Fundamentals of Prosperity
ÖLAM BO
The prosperity of the American people is based
upon vast resources high efficiency, hard work and
sound governmental policies, according to Robert
H. Ellis, vice president of the southern division of
the chamber of commerce of the United States, in
an interesting article in the National Republic on
the business outlook in , the United States.
“ As 'to whether or not our prosperity con
tinues, lies in our own hands, and will come as a
result of our own performance, Mr. Ellis declare».
“ Over production of any one or several commodities
whether manufactured or from the soil is some
thing that we must avoid. Uniformity of production
in relation to consumption, a balanced ration, so to
speak, is the thing to strive for in order to insurç
continued and uniform prosperity.
The law ,of
supply and demand works now as it always has and
always will, but greater production and the happy
working of labor with good wages as result of
that work make for continued prosperity because
he consumes what his brother produces and vice
versa.
“ I sometimes wonder what will happen when
every division of every industry and every nation
reaches what they are striving for—complete effi
ciency in production, and a complete and ideal adap
tion of all the methods of breaking down soles
resistance—I have concluded that what will happen
is that it will never happen.
*5The necessary thing for us to do is to more
consistently worship at the shrine of common sense
and common humanity, keep our feet on the ground
and our heads level in the striving and competition
for development Let’s hold on to idealigni now and
get away from irregular and unsound business prac
tices. Stop irregularities of every kind, and each
know right from wrong, and keep in the open, in
the fresh air, let the sunlight of known sound prac
tices be our guide, whereby we can look in the
mirror and see the reflection of a man true and
tfied, and not a shadow of falsity in thoughts and

performance.
“ No people—no nation were ever so favored
and endowed with the God ¿givo»’ rights and privil
eges that are today freely resting in the hands of
Americans, and the rest of the world is pretty well
provided for, too, if they only know how to practice
and to usé the things that make men great w h en
ever they are.
“ In our strategic position in relation to other
countries geographically and as to natural resources
and the intelligence to use them well, we are given
the financial leadership of the world. Our man
power créâtes—produces more, receives more, uses
more and is happy. By using these forces and
privileges as fane, honest people should use them,
makes men confident of.the future. Nineteen twenty-
seven should be a year of rational prosperity, and
veryone has a right to be conservatively optimistic,
and we should all thank God that Wa have many
things to be thankful f o r /’
Propaganda
«mu.
PUBLISHED BY THE 'ASHLAND PRINTING ‘CO
In the Saturday Evening Post of January 15th
Garrett Garrett tells the American people much of
what they ought to know about international propa
ganda: how foreign nations successfull connive to
put over on his country ideas which serve their
interests rather than onr own.
Prior to the World war the American people
knew little of the deep and devious methods of
political propaganda as it has long been practiced in
Europe, where an expert system of befooling and
befuddling public opinio» in the interests of the
ambitions of certain nations had been developed!.
With the beginning of the World war this sys
tem was transferred to the United States. If it were
in the open, it would not be dangerous. But it is car
ried on under camouflage so clever that Americans
accustomed to deal above the table have fallen eaay
victims to its deceptive influences.
In the name of peace, international amity,
altruism and other highly ethical causes, insidious
attack is made on proper national preparedness, on
a tariff protective of American standards of living,
on American political and industrial independence,
and on the very principles and ideals underlying
the institutions of the United States.
We need more propaganda in behalf of Ameri
can ideas, ideal« and interests, and more public
Bnderstanding and resentment against alien propa
ganda. The politician or the newspaper engaged in
serving any foreign cause antagonistic to the inter
ests and welfare of the American people is little
less than a traitor. The type of hewhpaper and
politician that in every important controversy be
tween the United States and any foreign power,
always assumes that his coffntrv is wroiyf, should
fall beneath the scorn of every American who be-
tteves that the firet concern of evei^ patriot should
be his own country.
