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.

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.
