BARSON DISCUSSES RESEARCH AND
IMPORTANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., May 14.—In
quiries Constantly come to me ask
ing for some way to prevent more
World Wars. Instead of answering
these letters personally, may I give
my answer in this week’s column?
Military Strength
Ninety-five per cent of the poli
ticians of every nation appear to
believe that the only means of
keeping their country out of war is
to have a bigger army, a more pow
erful navy, a greater air force and
the most atomic bombs. Of course,
this is not the an
swer. It is like
trying to «ure an
alcoholic by giving
him more drinks.
In fact, 2,000
years ago Jesus
stated: “For all
■
W? f
fa J
World Peace. This will not be
brought about alone by the priests
and preachers, however earnest and
necessary they are. The founda
tion for the Kingdom of God is be
ing built by the teachers, scientists
and inventors. These include
mathematicians, physicists, cftem- [
i s t s, metallurgists, psychologists,
and all others working for human-,
ity in the laboratories of every na-j
ton. These men and women are |
making discoveries which may as
sure the people of all . nations
health, intelligence, prosperity and
happiness. These are the people
whom Jesus would praise were He
here today.
Whom Haw We To Thank?
Strange to say, we have the big
corporations—many of which the
U. S. Department of Justice is
persecuting—to thank for the re-
they that take the! cent great progress. Last year,
srword shall perish
with the s w o r d.”
_ _ History shows this
Reger W. BabMa to have ^eix 100
per cent correct. Any reader who
doubts this need only read the lives
of the greatest military leaders,
such as Alexander the Great, Cy
rus, Caesar, Genghis Khan, Mo
hammed, Ivan the Terrible, (Jrom-
well, Napoleon, Bismarck and Hit
ler.
over $3,500,000,00 was spent in the
United States alone on research to
make the world healthier, more in-
tellgent and happier. Two-thirds
of this amount was spent by cor
porations whose stocks are traded
in so-called ‘‘Wicked Wall Street.”
The remaining third consisted
mostly of Government appropria
tions for which we may praise or
belittle Franklin D. Roosevelt ■ and
his kind-hearted wife. But the
What Jesus Taught 2.00 Years Ago 1 cor p orat u ion s. themselves did not

Ut narificm an* Hicarmamont ara <>f the 250,000 individuals in their
that pacifism and disarmament are
the answer failing to talk about the
Old Testament which was the only
Bible that Jesus knew or used.
When Jesus preached about “dis
armament,” He assumed that jus
tice, mercy and intelligence would
be substituted therefor. The fact
is that if we read the books of the
Bible in the order in which they
were written we see that Jesus was
talking about the Kingdom of God
based on righteousness and
ness to all people
employ.
The electrical machinery and
! aircraft industries each spent over
$400,000,000 on research. The chem- 1
ical industry (which gave us the
wonderful drugs that are blessing
humanity today) and the motor ve
hicle industry each spent $200,000,-
000 on research. In addition, there
are many private funds, such as the
Rockefeller Foundation and the
fair-j new Ford Foundation. Yale uni
versity has just set up a fund of

; Opportunities For Small Businesses
Above I mention only big cor-
' porations, but I find that some of
J our most important discoveries
have been by small businesses em
ploying only a few men. Further
more, I find that many of them
humble workers just stumbled onto
their discoveries while hunting forj
something else. Hence, in the last;
analysis, all our blessings have
come from humble individuals,
most of whom we have never
j heard of. Therefore, I use every
i ing individual, whatever his race
I opportunity to appeal for the pray-
1 or color, whether rich or poor. Far
j too much attentiort is given by
I “educators” to “Ph. D ’s” and other
j degrees. In doing so, I believe they
| are retarding rather than advanc-
, ing research.
Great changes are ahead. What-
; ever may happen during the next
i few years, I am a great optimist
| as to the future of our grandchil
dren. The atomic bomb is not go-
j ing to destroy the world; it Will
'free the world. It has already
! started a new line of thinking. We
will enter a period when our news
papers will no longer feature “cold
wars” or “hot wars,” but will again
feature new discoveries: Men like
Caxton who pioneered the printing
press (1475) which opened the
: minds of men, Eli Whitney who in-
j vented the * cotton gig (1793) which
developed a great export trade,
James Watt (1769) . and Isaac Mer-
iritt Singer (1851) who spurred the
industrial development of the Unit
ed States, Thomas Edison, Henry
! Ford and John D. Rockefeller who
laid the basis for America’s pres-
perity. We also should remember
Pasteur to whom we all owe much
of our health and happiness.
Will W* Have World War III?
World War I did not accomplish
anything except lead to World War
II. Even this second World War,
every nation lost. Yet we are now
discussing World War III. Only re
search and Religion can prevent
World War III. If Communism had
not denied God and Truth, it might
now win; but having chosen the
sword, it will surely die the
sword.
Our politicians foolishly talk
about_‘<3un$ versus Butter.” In
stead, we should talk about “Guns
versus New Ideas.” For either Of
these to be useful, we are depend
ent upon humble individuals. Such
people may be found in any com
munity. We should encourage
them, never laugh at them or ask
them if they have a college degree!
