Comments On Men And Things . . .
Foundation On Which Nation Has
Grown Threatened By Fair Deal
So General Eisenhower is will
ing to represent the Republican
ticket: that is good news: now
if the Democrats would nominate
someone equal to General Eisen
hower or Senator Taft! Senator
May bank is quoted as saying that
he thinks either General Eisen
hower or Senator Taft would
carry South Carolina if Mr. Tru-
maji should be nominated by thq
so-called Democrats.
We mustn't let the bars down
and admit any so-called Fair
Dealer: What we should get rid
of is not merely Harry Truman,
but the crowd which surrounds
him. In fact, it is ‘deeper than
that: it is a way of thinking
which threatens the foundations
of our Nation.
The First National Bank of Bos
ton seems imbued with the old
spirit and virtues of the Pilgrim
Fathers. In its monthly letter it
discusses the ancient bed-rock
virtues upon which this great
nation rests. Our pious people
stamped on our money these
words: “In God we trust.” But
smart people of a new day seem
prone to put their trust in mon
ey and the things of money—
value, rather than in spiritual
values.
I quote the letter:
“T h e Brooklings Institution,
well known for its objective
studies, made a Survey of Eco
nomic Education in this country
and found that only about 25 per
cent of college students enroll in
economic courses, and less than
5 percent of students who gradu
ate from secondary schools have
taken any course in economics.
On the other hand, about one half
of all high school students, ac
cording to the Brooklings’ survey,
are enrolled in social study class
es. The Brooklings’ report went
on to say that ‘ . . . . the social
science texts, which contain a
smattering of economics — com
monly written by individuals with
out training in this field—provide
very poor substitutes.’ The New
York Times, in commenting on
a survey made by a leading
economist of 600 social-science
textbooks, or 90 percent of those
used in our high schools, said: ‘A
substantial proportion of the soc
ial-science textbooks used in the
high schools tend to criticize our
form of government and hold in
contempt the system of private
enterprise .... There is a not
able tendency to play down .what
has been accomplished in this
country and to stress the defects
of our democracy.”
“Spokesmen for some of the
churches have taken an unfriend
ly attitude towards business
profits, which are indispensable
feature of private enterprise. The
Federal Council of Churches,
which until December, 1950,, was
a federation of 25 national protes-
tant religious bodies, has in its
reports, taken the stand that
the profit motive is not essen
tial and is perhaps incompatible
with Christian ethics. The Brook
lings Institution in one of its
surveys points out that the Coun
cil apparently assumes ... ‘that
there is something spiritually de
basing or ignoble about working
for profits rather than salaries or
wages, and that the profit seek
er is essentially selfish and is not
interested in service to his fellow
men.
“The Churches should be deep
ly concerned about the survival of
private enterprise since its de
struction would bring about some
form of totalitarianism, which is

a challenge to all religions. En
dowed with supreme power under
totalitarianism, the state would
not be subject to moral law. The
church would be under attack,
religion ridiculed, and freedom
of worship forbidden.”
“Private enterprise, more than
any other system, is in conform
ity with Christian principles as it
recognizes the worth and dignity
of the individual.”
“Dr. Harold R. Husted, minister
of First-Park Baptist Church of
Plainfield, New Jersey, has said:
‘The more our government at
tempts to control the economy,
the more it must attempt to con
trol the actions of individuals and
take away their freedom. It is
not more government in business
that we need, but more moral
integrity, honesty, unselfishness
and the spirit of brotherhood in
the lives of the citizens who are
the foundation of this democratic
land. Christianity and our eco
nomy, based upon free enterprise
are inseparable.”
“Under socialism there is a
leveling down that ends in a dis
tribution of poverty. The objec
tive of free enterprise, on the
other hand, is, to bring up every
body’s living standards by pro
ducing more at less cost.
The miracle of American pro
duction is largely accounted for
by the fact that each worker is
equipped with tools worth around
$10,000, which are largely paid
for out of profits. Power tools,
in this country account for about
90 percent of all the work done,
and human energy for about 10
percent. Because of its efficient
economic system, the United
States accounts are about 40 per
cent of the world’s industrial pro
duction, while the living stand
ards of the American worker
about ten times as high as those
of the average worker in the
rest of the world. Within our own
country there is a broad distri
bution of wealth as evidenced by
the fact that those receiving an
income under $5000 a year in the
aggregate account for around 90
percent of the disposable person
al income. In addition to provid
ing the workers with the high
est . standards anywhere, the
United States under the free
enterprise system has contributed
many billions of dollars to other
countries, including those under
socialist * regimes, that would
otherwise have gone over the fi
nancial precipice.”
