President’s “Cost Cutting”
Talk A Good Start
Our new president probably made
himself a lot more friends than
enemics among the taxpayers when
he advocated scme much-needed
reductions in federal spending.
Not being military experts, we
won't try to pass on the wisdom
of cutting back cn any particular
phase of the Defense Department’s|
heretofore planned weapons sys-I
tems. In 1950, Gen. Omair Bradley,
then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, stated that sl3 hiIli()nI
was adequate for national defense.
{ In 1953 dollars, this would be $14.73
billion. Adding another 50 porcenil
for the increased complexity of
modern weaponry, it would still
| be only $22 billion. Yet today’s de-
If(*nso budget approaches an astro-
I nemical $47 billion.
I The Constitution authorizes an
lAx‘my and Navy in other words,
i:m adequate defense structurc‘
' which, in modern times, includes
I:m Air Force and various types ()I’l
ll)allistic missiles. But what should
| definitely be cxamined is the usr.-I
I:h(\ing made of the $25 billion dif- |
{ ferential between Gen. Bx'u(llcy':;I
‘(‘stimuu- of an adequate defense
iand what is currentiy being up-I
I propriated. I
I The President’'s avowed desire toI
[ hold Federal expenditures to a
| minimum is laudable in itself; zde
lil is rather refreshing to note that |
‘he would pick the Defense l)o-I
Ipzn'lmonl as a primary area for|
I('lnscr scrutiny. The feeling all|
;u!(:ng seems to have been that the
! expenditures of cother departments
Imight be trimmed a little but
E])cfcnso. never! In fact, those who
have called for reduction of Fed-
I(.‘r;x'. expenditures have been hit,
| hard by politicians who claim that
'such a move would ruin our na
tional defense.
| What these politicians do not
know, or clse wish to conceal from
the American people, is a congres
| sional investigating committee l'c-l
port revealing the existence of
'some 19,000 businesses being con-I
Iductod by the Defense Dcpzu'tmontl
in direct competition with private,
itux-paying enterprise.
. This vast “civilian” complex, be
ling subsidized by the taxpayers, is
!estimated to cost the people nearly
$24 billion a year approximately
half of the annual Defense Budg
. et. That figures ties in very closely
| with Gen. Bradiey's estimate ad-
Ijusted for 1953. And ail of this
I“fut" has nothing to do with the
Istrictly military activities ~of re-
Icruiting. training and equipping, in
' which the Department should be
Isolely engaged.
i This is the area which we should
llike to sce the President turn his
attention, for this area offers no
| peril of unwise disarmament; andl
iit is actually a violation of the U. S.
|Constitution, in that the latter
i makes no provesion whatever for
ithc Government to compete with
iits citizens.

| Listen, Americans!
I By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON
‘, PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM l
] Searcy, Arkansas |
What is it that keeps the American idea of freedom of
enterprise and expansion of opportunity for all from spread
ing throughout the world ? This sales deficiency puzzles some
of our best minds. There seems to be a bias that prevails in
most of the world against profits, against management, and
even against enterprise. Of course, the international under
world for Marxism continually fights the American notion
of enterprise, predicting the death of capitalism. Obviously,
the spread of socialism and the attraction of Communism
has been a barrier.
Yet, it does seem, to an American familiar with the ad
vantages of his own system of mass preduction and mass con
sumption, that more peoples in other lands would choose the
American Way. There is no question but that for us our sys
tem has virtually eliminated poverty, brought satisfactory
working conditions, created wide social protection through
insurance and pension plans, and generally made us a nation
consumer-kings. Moreover, the profits of our industry have
supported vast philanthropic endeavors as well as the spraw
ling government.
This is without doubt the miracle of modern times, what
the American free enterprise system has wrought. Is Ameri
ca the only place where it will work? No, West Germany only
recently has tried it and found that it works beautifully thare.
In Japan it is working well, too. Other lands use the prin
ciples of ownership and initiative to spur production. Some of
the emerging nations could apply with advantage the lessons
America has learned. But many do not imitate us in this
respect, despite the fact that the failures of Communism
with its walls and famines are known to all, as are the suc
cesses of capitalism.
Communism’s agents have worked feverishly to push
Marxist ideas into Asia and Africa. The worst of colonizism
is identified with capitalism, while the five-year programs of
hot-house socialism offer little to the people except swarms
of politicians. Meanwhile, we have not impressed our world
neighbors at the U. N. with any special dedication to our
own system. If our words occasionally favor economic free
l(lom. our deeds shows no favors to capitalism.
i The worst, however, is that the past generation of our
Ipeople has not really known the why’s of America’s great
ness. Take a street sample on freedom of enterprise and its
supporting principles, and what do you find? Its most favor
jed recipients have been ignorant about the importance of
| profits in supplying the tools of production. The same has
ll)een said of high school students, who in the past have not
:- I)(jen well-grounded in fundamental rights and basic responsi
| bilities of our heritage.
| But we may hope to change these deficiencies, for some
| progress has been made. Today the conservative viewpoint
im politics is in the ascendency. College and university stu
| dents are ':_lskm:_r pointed, if _vxnlgul'l'ussing questions to their
i teachers. Ih}* new conservative is a well-informed ideologist,
i possessed of reasons why. He is backed by scholars and pub
| 11cuIInns and articulate leaders who do not want us to forgot
[ the important values inherent in the American Way. If we
l keep working until we have sold our own people on free enter-
Erise, pernaps we can stand up and recommend it to the rest
I()‘I' the world. !

