THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN SO BARRY GOLDWATER has been nominated by the Re publicans for the presidency. I rejoice in that for he im pressed me as far superior to his competitors. It is a bit difficult for me to understand the bitter attitude of million aires like Rockefeller and Scranton. I have regarded those gentlemen as beyond the pettiness shown in the effort to prevent the nomination of Senator Goldwater; they forgot their dignity and poise, though both are Governors of great States and both have inherited millions. Mr. Goldwater impresses me as man of character, self- control, sound judgment and courage. Our country has run around the world dropping millions upon millions here, there and the other place, although we are head over heels in debt and harshly over-taxed here at home Our nation seems to be like a ship without control; we have thrown about billions upon billions of dollars, while operating oppressively on much of our business. We need to review of course and listen to men who have done some thing constructive instead of being under the sway of theor ists, speculative economists whose economy has no kinship with wise spending. It is a confusion of words when we call our political spendthrifts Economists; they are wasteful dreamers. We are somewhat unc^pr the heel of various Federal Com missions, groups exercising executive, legislative and judi cial powers. In any study of our National Government we must rigorously include the several commissions. Naturally I suggest a scrutiny of Congress, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. All are running far off the limits of our constitutional plan. The case from Darlington is a luminous example of gov ernment by commission.* A clear statement of a case aris ing in Darlington, S. C. is discussed very clearly and capably by Raymond Moley in Newsweek. I quote Mr. Moley: “While the public is fascinated by LBJ’s war on poverty, several of the agencies over which the great almoner pre sides are pursuing their own business with unabated vigor. A good example is a case which originated with the Dar lington Manufacturing Co., a small textile operation which had its origin in South Carolina in 1883. In 1937 it ran into trouble and passed through bankruptcy proceedings. At that time Deering, Milliken, Inc. acquired 41 per cent of the Darlington stock shares. Deering Milliken continued as sales agent for Darlington. For a while the company did well, but beginning in 1952 it encountered hard going which continued until 1956, when the company was liquidated. There was nothing dubious about this dissolution of the company. Its plant and equip ment were sold, and its contracts were transferred to other independent companies. However, early in the year of its liquidation the Textile Workers Union of America had held an organization drive and won a small majority for the union. The National La bor Relations Board certified the union as the employes’ bar gaining agent. After the liquidation, the union appealed to NLRB, which sent in a trial examiner. He ruled that closing the business was an unfair labor practice, and also that Darlington was responsible for wages up to the actual termination of the business. Nevertheless, the trial examiner ruled that Deering Mill iken and its affiliated companies were not to be regarded as a single company with Darlington and were not responsible^ for the unfair labor practice. He also ruled that there was ample justification for the liquidation other than the pres ence of the union. The NLRB was not satisfied with the rulings of the trial examiner and three more examinations were held. Ultimately after the Kennedy Administration took over and substan tially reconstructed the NLRB, the NLRB rendered a sweep ing decision that the plant closing was an unfair labor prac tice because one of the reasons was the advent of the union. It also held that Deering Milliken and the companies affil iated with it along with Darlington constituted a single em ployer and that all were accountable for the unfair labor practice. They were ordered to pay back wages until such time as the employees were either hired by Deering Milliken or were placed in preferential hiring lists in the mills operat ed by the affiliated companies. The case was taken to the U. S. Court of Appeals, which decided that Darlington had an ‘absolute prerogative' to go out of business and that the NLRB had no authority to as sess damages. The union appealed the case to the Supreme Court, where it will be argued this fall. Two basic principles are involved in this case, both of which bear upon the vast authority which has been assumed by the NLRB. The owners of a business have a right to liquidate their company, provided it is a bona fide closing and does not dis turb the public welfare materially. Going out of business, as well as going into business, is a basic element in a r ree enterprise system. Equally important is thethreat that the NLRB decision presents to the principles of corporate liability. In determ ining that a single employer was involved, the NLRB lump ed together numerous companies which were related to the Deering Milliken company as sales agent. While these companies were owned in varying degrees by the same in terests that owned Darlington, they also had hundreds of other stockholders who had no interest in Darlington or in one another. All were held liable. If the Supreme Court should hold one corporation liable for the debts of another simply because there is an identity of stockholders, it would be a devastating blow to the cor porate form of business