Labor Day 1956
Labor Day is a typically American holiday. The last
long summer weekend, culminating in the speeches and celebrations of the day itself, bears little resemblence to the
so-called Labor days of the Old World.
Is is NOT a day of protest against conditions as they
are. It is .NOT, a "class" day, drawing distinctions between
a downtrodden lower class and a thin uppercrust of leisured
and privileged individuals.
It IS, instead, a day when the nation as a whole does
honor to those who labor — whether it be with hands or
head. And Labor in these United States includes virtually
every one of us.
The elder nations owned their origins to grouping of
Various peoples of the same stock or tongue for protective
purposes, or to wars of conquest, wihere a dominant group
seized power and assimilated or overlorded minority factions.
Not so in America. This country was founded on' the
theory that a nation could be welded out of peoples from
all sorts of backgrounds provided they were willing and ready
to work together for the good of all.
In short, this nation was founded on hard work. It took
labor of all kinds to carve a nation out of virgin wilderness,
to make roads through .reckless forests, to cross mighty
rivers, to find passes through the snow-crowned mountains
and to settle a continent. It was labor that cleared lands
and built townships, clustering around those forerunners of
civilized life, the church and the schoolhouse.
Our American aristocracy has always been made up of
those whose work- was-good,-and who, by.-their ..labor-, of
body and mind, made life better for others. Our scorn has
always been for thei idler, for the man who took advantage
of what others had done without contributing his share
to the common welfare. The men and women whom we
have chosen to honor have been those — no matter from
what group they came, who have worked hard and done
the most for the common good.
For this reason Labor Day is not set apart for any
one group, but a day which all of us celebrate. We have
learned that only those things which are earned are enduring, that there is a task for each of us to carry out.
With this in mind, let us on this Labor Day rededicate
ourselves to work to the best of our abilities, so laboring
that we may pass on to the next generation a nation better
and stronger for our having lived and toiled therein.
Block Voting Appeals
In recent years it has become the fashion for both
major political parties and for all of the small party organizations which go through the motions of naming Presidential candidates as well to direct their Platform Resolutions towards segments of our population, in a direct appeal
for "bloc" voting. This is understandable, but there is reason to* believe that the trend has run its course and may
have started to yield diminishing returns.
To a considerable extent, voters have come to regard
the record made by the Parties in Congress and' in the
White House as clearer "guides to the philosophy of their
respective organizations than the platforms themselves. We
are being judged these days more largely by our performance than by the printed word.
Republicans have prided themselves for generations
upon their-primary appeal to the "national" as opposed to
"sectional" interests. The Democrats, because of their basic
dependence upon the not-so-solid South have constantly
played off thq Conservatism of the! South against the Liberalism and occasional Radicalism of the North. In 1956,
a National appeal to all Americans will have tremendous
attraction for most citizens.
Can We Cut Big Government
Sooner or later, the expanding processes of our National
government are going to require a pruning operation of painful dimensions. Irrespective of merit, the size >of Government
installations is provoking demands for slashing reductions.
A recent inventory lists 19,321 government operated
functions with a capital asset value of some 3 Billion dollars
and more than 260,000 civilian employes engaged in manufacturing enterprises of one kind or another. Four hundred
and fifty other government-owned, but contractor-operated
activities had capital assets of 9 Billions.
Uncle Sam is engaged in such diverse occupations as
the insurance business, real estate business, finance, r&tail
trade, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, wholesaling,
prihting/andmanufacturing, as'well as tKere^lar'functibns
performed by the Post Office. Qur .Defense _Pep.artrQen.tjis
