ism because it is based upon the
denial of the existence and sov-
