A Landmark iear
As r rolls oC the calendar each year has one termxa.
characieristK in comm on with every ether year--« mass
at year-end reports, summaries and prophecies. I l ttx,
1973 is I k excepcon. tc other respects the year may be
remembered as one at the most significant in Arner>car
history
it begar witt me eiKtng at America’s longest
and most detested war. It traversed the long months at at
uiwr y envxjnmental realism It witnessed the nse at
what Mr Rogers C. B. Mortem. Secretary al the Interior,
has called 2*
Greatest Issue- Before The American
Peopie ’--the energy shortage.
And finally. E ushered
in a s-oir.r, ng debacle w g'.vernmentai affairs As a result
al Wawrgate and other scantols. the country was left
w ith no Vice President and a President oa the verge at
mg —hmrrr These events overshadowed further achive-
ments m space atm the steady march forward of other
at technological progress tta: held promts* at re-
soiv.og emrxmenta. and energy problems and at openxg
the way to a Eigner civLixation.
In retrospect, the multipie adversities of 1973 could turn
into Meionngs
The energy shortage, for distance, is
forcing r*cnfr.it.x t the fact that shutting dowx power
plante hai-.ng as and oil resource development, com-
pelltag closure at tietarxs and the laying att at : ountless
thousands of American clinens is a poor way tc- control
poüntrr. and nnprove the errirxBeat As for Watergate,
the general feeLng seems tc be one at mass disiUusx»-
metx with government and gtwemment officials Bu. here
again, events that fave the appearance at near catastr :gibe
may clowk long-range biessmgs
Centuries ago, the forefathers of present genet«:.ans of
Americans came tc the shores of what is now the United
States tc escape the ^pressate of tings. As the great
documents--such as the Detlaratioc rt independence and
the C ocst.tun on- - that act ompame; the Amencat Retaia-
tix aid the founding al our nation indicated aL too weL,
our forebears had nc intenLroc at escaping from joe tyranny
only to deLver themselves once aga;:. to despotic govern-
ment in the .New World. They believed x the stgiremacy
of the mdrvidual Md x reLpaas. political ant ecaocatK
freedom.
They believed x property rights and x p>
vermnett as the servant rather nar. the caster uf toe
people
»itt *Efm.te wisdom, they established a repre
sentative form at government _s .ng every safeguard against
tyranny they could dense
For well over a century the basic tenets of the Asencan
system remained vivid in the hearts and minds at .kineri-
can citoens. Thet somewhere along the Line the American
pin. os opt y became adulterated with new :ooceptt--catKepcs
that embraced the prXosopty of looting to government as
a leader rather that a servant. Witt ever-greater fre
quency since the turn at the century, and particularly
in the past thirty years or so, government was called upon
to solve focal problems, and each such cecasic* meant
delegatt^ more respotLSibility tc Wastuagtoa, the creation
of new bureaucracies and new gevernment spendxg pry-
grams.
As the preoccupatix w;tt centralized authority
grew, respect for private enterprise declined. The President
and the Congress became aL things tc aL met and were
expected to end depressrxs. provide perpetual abundance
and, x general, shield the public from the inevitable storms
ot human existence. It was, of course, an impossttiie jot.
In striving to de the uEpossibJe, the Amenean g-.vem-
ment became the greatest bureaucracy an Earth Water
gate has been the result It provides a graptuc example
of what happens whet people expect toe much gevemmen:
and become too dependent upon the good iffices of p -.Uicians
who are no longer servants. The year 1973 may very
likely go down u history as a memorable landmark be
cause it was the year that government was proven fallible
to the people of the United States It could be the year that
demonstrated the necessity of decentraLxiag federal autho
rity, of returning to the I as « c priac^les of state's right-
and of renewed fatt ia the scperioruy of the mdividual
It is indeed possible that 1973 will become one of the
lmpcrtant anniversaries x American history- H
tave
signaled the nation's turning away freon the long slide xtc
dependence on the state and rule by omniscient, centralized
authority.
It could herald a resurgence of belief in the
principles that undergird a naLocal life founded on x-
dindual responsibility and freedom protected by repre
sentative government and liberty under lav
