COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR The genius of Mr. Walter Regnery is presenting the prob lems of his great enterprise always commands my admira tion. He does not theorize or strain points, but with most attractive clarity he tells his co-workers exactly what’s what and how the condition may be treated so that all may enjoy the result. Consider this: “Who Decides Our Profit ? Do company officials decree our profits every year? Some people think they do. Actually, it doesn’t work this way at all. You can’t decree profit, for profit is the end-result of business, not the beginning. First, management estimates how much it will cost to make and sell our products. They get this figure by tallying all the wages, taxes, material costs, repairs, and other costs of production. This is the least they can charge and still break even. But you can’t stay in business or grow just breaking even. So they add to the cost a profit that will give them money to plow back into company growth and also give shareholders a fair return for use of their money. That’s the price they’d like to charge. But competition has to be considered. The customer will buy the best product he can get for his money and often a company can’t charge the price it would like to charge. So management, the members of the manufacturing team, the advisory committee members—yes, every Joanna em ployee who is intrested in his future well-being—must con tinually look for ways to cut production costs so we can give customers more and more for their money and keep them buying our cloth. If our costs in the end prove to be higher than our sales, our end-result is a loss rather than a profit and we go into debt to keep in business. Management never decreed a profit in our free enterprise system, Customers, competition, and the efficiency of opera tion determine profit.” You can’t improve on that for lucid, convincing presenta tion. And there was another signed article which shows Mr. Regnery as the comradely manager who talks to his people frankly: “As announced on the bulletin boards recently, Joanna employees will have a holiday with pay on Labor Day, Sep tember 1. However, the Labor Day Barbecue and Fun Day held annually for the past three years will be omitted this year, we regret to say. No doubt you will approve our action in withholding this expensive treat, the cost of which runs into thousands of dollars. Understanding the seriousness of the recession in the textile industry, you will prefer, we f^el sure, that we practice every economy possible at the moment in order to keep Joanna Cotton Mills competitive. Our machines will keep humming, furnishing steady employment for all, only so long as we can sell a good product cheaply enough to at tract buyers in a glutted market. Management is working day and night to solve our prob lems. Management is counting on you to do your part, too. Together we can and will weather the storm of recession. Though things look gloomy now, we are fortunate in hav ing a strong basis for recovery with our combined efforts. Over the years you have developed skills in producing spec ialty goods which, manufactured in high quality at reason able cost, will be in demand above ordinary goods. We have good machinery and the knowhow to do* a good job. Too, the many improvements suggested and put into effect through our advisory committees—and the additional help we expect in the future from these excellent sources—are a new stronghold. Add these—valuable skills, know-how, good machinery, and excellent committee suggestions—to our de termination to do our best day in and day out, and we have an unbeatable combination. We will win. Confident of your interest and best efforts, and with faith in the future of Joanna Cotton Mills Company, we are looking forward to a better year with increased job-secur ity and full-time employment for all Joannians.” Do you wonder at the admirable spirit of that splendid or ganization? The late William H. Regnery built an enduring monument in his sons, all of whom have his spirit and his great quali ties. Mr. William H. Regnery and Mr, James C. Self were among the great men I have had the honor to know. A timely emssage to the people by J. Clifford Miller, Jr. I quote in part: “The complexity and size our National government pre sents a frighteningn threat to the future of a free America. And the most dangerous feature of this situation is the fact that the average citizen is either wholly unnformed of this peril or is selfishly indifferent to it. Whether the Government itself has a definite idea of its size is doubtful. Recent reports by Congressional Commit tees dealing with this feature show variances that are not easy to reconcile. However, we do know that this organiza tion we call the Federal Government now has more than two a&d a quarter million employees who receive a total annual DEED TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 Forest E.

This state of affairs is the direct product of a policy that has multiplied the powers of the executive branch of the government and placed the Nation under control of a colos sal bureaucracy.” “There have been many changes in our government in its transition to a bureaucratic dictatorship, but none so notice able as its ‘zeal for the rights of the people’ of other na tions, all at the expense of its own people. As a result, we are burdened with a national debt of $280 billion; a tax take that borders on confiscation; and we are hemmed in by regulatory bodies which exercise controls over our lives and property. This federal monstrosity, which has been created largely as a resule of our inordinate desire to be ‘kept’ now functions in an atmosphere reminiscent of conditions that caused our fathers to charge: ‘He’ (George III of England) ‘Has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of offi cers to harass our people, and eat out their substance’.” An editorial by Thurmond Sensing is timely and all should ponder it well: “Conservatives—among whom we are proud to be numb ered—are often termed reactionary and opposed to change— and therefore against ‘progress.’ It is not logical, of course, to take the position that change necessarily means progress —but that is the line the liberals take. However, let this conservative state here and now that he believes the time has come when we need a complete change, when we need another revolution in this country— not a military revolution this time, but an economic and political revolution. Out of our original revolution, highlighted by the adop tion of our Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1775, was born the greatest free nation known to man. For the first time in the history of nations was founded a government that belonged to the people rather than a people who belonged to their government. Under our American free enterprise system, which means that a man is free to make something of himself if he has the enterprise to do it, we developed the greatest produc tive capacity and the highest standard of living the world has ever known. Under that system, the people took care of the government. But having reached this position of affluence and abund ance in our cycle as a nation, we have, as has so often been true of other nations in history, become apathetic and soft. We have accepted overwhelming taxation and bureaucratic domination of our affairs until the Spirit of ’76 is no longer with us. Now, instead of taking care of our government, we want the government to fake care of us. If we are ever to regain the spirit that made us a great nation and that is necessary if we are to remain a great nation, we must have a complete overthrow of the existing order—a strange thing for a conservative to say. But we do say it—and this change must come in both our national economy and our national politics. We must once again start paying our debt and living with in our income. Otherwise, we are headed for disastrous infla tion that will destroy our economy and we shall see ourselves weaken as other nations have weakekned that have not had the stamina and fortitude to stop this insidious process. Our national debt is now more than $275 billion and is headed steeply higher—a debt the like of which no nation on the face of the earth has ever known. We could commit a no more dastardly crime than to pass this debt on to our children as if we were in no way responsible for it—and yet that is what we give every indication of doing. We have balanced our national budget in only 6 of the last 28 years—and in at least two of these more or less by inadvertance. In other words, our government has spent more than it has earned, has lived beyond its means, in 23 of the last 28 years. We are now faced with a budget defi cit for the current fiscal year of between $10 billion and $12 billion—the highest peacetime deficit in our history.” Hospital Patients Legare Ammons, 621 Drayton St. Jesse O.
