Whether the traveler walks, drives or flys, he will find, at the end of a day, even if he comes upon an unknown tribe in the heart of the jungle,. that his arrival is anticipated. He has not heard the tomtoms thudding. He has not caught a flicker of signal fire. But he can be sure that long before he arrives at his destination, the natives are perfectly familiar with his name, his habits and his mission. The news of the death of Queen Victoria and of King Edward VII and of George V was known in the heart of Africa before it reach-line- s in white men at the end of cable large cities. We have heard a lot of talk about television in the past few years, but he witch doctors and doctresses of Africa have known it, or something incredibly like it, for hundreds of years. Science is gradually, almost reluctantly, Dr. Carrel intimates, coming to the conclusion that there are latentt, powers awaiting the applications of simple natural lawlaws which the white man, in his furious scramble between the cradle and the grave, has forgotten, but which are still instinctive among older, more primitive peoples nestling close to the great heart of nature. We are, indeed, the sum of all our yesterdays, as the fearful plight of Europe proves today. Millions would not be facing each other at. this moment, guns in hand, were it not for art age-olheritage of hatreds, of feudal and dynastic rivalries, infinitely antagonistic cultures, a legacy of tarnished glories, moonshine, poetry, tattered romance, warring philosophies, and forever renewed faiths, heresies and conformities. Cervantes debunked it all in Don Quixote, but it is forever the same. When Voltaire remarked, "The more things change the more they remain the same," he might have adds ed that it is easy to bamboozle and the devil's own job to debamboozle him. Only the other day Henry Mencken had the same thought when he remarked that "the great infirmity of mankind is its; colossal capacity for believing the palpably untrue." For that reason (and especially in times like these, of fear and apprehension) propaganda thrives, bemuses, confuses and bedazzles.. The main trouble with the pastas we are finding out once moreis that it cannot Man continues in this some- be jettisoned. what dubious age of reason to live by the fearfully expensive method of trial and error.

' The emphasis given to "every sound means to gain expansion in volume, resulting in the creationi of new employment and bringing more capital into use," is significant , of the whole trend of the platform, which outlines an economic philosophy that is neither,rightist nor leftist, but simply the articulation' of the American method of doing business since the foundation of the republic. Detailed formulas are less important than general principles of intelligent conduct and hence the platformspeaks frankly in favor of the right of any employe "to join any labor organization he wishes, or none at all, as he may deem best in his own interests." But, the platform adds, the "action taken in this regard should be arrived at as a matter of his own free will and volition, without coercion, duress or intimidation from any sources." ''The functions of industry," says the platform, "cannot be performed under conditions of litigation and conflict." Here is the whole essence of American principle as it relates to labor relations. The Congress of - Industry has thus uttered a profound truth in a tone of restraint and objectivity. The platform is the type of document which might well have come from the hands of enlightened business men in Britain, where forward-lookindoctrines have in re, cent years come to be a part of business philosophy. More than three months' work was put on the framing of the text of the platform by the leaders of American enterprise, and as such it will take rank as one of the notable pronouncements of the year 1939, and will long be referred to as a basic study of a decent American business system.

It has been the habit of the N. A. M. in 'recent years to issue declarations of condemnation and polemical discussion, but this year- the platform promulgated is a persua-- ' sive- document of economic reasoning which seeks to present the facts about the ways in which regulatory action on the part of gov- ernment can impede Industrial progress, and ways and means by which the workers of America can enjoy better Incomes and true soda' security. Rejecting. emphatically the idea of totalitarianism in governraent or In industry or in labor. or In finance, the Congress of Ainri-caIndustry places Itself on arnecdortdhraosufgahvoourtIng throughout government the whole economic system the principle of democracy and fair play to all. "The American citizen," says the platform, "wants an opportunity to earn the necessities of life and the comforts and luxtiries that go to make life richernot only material necessities, but also the opportunity to enjoy Cultural and spiritual satisfactions. Be wants to feel securein his liberties and for his person, in his job and for his old age,- in himself and for his family." How to achieve these objectives under a system of free enterprise becomes the main theme of the platform, which, among other things, calls on America's business men and industrial managers to play an enlightened part in the strengthening of America's social and economic order. Being opposed to any system of govern- or any system of monopoment , the industrialist platform ly points out that "each btAiness enterprise, in for the consumer's dollar, must determine its own prices," and that the ''range of discretionary action is limited severely by factors of cost, including many costs such as taxes which are beyond management's control, and by the competition not only of like products but of other prodprice-fixin- Saint Nicholas , . price-fixing- , Victory For Free Speech - The Human , , - 1 . .
