PAUL BUNYAN PLANNERS
In these days of super social
planning, it is well to call attention
tothe fact ‘that the same kind of
steady progress which in the last]
century and a half brought the peo-
“ple “of this country unparalleled
‘comfort and security, is still con-
_ tiguing unhalted.
Medicine is a typical example. An
editorial in Hygeia, the Health Ma-
gazine, states that: “The American
medical profession and the people
it serves have initiated many ex-
periments in wider distribution of
the services of ‘the medical profes-
sion ‘and the hospitals. In many
areas where there is concentration
of population due to war industries,
the Federal Housing Administra-
tion has established great housing
projects ‘with which are associated
ayment plans for the distribu-
“tion of medical service, dispensaries,
and ‘clinics in "which individual
or groups ‘provide med-
hr ‘the state medical
‘plans, such as that of Cali-
fornia, ‘have ‘contracted with Fed-
eral agencies to sapply medical ser-
vice to the workers who live in such
‘projects. ‘All this progress has been
‘made without regimenting the peo-
‘ple, ‘the physicians, or the hospitals
‘of the United States in a politically
controlled bureaucracy.” /
Admittedly this is not a world-
shaking development. But Ameri-
can progress is made up of a lot of
short steps, always ‘in the right di-
rection. No single step has been
startling. ‘We have come a long way
with those short steps. We have not
come: so far that a single long,
though spectacular, stridé—in the
‘wrong ‘direction—camnot tzke us
back | “beyond the starting point.
“Some of the more drastic planners
would have us do just that, take 2a

The nation can ill afford to lose
the productive effort of a single
farm. And yet nearly $300,000 worth
of farm property is destroyed by
fire each day. The bulk of this daily
waste is directly attributable to in-
dividual _carclessness and ignorance,
just as is the bulk of fire loss in ur-

every effort to produce the food to
feed ourselves and our allies. They
should likewise bend every effort

HISTORY'S BIGGEST JOB
When this war is over the United
‘States will be in no position to re-
turn: te iselaticnism. Hard-headed
economists agree that a broad pro-
gram eof international trade is the
only. sound method by which the
American people can hope to ser-
C
cumulzting. In plainer words, we
will either trade with the world.
thus helping to maintain maximum
production and employment for
American industry and American
workers in order that they may pay
the .taxes that ‘will be needed by a
debt-burdened government, or we
will retreat toward isolation, bank-
ruptey end another war.
We have everything to gain by
tek the lead in establishing a just
end Je ent peace, and. in break-
ing down artificial trade barriers
betwcon nations. Millions of men
now in the armed forces will bring,
heme with them a new understand- |
irz of the problems and needs of
the rest of the world. These men
wiil have been seen demonstrated
the hopeless plight of people broken
under tyrannical governments. They
will have seen why our forefathers
fled the old world to set up the
American Republic. They will bring
home with them a realization that
war is a destroyer of freedom; that
recuriing war abroad will ultimate-
ly clutch with ble>dy fingers at our
own freedom.
As good American business men,
they will rcalize that we have ahead
of us the biggest organizing and
| selling job .in history if we are to
help prevent future wars and save
ourselves {rem bankruptcy and en-
slavement. We will have to help
formulate and enforce a lasting
peace, while leading the way in re-
habilitating the world through
trade.
This job kas already commenced
unter the foreign trade policy of the
American government. It should be
carried forward in preparation for
the day when peace returns.