enterprise. It would mean that a corporation could never be sure about its real financial ob ligations because it could not know the complete holdings of its stockholders. Without the corporate form of business with its limited liability, it would be impossible to raise the capital to keep the nation moving forward and to provide jobs for our ever-growing population.” Riding around through Clarendon, Sumter, Orangeburg counties recently I was amazed to see thick, luxuriant corn, resplendent in full green, with almost no firing. Cotton was robust, and so were tobacco and beans. I have never seen a more promising prospect for our farmers. The Agricultural Economists are trying to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for food by the world hungry humanity. “Within the last hour the world’s population has grown by more than 8,400 newborn souls, 292 of them American. Our abundance will continue to outstrip our needs—if we can continue increasing our productivity. But today Am erican agricultural employment, rural population, and the number of farms are in swift decline. Yet, each acre of those farms yields more; each farm-hand controls greater horsepower. Farm machinery ranges from tractors to planes. More than 7,00 aircraft are spraying, fertilizing, (and seeding. Result: U. S. crop production at a rate of only two man-days’ work per acre vs. a Far East average of 400.” Every man who moves to town takes one producer from the fields and adds one consumer (and family) to the num ber depending on the crops. In South Carolina we are blessed in so many things. Most of our State has water, even though the wells must often be deep. We have some areas not rich in water. It may be possible to find water hundreds of feet deeper, but that isn’t practicable for some small tenants. I recall the idea of the Governor of California to use nuclear power to solve the water problem. “Governor Pat Brown thinks California could use nuclear power to help solve its water problems. A study made with the governor’s blessing has found that using atomic power to pump water from northern to southern California would cut costs by 30 per cent.” Most of us learned a bit of simple arithmetic at school, even if the average man of today can’t add several figures, unless he holds an adding machine. Even then he may touch the wrong key now and then. Our Economists of giant intellect suggest that a nation prospers from deficits. If that be true perhaps the same rule may apply to the individual. Let him buy and buy; borrow and borrow until he becomes prosperous. How does that strike you? Of course we have known exponents of the art of squandering money but they did not always emerge as multimillionaires. The suggestion that a nation may indulge in deficits as a policy hardly commends itself to our Scotch thrift, does it ? Let us think over this as to the speculative or theoretical Economists, as cited by Henry Hazlitt. “Their theory is now that we should always run a budget deficit as long as there is any unemployment. And though we have already run 28 deficits in the last 34 years, they deplore only six surpluses. Wh. ' will be the result if their theories continue to be followed? It was crushingly demonstrated in the ’30s that even heavy uninterrupted deficits cannot cure mass unem ployment. But more deficits can and must lead to further increase in the national debt, further increase in the money supply, a further rise of prices, and a further depreciation of the dollar. The purchasing power of the dollar has al ready been reduced 63 per cent since 1933 and 43 per cent since 1945. Whether the deficits are ‘planned’ or unplanned, the re sult in always the same.” ARE YOU LISTENING? By EARL WILSON One of the greatest hazards on the highways today is the back seat driver. This is the person who is not operating the vehicle but is quick to tell the operator how it should be done. The per son who is driving is trying to watch the road, to satisfy his own initiative, and to listen also to that person. May times his mind becomes so divided that he is not able to drive as he should. One of the greatest hazards in the spiritual world today is the “Backseat Christian.” This is the person who is willing to be an ob server in the church who is ready to criticize, but is never willing to give any of his own time or his own efforts to become a vital part of that church. This is the greatest weakness in our world to day. Millions claim to be a part of the church but they will never get involved in the ministry of that church. We need to recognize that the greatest evangelistic force in the world today is the Communist party. They have, in just fifty years, moved with such force that they now have some 800 million people listed in their cause. This) is true because the individual member of the party is not asham ed to go out and to witness for the Communist cause. They have outstripped Christianity in every possible way, because people who claim to be Christians will not become involved, will not speak out in the name of what they say they believe. “Backseat Christians” are a hazard to the world of today be cause they are not willing to live the life that Christ has called them to live. Jesus has said that as Christians it is our responsib ility to bear witness to the truth. It is the responsibility of every person who claims to be a Christ ian to bear a witness as to what Jesus Christ has meant in his life, and what he can mean in the lives of others who will trust him. Jesus was speaking to “Backseat Dri vers” when he said “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven.” Are you listening?
