Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, December 14, 1967 the 71 By Thurman Sensing Executive Vice President Southern States Industrial Council THE 1ESSON OF BRITAIN The International financial shock waves caused by the devaluation of the British pound are continuing to be felt around the world. The socialist government of Great Britain, by its Irresponsible manage ment of the affairs of the British people, has struck a severe blow nt all the capitalist nations This is the second time that a Labor government in Britain has devalued the pound. The Daily Telegraph in London rightly has described devaluation as an act that "involves the abandonment of those who have entrusted this country with the keeping of their money." Work and sacrifice mean nothing if a government destroys the value of a nation's money. By a single financial maneuver, the socialists in power in Britain have wiped out 14.3 per cent of the worth of all securities and savings held by the British. This devaluation has been long in coming. It is the fruit of the mindless welfare state that doesn't undersand anything about the management of money or how wealth is created. In his blustering bluster-ing speech about devaluation, Prime Minister Harold Wilson of Britain talked about the evil of "self-seeking" people. Yet "self-seeking" "self-seeking" is just what Britain needs and what the socialists won't permit. per-mit. The profit system is self- seek ing, and it is what leads to wealth for a nation. Mr Wlson, like socialists in Amer lea, is bent on taking away the personal incentives that lead to the creation of wealth for an entire en-tire country. Indeed the socialist government is riddled with hatred for free enterprise. Only days before be-fore devaluation was sprung on the British people, Miss Barbara Castle, the Minister of Transport, proposed heavy new taxes on the privately-owned trucking industry. The revenue from these taxes Is to go to help support the state-owned railways that continually lose money. This, In a nutshell, is why Britain is in trouble. In reviewing the tragic situation in which Britons find themselves under Wilsonian socialism, Americans Ameri-cans should not Imagine that Bri-ain Bri-ain is the only free-world nation in financial trouble. Britain is simply an especially horrid example exam-ple of the evils of socialism. The United States, unfortunately, is not far behind. The Johnson Great Society engages en-gages in the same general type of activity that has caused Britain to devalue the pound sterling. Incentives Incen-tives to investment have been reduced re-duced as a result of ever-mounting federal taxation of personal and corporate income. Big Labor has been encouraged by the political powers-that-be in Washington to ride high in the saddle. The emphasis em-phasis in handouts Instead of self-reliance self-reliance Is as characteristic of Washington as it Is of London. Like Prime Minister Wilson, President Pres-ident Lyndon B. Johnson has de clined to tell the American people the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning the national financial condition. More and more money has to go each year into servicing the U.S. national debt. The setback suffered by the British is clear proof that over-spending on welfare and giveaways give-aways like foreign aid have very real and grim results for the people The government that conceals this truth from the people is committing committ-ing a breach of trust. The U. S. is like Britain in that it always is borrowing instead of following the pay-as-you-go principle prin-ciple enunciated by the late Sen. Harry F. Byrd, America's great fiscal statesman. Borrowing, however, how-ever, doesn't solve any nation's pro blemsBritain or the USA; it simply sim-ply delays a little bit the dreadful day of reckoning. When the time come that a country can't borrow any more, or when borrowing can be aceompolished only on disadvantageous disad-vantageous terms, the result Is a drop in the standard of living. It will bo meaningless if Americans Ameri-cans simply express shock at Mr. Wilson's devaluation of the pound and fail to draw a lesson from the British tragedy the lesson that the same medicine must be applied to American as Britain needs. For both countries, the essential requirement is a cutback in all public spending in non-productive arcs such as welfare. The em phasis of both governments must be on the fostering of production and sales, not on giveaways to politically demanding minorities, in eluding organized reliefers. The heads of governments who get their people deep into debt are betraying the people. They are allowing al-lowing their nations to decline. One day the fall will come, if the spending is not arrested. This is the truth that needs telling tell-ing as the British mess gets attention at-tention in the press. UP&L to Light 70,000 Lamps in 140 Cities, Towns Free electricity to light some 70,000 lamps that's Utah Power and Light Company's gift to more than 140 cities and towns in Utah, Idaho an Wyoming. Clair J. Hadley, UP&L Telluride division manager, said free electricity elec-tricity will agin be available for holiday lighting decorations install ed on city streets and parks in communities where the firm's dis tribution lines run. also will run necessary service wires to connect installed lights to the utility's lines. sFree Christmas lighting to these communities where customers are served directly by the company, is a long-standing custom with UP&L. Last year the utility provided more than 400,000 kilowatt hours of free electricity to illuminate almost 70,000 holiday bulbs in 146 cities and towns Of these, some 6.000 bulbs were lighted in 25 communities in south central Utah. Explorers, Leaders Enjoy Evening A very entertaining and educational educa-tional evening was enjoyed by 165 I explorers and their leaders, in the Deseret Stake House Tuesday evening, eve-ning, Dec. 12, 1967. A film put on by the Federal Aviation Agency called "Density Altitude", was first presented. This I film dealt with the problems en countered by pilots flying in mountainous country at high altitudes al-titudes during high temperatures. As well as being very informative the film showed some of the spectacular spec-tacular scenery of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California that can be enjoyed by only those fortunate enough to be fiying over this area. Most of the audience spent the time setting on the edge of their seats, as the story unfolded for this pilot who was an accident waiting for a place to happen, which never did occur due more to luck than good management. Following the film Mr. Leo Bur-raston Bur-raston airport manager talked to the group with further comments on the film. He then explained to them some of the anticipated growth and future possibilities for young men in the aviation industry. indus-try. He said that he wished lie was just thirty years younger so that he could take advantage of the opportunities op-portunities that are before us in the next few years. At the present time there are between ninety and one hundred thousand registered aircraft in the United States. Projected estimates put out by the Federal Aviation Agency, forecast for two hundred forty thousand aircraft to be built in the next ten years. The group is looking forward to another evening of entertainment to be presented by Tom Rynearson on highway safety on the 23 of January. Pace Motor Go. Xmas Used Car Specials 1967-Chevrolet 4-dr.
