Sugar House Chamber To Hold Election Editorial (Continued from Page 1) tee will make its report to the president October 17 and the Doing A Fine Job Every day there are news stories and columns about Communism, most of them pointing in the direction of whether they or us are moving ahead faster. Most of this news deals almost exclusively with the two governments per se. The Soviets have their programs and we have ours, such as foreign aid. At present, of course, the Berlin issue is in the forefront. But too long overlooked has been the work being done all through the world by our private corporations representing American free enterprise which also are keeping the fires of the West burning. It is academic that Communist rulers are sold on the idea that the total state can best organize social and material programs. Fired with dedication, they are aggressively and successfully selling Communism in vast areas of the world where corruption and poverty drive peoples to desperation. The threat of military force encourages the uncommitted to listen, and discourages others from interfering. Some time ago an editorial in Life magazine expressed the opinion that, The climax of the struggle with the Communists will come soon. It has begun, and it is possible that in the present decade we shall either have negotiated our own surrender or Communism will have become disrupted, discredited, and disintegrating force. The time has come then for the United States to take its stand unambiguously and implacably." Military force may never be used, barring miscalculations. The U.S. has to fill the role of senior salesman for the West, offering ideas and practical action g attack on the problems peoples in a direct , hard-hittin- face. And American enterprise, in the normal course of commercial development, has brought many tangible advances to many of the worlds underdeveloped aceas. A recent issue of U.S. News & World Report reviewr achievements of private enterprise abroad. It tells the story of nine companies, whose operations span South America, Africa and Asia. It says: Working largely through local people, these companies have expanded from small beginnings into giant enterprises in their adopted areas. In the process they raised local living standards, helped combat disease and illiteracy and created reservoirs of trained people. In short, they have done and are still doing many of the things that the new Peace Corps hopes to do. Altogether, more than 3,000 U.S. firms now operate abroad. They have added more than 2 billion dollars worth of capital equipment to the basic wealth of their host countries. They add up to a Peace Corps that often has been more effective than U.S. Government aid, and far more impressive than any Russian aid. American companies overseas taking U.S. know-howith them, presently employ more than 2 million w following day Mr. Doidge will present the list of nominations to the board. On October 27 the Chamber secretary will mail the nominations to the organization's membership and include ballots which are to be marked and returned by November B. On November 8,' a special meeting is scheduled and Sugar House service clubs have been invited to join with Chamber members. At that time results of the election will be announced. The speaker on this occasion will be Ezra Taft Benson, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, and a member of the Quorum of the 12 of the Church of Jesus Saints. Christ of Latter-daAlso at the Tuesday meeting the board decided to hold the annual Christmas party December 13 at the Salt Lake Country Club. Mr. Brain and Mr. Sorensen were named as a committee to make the arrangements. , y people of whom fewer than 20,000 are from the United States. . - - In concluding, U.S. News has that to match this private nothing observes Russia of business Peace Corps firms, as they bring new wealth and social progress to remote areas. Every American and our own government should be proud of the strength and accomplishments of our private enterprise system says the Industrial News Review. The American people must understand that government can offer no individual security which they do not first pay for themselves. It can offer no safety from the drive of world Communism unless it is backed by a majority of the American people who take pride in their political heritage and have confidence in the free economic institutions which built this country and give us our strength. America needs no apology and does not need to become a welfare state. But she does need a spiritual force to match the Communist challenge a new confidence and deter- mination to sell the greatest gift she has; economic, social and political progress based on individual freedom and 1961 Broivsing Through the News (Continued from Page I) that would per- tive-proposal- s tariff resimilar for return ductions, in mit across-the-boar- d concessions by Common Market countries that account for half of the U.S. exports to Western Europe, says Newsweek.

It observes that taxes are the price we pay for civilization. This, of course, is a truism. Taxes, as one writer puts it, are good and necessary for civilization, in the same way that fire and water are good. But you dont have to burn 'down your house to warm and you dont have to open a dam and droyrn in the flood to get a drink. The Taxes Are. Good argument is used as p sup port for an almost endless list of government projects and proposals which advance the welfare state, reduce or destroy. ; local rights and responsibilities, limit the freedom of groups, and individuals, and dry up the normal sources of taxation foe example, housing , subsidies, farming.' subsidies, public power schemes, federal aid to schools, federal medical aid plans, and so on. So the Taxes Are Good theme needs to be carefully analyzed. They are good when levied for necessary purposes. They are bad when levied for purposes which should be undertaken, if they are to be undertaken at all, by local govyour-hand- . ernment or private enter- prise. UPHOLSTERING INC.
