The formal occasion is the 150th anniversary of the founding of the United States Patent System. The reason for the praises being sung is evident—if it hadn't been for our inventors, and the encouragement provided them by our patent ‘system, America would not have today its high living standards, the envy of the whole world. Industry was the first group in this country to honor the inventor, through a series of ‘Modern Pioneers Celebrations” held throughout the land during the month of February. This month, the government got in step with an “Inventors and Patent” day, and it showed sound judgment in calling on Dr. Charles F. Kettering, President of General Motors Corporation and a brilliant inventor in his own right, to head the special committee arranging the dinner, at which past progress and the brilliant promise of America’s industrial future were both strongly emphasized. Recognition on the part of government of the importance of these matters is a welcome sign at this time. Unfortunately, it must also be added that it does not follow the trend of most political thinking these days. On, the one hand, we see Washington celebrating the contributions of the inventor and research worker. On the other, we see the politician making bitter attacks on inventions, industry, and the machine. It’s like down in the dust then picking him up. brushing off his coat. and telling him that he’s the best friend you have in the world. Isn't it about time that government considered letting its right hand know what its left hand is doing, in the interests of the . 30,000,000 Americans who deserve and want to see continued industrial progress in this country? The Press Votes “Aye” . . Announcement is made by H. W. Prentis, Jr., President of the National Association of Manufacturers, that American industry is launching a nation-wide program of “‘Mobilization for the Understanding of Private Enterprise.’’ Patriotic businessmen the country over, Mr. Prentis said. were being called upon to emphasize the importance of private enterprise to the welfare of America, and to spread understanding of the fundamentals of our American heritage. : The response of the nation’s press has been instantaneous, and has shown that the editors of the country have a clean-cut conviction concerning the inseparable connection between those two basic institutions-of a-liberty-loving—land;* private enterprise and a free press. Here are some typical comments: ‘An early campaign of this sort not only will be highly justifiable, it will be wise. and now is the time to start it,” declares one Midwestern editor, adding that the country is “‘in a moed-for-facts.Furthermore,-the-country-is-in-a’ position to act on the basis of facts, and to do so decisively.” A Southern editor ‘‘heartily agrees.” ‘Millions of Americans agree with Mr. Prentis as to private enterprise,” he asserts. “There is no little ground for the belief that the time is ripe,” .a New York paper says. “People generally are surely beginning to suspect that the only way in which national income can be securely built is by way of private enterprise, and that in this operation government enterprise is no substitute.” New England adds its voice to the chorus — “another line of ‘battle is drawn—a rallying cry—an endeavor to bring the country back to fundamentals,” editors there declare. — As the opinion of the nation’s editors continues to accumulate, it becomes increasingly apparent that this program “of and by industry, but for America” is a popular expression of the desire of people in all parts of this country to find the way back to the sound and tested paths of' progress that have made this the best land in the world in which to live and breathe! ° You Cannot-knocking: a man! ~UIYAND.

In other words, consumers through lower prices on the things they buy have 6 billion dollars more a year to spend. Furthermore, the quality of the things they buy has improved tremendously. Think of 1923 automobiles, for example. In 1937, automobile buyers not only got 23 per cent more in quantity, but they also got infinitely better quality. People who bought cotton textiles got 50 per cent more. The hourly earnings of workmen in dollars rose substantially. But one good they could buy with their doilars increased even more— ‘so that the worker could buy 29 per cent more for his money.

He called it ‘the “Olson-Roosevelt coattail slate’, and added that the delegates pledged to vice president John (Garner was not Democratic and should ‘‘be over in the Republican party.’’ The logic of Patterson’s moves is not always apparent, although the latest opposition to the mresdident may have something to do with his campaign for United States Senator.

Stripped to its essence, the themesong in effect is that machines are bad because they do work that used to be done by people. The argument is that machines which have developed since 1929 are doing the work which once was performed by a million and a half or two million people. Therefore, it is argued, we had better curb the ma'chine to keep people working. Basic facts, however, are obscured. It isn’t pointed out clearly, for instance, that if a new knitting machine replaces two workers and turns out ten times as much as they used to produce, it takes more workers to make the machines and keep: them in repair, more railroad employees . to transport the finished goods, more farmers to produce cotton for the} yarn, more retail store employees to sell it, and so on and on. -x-Fhat-—the-objections—to-.machines come from minority groups is evidenced by the fact that Washington has just witnessed a celebration of the anniversary of the ‘first Patents Law, which stimulated development of machines.