I have discussed this frequent
ly: Many men who have had no
experience in the competition of
life, think they are entitled to all
that the workers and builders
have. Because they have attend
ed universities, talk well and
dress well, they fail to do their
part as builders; they covet what
the builders have earned. They
then talk against the conditions
under which we live: as they
think, everything should be di
vided and they should have peace,
prosperity and plenty, but want to
join the army of citizens as
Colonels at least: No service in
the ranks; no pleasant chats
with the top-sergeant and second
lieutenants. But throughout this
vast land the big men, the build
ers, came from the ranks. And if
you want to know whether this
is the land of opportunity try
some other country. Would you
like to live in Russia? Well, Joe
Stalin may enjoy it, but is any
body else safe there? Would you
like France, Italy or Germany?
Even Britain offers no such
opportunities. Perhaps you might
try Mexico, Brazil or Argentina.
convention causes totaled $1,461,-
934 more than in 1950. A total
of 19,321 new members were add
ed. South Carolina Baptists now
have 1,219 churches with a mem
bership of 398,724. They con
tributed a total of $15,512,007 dur
ing the year. The contributions
amounted to $38.90 a member as
compared with $37.03 a member
during 1950. The report shows an
increase in Sunday school enroll
ment of 20,053 for a total of 322,-
572. The training union gained
9,670 members for a total en
rollment of 95,131.”
I like to tell of the growth
of the churches and should be.
glad to have information from all
the other denominations. I am
not informed relative to the Color
ed Baptists, and other Colored
denominations, but I should like
to tell their story, too.
While on the general topic of
our Country I might quote Path
finder: “We have been sending
to Europe annually more than
30 million tons of coal—a product
that Europeans have in abun
dance, if they would only dig it
lor themselves. Furthermore, we
are expected to ship 40 million
tons of coal to Europe this year
at an average cost, including
transportation, of $22 per ton.
This will total $880 million—
which the American taxpayers
will have to pay. To make the
situation still worse, the Marshall
Plan Council reports that Europe
expects to receive from us at
least 25 million tons of coal
yearly for the next five years.’
It is estimated that Germany
could dig 60 million more tons
yearly than it is producing. We
are shipping coal to Austria,
where there is plenty for the dig
ging. We send coal to France,
whose miners work on a lack
adaisical schedule dictated by
labor leaders. Germany and
Austria won’t dig enough coal
to take care of Italy’s needs, so
the U. S. does the job.
“The high standard of living
that Americans enjoy was not a
result of geography or climate or
abundance of natural resources,
but the reward of Americans’
energy and initiative and willing
ness to work. And this energy
and initiative were given an out
let by our free enterprise sys
tem that (until recent socialistic
trends) said to each citizen: ‘You
can make of yourself what you
will. You are limited only by
your own industriousness and,
capabilities; serve your fellow
men well and they will reward
you.”
The Baptists are a mighty host.
The daily papers recently car
ried an interesting statement
from the Secretary of the South
Carolina Baptist Convention.
“The year 1951 saw South Caro
lina Baptists setting new records
‘in every field of work.’ The con
vention set new records in the
number of new churches, the
number of members and the
amount of contributions. The
Convention gained 26 new
churches, and contributions td
The General Assembly of South
Carolina is in session. Before we
begin to develop differences it
is well to think of these things
we | cherish together. For ex
ample, I think our habit of elect
ing legislators to executive and
judicial positions is not a sound
one, but I am compelled to admit
that our courts compare favorably
in character and ability with the
courts of other States. All the
departments of our State are re
spected; and we are notably free
of scandals. That does not mean
that everything is A-l, apple-pie,
and all that. We are not per
fect people and our officials are
like the rest of us. On many oc
casions I have expressed my very
high regard for all those I’ve had
relations with—and tlrey are
many.
I have great respect for the
Governor, who comes back to his
people full of mellow wisdom,
still having the common touch
and kindly simplicity of manner,
even after negotiating with the
great of all the earth. I have
some friends in the Senate and in
the House, friendships which sur
vive differences of opinions on
policies, for a me-too frie^lship
is hardly worth-while,
I wish the General Assembly a
good session, one of fruitful ser
vice.