HOLIDAY FIREWORKS I
In the United States, fireworks |
are associated with the celebra- |
tion of the Fourth of July. Our |
neighbors to the South use fire- |

of Christ.
In some sections of the Amer- ‘
icas, particularly on Christmas
Eve, fireworks are as traditional
as going to church or setting down I

|One President’s term came to an|
| abrupt end and another’s bcgzm.l
| Now we find that the impact ol'j
ilh(‘ unexpected change is still felt,!
|although we are aware of a cor-I
| tain sense of well-being as the ma-'
I('hinery of government moves along ‘
| as though nothing had happened to
lupsct its continuity. I
| The United States is the oldest |

| such continuity when fate steps
"in and brings a chief executive’s

dent expired, the Vice President
became our new President; and the

soon afterward.
I We reiterate—this wonderful

| A Definition Of Freedom l
I By Harry Browne |
| Editor, Freedom Magazine I
Authors continually attempt qu
define the word “freedom”. I
They create high-scunding phrases
to capture iits meaning; but soon'
find they have to qualify their defi
nitions when they descend from|
the abstract to the practical. 'l‘honl
they are forced to make all Kinds
of exceptions and restrictions for
the lofty ideal they've just created.
They become trapped by :;uvhl
auestions as “Does freedom of |
speech include the right to shoml
‘fire’ in a crowded theatre?” Or|
perhaps “Does freedom mean letting
companies engage in ‘cut-throat’
competition?” i
In the end. their concept of free
dom becomes nothing more than a
limited area in which we are free
to move as we desire—so long as
our desires conform with those of
the ruling authority.
True Meaning |
Obviously, that isn't freedom.|
But what is? |
The answer is very simple. It|
was eloquently expressed by Joseph |
Galambos when he said: “Freedom
is where each and every person has
100 percent control of his prop
erty.”
Isn't that an expressive defini
tion? It requires no elaboration, no
qualification, no exceptions. “Free
dom is where each and every per
from office, or of his death, res-l
ignation, or inability to discharge
the powers and duties of the said
office, the same shall devolve on
the Vice President . . .” |
No ambiguity in those words. No
interpretation necessary. The “du
ties of said office . . . shall devolve
on the Vice President.” How
promptly;: how obediently these
Constitutional instructions are fol
lowed.
“But”, some will say, “there is
no time in such an emergency to
do things differently. We must
read the literal meaning of the
Constitution.” Come now! Couldn’t
the Vice President simply fill in
as a de facto President while the
Congress mulls over calling a spe
cial election? After all, the Vice
President mayv be known to have a
philosophy differing somewhat
from that of the late President
and it may not exactly be in the
"‘,f:onoml welfare” to let such a
!man take the helm of the ship of
{ state.
j Preposterous? Of course it is.
! Especially to those who are con
| vinced that, if any part or parts
"of the Constitution serve the needs
‘of the nation in their literal langu
,age, then the entire Constitution
Ishould be taken literally.
| Furthermore, the same clear,
concise language that provides for
the continuity of the Presidential
cffice is to be found throughout the
Constitution from beginning to
end. Yet the Federal Government
is constantly engaged today in ac
tivities that have no pretense of
Constitutional authority. Govern
ment to government foreign aid is
one example. “Public power” is
another. A mile-long list could be
made showing federal intrusions
into areas forbidden by the Con
stitution areas made clear by
'language that delineates certain
powers and responsibilities to the
Federal Government and leaves all
others to the States and people.
I It is time for all of us to cultivate
anew the concept of the Govern
ment as the navigator of the ship
of state, rather than as a captain
barking orders. And let the points
of its compass be the steady, true
sArticlos of the U. S. Constitution.
