Business After the War
Babton Prucbd on "Enterprise vs. Entertainment"
after the war? We can even
disarm them; but thU will not
prevent them from working
harder and longer than we do.
Thii latter Is what will count
most after the war. We cer
tainly will lose In the end un
less we again encourage enter
prise by reducing taxes, curbing
labor unions and teaching our
children to do what they don't
want to do when they don't
want to do It!
The various New Deal pro-
grama of price-fixing, rationing,
bonuses, pensions, short hours,
double-time wages, leaf raking,
free entertainment, food stamps
and raising taxes instead of
babies might be okay If we were
the only nation; but we are not.
Every American and Canadian
city must after the war sell
Its labor and its products in new
world markets.
Some day we shall have tre
mendous competition from the
people of Europe, Asia and
Africa. To these people, Presi
dent Roosevelt has promised
"freedom from fear and want."
No tariff can then be high
enough to keep out the products
of our allies, the English,
Dutch, Russians and Chinese;
let alone the products of Ger
many, France, Italy and Japan.
For a few years after the war,
while Europe Is recouping, busl
ness should be good; but only a
return to real religion, hard
work, longer hours and free en
terprise will prevent a late de
pression of tremendous magnitude.
, Gloucester, Mass., July 17. For the past two weeks I have
been vlsit'ng here In the city where I was brought up. In fact,
I am writing this column in the house in which I was born and
on the lot of land upon which the first Babson squatted. She was
Isabel Babson who landed here in 1637. Let me add that one
of my ancestors who lived In this 12-room house had 21 children.
He had a real hedge against both inflation and depression!
Enterprise Sapped
By Growing Taxes
What changes do I notice here
from year to year? The chief
one end this applies likewise
to thousands of other cities is
the lack of enterprise. In fact,
this was evident before the pre
sent war. The truth is that the
money which was formerly
risked In developing new indus
tries has, for the past 10 years.
been needed to pay new taxes
This is a very sad fact which
must be corrected if cities like
Gloucester are to thrive again
Increased taxes have not cut
living expenses but have come
wholly out of money wnlcn
heretofore went into new build
ings, new factories, new ships
and other investments. This is
the real reason for the unem
ployment which preceded the
war and which is bound to come
.again, some time after the war,
unless the taxes are greatly re
duced.
More Entertainment.
Less Work Is Aim
I am troubled by the shorter
hours which everyone "except
mother" is working. Stores,
which used to open at T a. m..
do not open until 8:30 a. m,
called upon a prominent farmer
'on July work day and found
.him and his family in bed at
7:30 a. m. Yet, the night before
.he complained about the short
age of farm labor! Of course
the labor unions are now power
ful here; they also are helping
to kill enterprise.
Fifty years ago we all went
to bed fairly early, very few
were on the streets after dark.
Now, Main street Is so full of
ears, belonging to people at
! tending the evening movies, that
' you can hardly get through.
'Although enterprise Is dead,
every form of entertainment Is
booming. A city progresses,
.however, through work, not
through amusement.
Church Attendance
hows Big Decline
I im especially troubled by
-the decline In church attend
ance. The Roman Catholic
church appears an exception;
but most of the Protestant
churches have very small con
gregations. A big church,
which used to be packed dur
. lng my boyhood days, and where
on Sunday mornings you found
the leading men of the city, now
looks very forlorn. Yet, cities
must have vital and growing
churches In order to prosper in
the long run.
, The way chain stores have
supplanted the local merchants
Is very noticeable. Moreover,
the successful Independent stores
are mostly owned by Hebrews,
Greeks and Italians. This is no
criticism of these races; in fact,
it Is to their credit. They have
been willing to work harder
and save money while the native
people could not stand the gaff.
These new races, moreover, are
rightly having large families
while the descendants of the
bid stock seem content with
only one child or even none.
What of Builnesa
After the WarT
"What has all this to do with
business after the war?" you
ask. Let me tell you. We can
lick the Germans and Japanese
during the war, but can we
