Since 1900 our production per man-hour has been increasing at the rate of 2'a a year-far faster than any other nation's in the world. In the last 44 years we have tripled the amount of goods each gainfully employed person can product-tripled our standard of living. 3. fa II we utt kaaa our present rate of progress, we can double it again in 25 to 30 years. But we've got to maintain our Free Competitive Enterprise Sys tem to do it For that system is based on two funda mental principles: PROFIT and COMPETITION. And whenever a nation has tampered loo much 'mi tither principle ill standard of living has suffered. 4 Same hove practically eliminated competition by allowing private monopolies of land and industry. Others have eliminated both profit and competition by government ownership. But in either case, the aver age man has taken the rap. Our system isn't perfect yet, but let's be sure that any "improvements" we consider don't hamstring the two principles that have made us great.
