S. BENSON -- Mirilmf ColUjt Searcy, jtkaiisat A Public Relations Job America's biggest public relations assignment, perhaps the most significant of this kind In the history of the world, Is gaining momentum. It's oft to a good start. You What to may call it industrial statesmanship, if you want to, or you may call it selling the American way of life. What t effort on it amounts to is an the part of each one of us to demonstrate the faith we have In our economic system. So doing, we shall weather any present or future crisis. There must be no when we assert that never has any other system given a people so much; nor has any other system a brighter future. We Americans are not generally an emotional people. We can read history without weeping. Europeans think of us as more "practical" and less idealistic. At any rate, we have been so busy that we have largely overlooked our selling job, until time is later than we thought. Selling Ourselves An industrialist recently indulged In a bit of analysis: "The simple fact that our American-styl- e processes of finance, production, distribution and selling actually produce more for more people than does any other set of processes ever devised by man, has never been planted deeply in the minds of our people at least not to the extent that it becomes an ever present and active part of the public consciousness." I am afraid this Is too true. If we had actually sold ourselves on America through the years, we would never have seen the phenomenon of certain of our public figures with the Commuplaying peek-a-bonists. There would be gsnuine of the accomplishappreciation ments and potentialities of America in every university chair in he land. Campaign of Truth Against so many rampant, fanatical destroyers, a clean and constant campaign of truth, well organized and supported, can be effective. Against the doubters and the cynics, this great public relations program must ba tied-l- n with all-oeffort to produce goods for the American people, through an economy of abundance. Without good works, your theory falls flat. Only first understand the system. If you please, then it's easier to make it work. Too many sinehow have decided that business, in this "capitalistic" country, is altogether bad. These folks have not considered, however, how many cherished things they would have to give up if they got rid of "capitalism." Without private initiative in business and industry, in labor, and in professional life, we would sink to the level of some of our critics. We take a lot of things for granted. Yet we have a job to do. If we are businessmen, let us not only sell the product we make, but let us sell the product as a symbol of the freedom under which it is made. If we are workmen, let us consider our jobs as of the freedom under which we live. And no matter what we are, let us know that this sweet land of liberty offers Us a freedom of opportunity as individuals that we can find nowhere else od this planet. all-ou- tongue-in-chee- k o r t '' Do About It ' lis' Local Happenings Mr. and Mrs. Fred C.

That's the formula that will enable us to weather a business recession, provided we begin to use it now. We must all tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go to work just as hard as we can work. A greatly increased measure is the of productivity per man-hou- r best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. Down With Prices With increased productivity, with an honest hour's labor given for every hour's pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices. Indeed, with genuine whole-hearte- d cooperation from labor and industry, it would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40 generally. This should be enough to bring about a general 25 reduction in prices. This could be done with our present labor force and without increased working hours. This would in fact bring prices down until it would be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is the one sound answer to the present threat of a depression. Such answer would also give us hope of regaining our foreign markets, which have had little attention paid to them since the war. Wisdom of a Sage The importance of this ' thing prompted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that the whole postwar world would "get going only if men work" and to come out for a 5 day, 44 hour week. The seriousness of the problem we fats is such that we may be able to save civilization if we accept the challenge, Mr. Baruch said, adding that this would mean greater effort than that exerted during the war. In proposing a 44 hour work week, "with no strikes or layoffs to January ,1, 1949," as a means of increasing production, Mr. Baruch recognized our present tendencies to put limitations on our work. He emphasized that a way must be found for production to flow smoothly. This achieved, then a "sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and lasting." Heads Together The sage Mr, Baruch has more. "Until we have unity, until we straighten out and solve our problems of production, and have internal stability, there is no basis on which the world can renew itself physically or spiritually," he continued. If labor and ndustry would put their heads together, come to a realistic solution of their problems, shake hands across the table and go to work in earnest to whip this ' threat of immediate depression through maximum and whole-hearteproduction, then no one would have anything to fear.

"BUY FOR CASH AND PAY LESS" Utah had but recently passed its mark, when James Cash Penney opened his first Utah store, in Bingham Canyon. The people of Utah welcomed it; they liked its simple, neighborly way of doing business, its policy of fair dealing.1 Bingham Canyon was soon followed by other Utah stores' Eureka, Midvale, Murray, Price, Provo, Bountiful, Mount Pleasant and Spanish Fork. The Company's first Central Headquarters was in Salt Lake City. Utah was, in truth, the cradle of the Penney Company. Utah's importance in the history of this Company is well illustrated by the Eureka store. This store was established in 1909, with Earl Cordcr Sams as manager, in partnership with J. C. Penney. In 1917, Mr. Sams became president of the Company. After serving in that capacity for 29 years, Mr. Sams last year became Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the presidency was again filled by a former Eureka,' Utah, manager, A.
