Show January 1972 Looking Ahead Dr. George S. Benson President EDUCATION NATIONAL PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas k i THE TRUTH ABOUT FREE ENTERPRISE have simply failed to teach the essential facts in American history and the facts about our economic and political systems. As a college professor for 29 years, I was shocked to see so many youngsters coming out of high schools all across America who did not understand the private enterprise system, who simply hadnt been taught. Uninformed as they were, they were prime subjects, in many colleges, for the propaganda against the system. The System Defined recent Herbert Aptheker, visiting professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, has repeatedly predicted the of Americas private enterprise system. He himself is working to kill it. The surprise in thir. is that Professor Aptheker has been teaching the American young at Bryn Mawr, a college built with the wealth produced by our free enterprise system and operated with money from the same source. Herbert Aptheker is a Communist. Hes more: he is the widely advertised theoretician of the Communist Party USA, and recognized in se-- . curity and intelligence quarters as perhaps the brains of U. S. Communism. How foolish can Americans get paying Communists to indoctrinate the minds of American youth with Communist falsehoods against our system! No wonder a substantial percentage of our 8,000,000 college students attack the basic principles of private enterprise and an alarming number are dedicated to the overthrow, or are aiding in the gradual death, of the system. Herbert Aptheker and his comrades within the Communist Party,- - and the nationwide revolutionary youth movement they have spawned, constitute the clearly visible enemies of free enterprise. What is free enterprise? It is the economic system through which we in America make our living. There are three economic systems. 1. A system like the Communists have installed in Russia, where the Government owns the tools of production and distribution. 2. A system like we have in America, with private individuals owning the tools of production and distribution. 3. A combination of these two, such as the Socialists in- - Utah Farm Bureau News stalled in England with most of the basic industries and institutions owned by the Government, but with much of the retail business operated by private citizens under strict Government control. America offers the worlds best example'" of a private enterprise economy. We started as an agricultural country, with 90 of our people on the land and earning a living by farming. Farming rapidly improved in America for these reasons: Farmers owned their land and wanted to improve it; the livestock and grain they produced was their own; they wanted to improve the varieties and the total production; they had to do the work or pay for having it done, so they wanted to improve their tools as much as possible thus making the individualll labor more productive. Progress Unlimited Farmers have succeeded until today only 5 of our people live on farms, and yet toe nation .is toe best fed in its history and we sell and give away great quantities of our farm produce. As people left the farms they went into various kinds of businesses. These businesses grew for the following reasons. They were privately owned and naturally the owners wanted their businesses to prosper, and they worked hard; they were competitive, Page 7 consequently the businessman was under constant pressure to his comtry to petition; this forced toe development by the businessmen of tools, machine tools, automatic tools, automated tools; the entire nation, and in fact toe world, was toe market place; so toe businessmans opportunities were virtually out-produ- ce from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS England formally recognized the Independence of the UJL January 14, 1783.

Facts Not Given Millions of other people, who lack knowledge about the American and about system are aiddefault: Commies the ing by Socialism-Communis- m they do not support the system when it is attacked. Millions of adults, as well as youth, cannot define free enterprise; and only a comparatively few know how it works and why all other ecoit nomic systems. Ive been an educator for 45 years.
