Arkansas 4 A LETTER came to my desk a few weeks ago containing one paragraph that astonished me. It read: "At the-church con ference held in this southern dis trict a speech was made against the profit motive.” That any American group, particularly a religious group, should tp' •*■; voice against ,the profit . struck me as amazing. To get rid of the profit motive, you '.vcold have to find some sub stitute for economics in modern civilization. You would have to eliminate all trading and market Puving and selling. You wot ait have to get rid of money and other mediums of exchange. Ycu would have to cease barter ing And swapping. In fact, you would have to reduce your mod ern civilization to self-sufficiency of the individual. A modern and complicated civilization like our own could not do without trade, exchange, manufacturing, raw materials and production. You just have to ask more than it cost you ' t is i . . i i i*s. Just Two THERE ARE only two Systems ways that an economy may operate. In Amer ica individuals own farms, stores, factories, and run them for the chief purpose of making enough profit to live on. The other way is for government to own every thing, operating all production merely for the purpose of feed ing the people and supplying what it thinks are their needs. The profit motive is the very foundation of our American way of life. It is the Constitutional way in our country. It has pro duced more enthusiasm, finer co operation, and a greater abund ance of clothing, food, housing, and transportation than the EEraaoK:-;.,’?. «--— - masses of the people have ever known in any other country. The other kind of economy, owned and operated by the gov ernment, attempts to do away with the profit motive. Actually, it does away with incentives, indi vidual initiative, and efficiency. This kind of economy soon set tles down to a “what's-the-nse” status, offering only the I-. at necessities to its people. Advance RUSSIA is a good ex- < Agents? ample of this. Russia has attempted to sub stitute other enthusiasms for those of owning property and making profit, but she has found that whenever she wanted in creased industrial output, she had to imitate some of the incentives that are so common in America. The very conet- ts of freedom of the individual spring from the Bible. Therein you will find the foundation for the freedoms and liberties that America has built upon. I am unable to explain why church leaders are willing to attack the profit motive. To do so indicates tremendous misun derstanding of the Amer'cnr, way of life, of our ernment, and o ' individual. | Let us not confuse greed and sin with the profit motive. There is nothing un-Ghristian, nor anti social in fair and honest buying and selling and trading. One who is against the profit motive is in reality opposed to ownership of property, for when the profit mo tive is taken away the right to own things must go with it. It is high time for some of our re ligious people to start thinking through these things. Doing this, perhaps they would refuse to be used as advance agents of social ism and communism.

EDITORIALS When Will We See The Light? This is election year. It is the year that that that we can express our rue feelings with the ballot. Mos of us have never fully real ized what it has cost the gener ations before us for this right, or we could not, unless bedridden, fail to vote. And yet many of our community, tthe community that holds the balance of power for all local elections and somi past, failed to exercise this cher ished right. When will we sea the light? There are those amoungst us that have lived in the city for years and have not established residence, therefore we are un able toy vote. There are those that take so' little interest in any elec tion, but will yell to the sky if the man thaata represents their disrict does not ook out for their righs. And there are those that are just living, without a purpose, without an objective; hoping and praying that God will make life a little more bearable for them, but not ttrying o help Nim do it i When will we see the light? We fully realize that in some states the only way that a mem ber of our race dare vote, if he could, is by television. Many of us are hese today because we could no longer live under the strain, and there are those amoungst us that have often said we would rather be dead! than re turn to such a life. Are we doing anything to help our brother that must remain in these condi tions if he wishes to survive? j When will we see the light? This is an election year. A here in this part of the United States we are not questioned abount our color when we enter the booth to mark our ballot. That is, if we enter. And if we fail t enter we should remain sil ent about anything happening in our district, in our city, or county, or our state. When will we see the light?
