Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas Foundation For Freedom Some of the most loyal citizens in America are aiding the Com munist cause unwittingly. The Communist agents among us are many and they are skilled in their nefarious work. They have enlist ed tens of thousands of non-Com- munist Americans in their hun dreds of Communist fronts, thus creating a powerful force work ing for Communist world-wide objectives. But one of the most destructive tactics is that of keep ing American opinion- shattered into many fragmentary groups, badly divided on basic issues, un decided on basic principles. For instance ,the Communists have persuaded many influential Americans that there is really no specific definition for the term “The American way of life.” These loyal but misguided Amer icans contend that the term is an “abstraction,” that there are as many definitions for it as there are people. This means that we don’t have any common idealogy for Americans to stand for. At least that is what some Ameri cans say, influenced by subtle Communist thought shaping. But it is a fallacy. There is a specific definition for “The American way of life.” It is acceptable to all Americans—whatever their race, creed or color, whatever their calling, whatever their economic station in life. We can all rally around it and defend it, if we know about it and understand it. The Definition An acceptable definition for “The American way of life” is: A social system built upon the foundation of Faith in God, with a 'governmental system anchored to the United States Constitution, (a Republic), and with a capital istic economic system having as its keystones the principles of pri vate “ownership of property, the competitive market, and the pro fit motive. It can be put even more simp ly: Faith in God, Constitutional Government, Private Enterprise. Here are the three great pillars of our American system. They are not complex or abstract. They are understandable. And every Amer ican can stand for them proudly. Every American likewise has the responsibility to defend them, to safeguard them from erosion, un dermining, gradual smothering, or outright destruction. First Pillar Let’s examine the first, founda tion pillar: Faith in God. The leaders among the Pilgrim fami lies who settled along our eastern shores 350 years ago were Godly pi ople. The Mayflower arrived off P ymouth Rock on a Saturday ev ening^ but all day Sunday the his toric voyagers remained aboard the little ship and worshipped God. That day too they created and signed the Mayflower Compact, which began—“In the name of God, Amen. . .” / When the Pilgrims built their communities, the church was the very first building to go up. In all of America’s founding docu ments, the leadership of our ris ing young nation expressed a beautiful reverence for God Al mighty, a deep and abiding faith. The great Declaration of Inde pendence ended with the immortal words: “. . . with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Provi dence ... we pledge . . .” Jeffer son himself said: “The God who gave us life gave us Liberty.” At the Constitutional Convention, the delegates prayed. Inner Motivation WASHINGTON AND SMALL BUSINESS By C. WILSON HARDER C. W. Harder the FTC has The Federal Trade Commis sion has started a proceedings against the New York unit of the Macy department store chain that could have far reach ing effects. # • * * Undoubtedly prodded by the Senate and House Small Business Committees and a disgust with the: headline seeking an tics of Its chairman, Earl Kintner, the fearless regulator of disc jockeys, launched an important issue. * a * In 1958 the Macy store in New York which accounts for about half of the firm’s $450,- 000,000 a year business, decided to hold a year long celebration of its 100th anniversary. * a * And, according to FTC in vestigators, it was a most nn- usual way of celebrating. For according to the complaint, Macy approached some 750 of its 20,000 reputed suppliers and asked them to contribute $1,000 each to this birthday. a a a By early 1959 the firm received 482 pledges to pay this cum- shaw and so far the firm has collected $524,000. a a a And according to the FTC complaint, even now, two years after the event, suppliers are still ponying up to Macy’a. * a a It is interesting, if indeed not chocking, to note, according to the FTC data, how far down the list the outfit went in pick ing victims for the “voluntary” $1,000 donations. © National Federation of Independent Buainesa For example, the David Kahn company, which sold Macy’s a mere $10,000 worth of pens and pencils “donated*’ $1,000, which is equal to 10% of its yearly sales to the store. The Record Corporation of America, which sold the store $15,841 worth of phonograph records also “co operated.” a a a Unfortunately, under present laws, even if FTC wins this case, it can only order Macy’s to cease and desist. a a a Obviously, most of the sup pliers are not in a position to make an equal donation to all of their customers, even on a pro rata basis. a a a There seems to be a fine dis tinction to be made here be tween morality and immoral ity. According to statements made, Macy officials seemingly find nothing immoral in re questing people who have goods on their shelves to kick in with a thousand dollars. Yet it is pretty sure bet that if the po licemen holding down the beat around the Macy premises went to these same officials and merely said that if Macy would give them each a thousand dol lars they would keep an extra sharp eye on their plate glass windows, there would be high screams of great immorality: • • * Police officers would not have to say that the windows would be broken unless there was some cumshaw. It would still be immoral. By the same to ken, probably no Macy supplier was told they would be thrown out unless they came across. Therefore, this made the situa tion entirely moral. It often ap pears of late that the determi nation of morality is who gets the money. It is vitally important to un derstand that only a people who are spiritually motivated and guided from within can be free. If our allegiance were not to ». Higher Power—to God—our moral code would be man-made, or rath er self-made. To be selfish would not he wrong. To covet would not be wrong. Bakunin, the first Russian Communist, said: “Let your own happiness be your guide to life.” Without moral un derpinning, this is an invitation to the lowest animal impulses. Where people are motivated by such a Godless code, the Police State is necessary. There is no inner compulsion to do right. Our laws in America come out of the moral concepts of Right. Since we are a Godly nation the average citizen breaks a law only accid entally. This has been true through the course of our his tory. Now, however, crime is on thi? increase. And every day more and more Americans are breaking the more important, the moral laws of God. This is getting at the root of our gravest problems. The foun dation stone of our American sys tem is being eroded. We need to recognize it as the foundation stone, and we need to he sure that in the heart and the behavior of each of us it becomes the foun dation stone for our every action. ;f V4 Gilliam Dies At Hospital Charles D.
