The oAmerican Way THE PROFIT MOTIVE By GEORGE PECK Too many Americans believe was forced to obtain sustenance that the'attack on our American Capitalistic System, which for no good reason we apologetically have come to call the Free En ierprise System, is a threat only .ue businessman. It IS a threat to the business man the abolition of the Amer ican Capitalistic System would destroy him but such annihila tion would also take away the cherished liberties of every man, woman and child in the nation, irrespective of creed, race or sta tion in life. The Bill of Rights would go out the window and our heralded Constitution would be but a scrap of paper. The anti-business, anti-capital istic proponents decry the profit motive. Some of them go so far as to quote Scripture on the re lation of property ownership and the common good, and suggest that if the profit motive were re moved, great masses of people would benefit. The Very Rev. Charles E. McAl lister, Dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, Spokane, Wash., takes sharp issue with this. He states that socialism, the system that proposes to do away with private profit, has shown itself in many respects inconsist ent with Christian teachings, during Lent of this year, he yeliv ered a sermon on the subject, tive." I pass on to you the clos ing words of that stirring sermon. "Christianity and the Profit Mo- From here on it Is Dean McAllis ter speaking: There were two bands of pil grims who came to America, both as far as we can ascertain, of equal character and ability. One landed on a West Indies island, where everything was easy and comfortable, and it was never heard of afterwards, as far as exercising any influence on hu manity was concerned. The other landed on an inhospitable shore, was met by savage Indians, and I f-rxr tnn fprtilp land. xiviii a jiuiic These latter furnished the spirit ual and economic foundations of our nation and democracy. They were Christians. They were capa. ble of sacrifice. They were work ers. They believed in reward for honest toil and they had no use for the parasite who refused to work, but wanted to live on the profits of other men's labor. We can never inspire youth to great endeavor if we encourage them in the thought that life con sists of getting something for nothing, by whatever means, fair or foul. It is certainly not social justice to take away the earnings of the industrious and the efficient, and give them to the lazy and incom petent. It is certainly not Chris tian, for under such a system Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself" is forgotten. But instead, we have "Love thyself, it makes no difference what happens to thy neighbor." Everyone of us is called to do needful work. That work is re warded so that every honest man who is not physically handicap ped can pay his own way. Of course, there are inequalities in our economic system. There are evils that need to be corrected. Management, labor, and govern ment are all guilty iii varying degrees of these evils. The profit motive exists In the spiritual realm. We live up to a certain moral code that there may be a little heaven here on earth as well as hereafter. Just because there has been, abuse of the exercise of the profit motive is not reason for us to sacrifice the freedom to work, to live, and to help others. Let us correct the abuses, but at the same time, we might well remember the words of Studdert Kennedy when he said, "We must be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater."

BV MERVIN SHOEMAKER Staff Writer, The Oreffonlan ON A CLEAR DAY, a mag nificent scene is spread before the eyes of residents of north' west Oregon and southwest Washington. With only a quarter-turn of the head they can thrill to the grandeur of three mighty guardians of the Columbia Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens. Each stands by itself in a splendid isolation that gives this trio a distinction over even higher mountains that come in groups and bunches. Mt. Hood, whose 11,345-foot elevation makes it the middle height mountain of the three, is far ahead of the other two in development as a recreation area. The famed Mt. Hood Loop highway goes half around the mountain at the 3000 to 4000 foot level, and permits reason ably close automobile in spection of upper levels almost completely around the m o u n -tain. While familiarity has dulled the edge of wonder for many local residents, these far rocky reaches with glacier fin gers clutching high are a never failing source of amazement and awe to those new in the region. Climbing Routes Vary Mt. Hood also is an intimate host to mountain climbers, of fering routes to the peak that are kind to the novice as well as those to test the daring of the most skillful climbers. Skiing is the most popular attraction of Mt. Hood, and a modern ski lift takes skiers high on the mountainside for the beginning of the matchless Magic Mile swoop down to Tim berline lodge. Timberline lodge at the 6000-foot level is headquar ters for the Mt. Hood play ground, and its accessibility has been enhanced recently by construction of the world's largest and longest passenger carrying aerial tramway. The 36-passenger cars are boarded at a point on State Highway 50 near Government Camp. A 3.1-mile ride through a vertical distance of 2135 feet gives a 20-minute breathtaking view of tree and crag from a vantage point previously un available. The northward traveler on the Mt. Hood Loop highway takes a last over-the-shoulder look at Mt. Hood and turns his eyes ahead to Mt. Adams. This, in the Indian legend, is the other of the battling braves whom the Great Spirit turned into mountains as punishment for brawling. Hmwr -"J , . -I . v j V ' ' ' Mt. Adams rules primitive, unspoiled wilderness. T51 pheasants, quail and Even then, the legend goes, the bitter enemies continued their feud, spewing flames and rocks at each other until they destroyed the natural rock bridge across the Columbia, where their "truly fair" tended the ever-burning fire. She be came Mt. St. Helens. Mt. Adams. 12,307 feet, is the more austere and forbidding of these two old warriors standing as sentinels over the mighty river that carries their melting snow waters to the sea. But Adams is a white-blanketed, dour-faced old Indian only to those who approach without a feeling for the primitive, an ap preciation of nature unspoiled, a realization that here is a piece of the Old West that will be a long time in completely passing away. Mt. Adams is that big. K. u. Langfieid, tne u. s. forest service district ranger at Guler, points to more than 50 established camp grounds, and other outdoor facilities, to show that the forest service appre ciates the potentialities of the area. In this area of the Gifford Pinchot national forest there are an abundance of streams and lakes, where as always the best fishing awaits those willing to work to get at it. The same goes for hunting on the mountain, which abounds in deer, bear, cougar, ducks, .ejarsae. PORT LA VD i3 "V.-' Route ot two-day motorlog. geese, grouse. There is a popular ski run at Trout lake also good fishing here, and easily accessible but skiing has not been developed here as at Mt. Hood. Mt. St. Helens is a 9671-foot ice cream cone peak as viewed from Portland. Closer to popu lation centers than is Mt Adams, it lies somewhere be tween Adams and Hood for de velopment as a vacation play ground. Road Well Maintained ' Here, only a 105-mlIe drive 0 from Portland, is one of thej. most enticing vacation spots of the Pacific Northwest. The 46 mile state highway from Castle Rock, Wash., to the lake is well maintained. There are two resorts on the banks of the lake. For those who want the facility of easy come-and-go, and something of modern conveniences, there is -Mt. St. Helens lodge, situated right where the highway first approaches the lake, and just below the point where water flows from Spirit lake to form the north fork of the Toutle river. , Lovers of the primitive and they are many may travel a mile farther along a forest serv ice road until they find a tele phone in a small shelter fast ened to a tree. Here they may call Jack Nelson's Harmony Falls, across the lake, and they will be picked up by a motor launch, only means of trans portation between this resort and the outside world. Visitors at Harmony falls build a wood fire in the morn ing and use water taken by bucket from Harmony Falls creek for drinking and bathing. They rough it with a capital 'R.' But they get a maximum of peace and quiet, in the giant firs that tower above the near by cliff from which Harmony falls itself sends down a 200 foot cascade of clear, cold water. The falls' daytime roar turns to a nighttime lullaby after a zestful day on the lake, or hik ing along forest trails.
