It we ar? so bah! pressed for funds, why don't we consider the other Nordberg bid which to Hl.3<» below the big Nordberg engine?. Tills engine meets our specifications enftrefy. to more conservatively rated and slower speed than the Lima Hamilton engine. “Rdgardleas of this argument. I believe everyone recognises that the big Nordberg engine to the best for Decatur and I hope we can agree on It. Many of our neighbors In’ Indiana have used Nordberg Diesels for as much as 30 years.

— MHMBBaaMVM■MMßH■■■■■■■■*>■■*■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■* CAPITALISM Nothing is superior except by comparison

WHEN we compare the conditions of nations and people in anti-capitalistic countries with the security, prosperity, happiness and well-being of our people under United States capitalism, we appreciate our privilege of living in a capitalistic, democratic country. -----—- The basic principle of thefree, capitalistic system which we have developed in our country affords opportunity to the individual who is willing to use his talents to the extent of his ability and desire ta.produce— to accumulate something for investment in a home, a farm, in savings accounts, bonds and other securities, life insurance, the education of his children, and comforts of life—and become a capitalist. The following facts give us a deep appreciation of what capitalism has done and is doing for our country and its people. Private capital in the form of taxes and purchases of United States ment Bonds made it possible for us to spend three hundred thirty billion dollars in earn ing out our part of the program in w inning World War 11. This, of course, is unimportant when we consider the loss of life and permanent and partial disability w hich our youth sustained and which cannot be measured in -t——. dollars. - Our participation in World War II has left us today with a national debt of two hundred fifty-seven billion dollars, but on the credit side we find that our annual national income, at she current rate, is equal to 90' < of our total national debt. Os this total national debt, thirty-nine billion dollars"are ill treasury obligations owned by Government agencies, so our net debt is slightly over two hundred eighteen billion dollars. — ; . The United States free enterprise business system is operating at its highest level, furnishing employment to sixty-two million people at the highest hourly and weekly earnings ever recorded. Stockholders and corporations, after paying the highest peacetime taxes in the post-war years, have had the highest net average earnings in history from their investment. Our farmers had cash income from marketing last year amounting to twenty-seven billion five hundred million dollars, the highest on record. Total farm assets of our country amount to slightly more than one hundred twenty-seven billion dollars, against which there is an indebtedness of only ( t« elve billion four hundred million dollars. Thus our farmers have ow nership equity of over 90 per cent in their farms. 1 i In non-farm homes, counting apartment buildings with four or less families. and all valued at a total of two hundred billion dollars, our home owners have an equity of one hundred fifty-eight billion dollars—a substantial ow nership of 79 per cent. Therefore, as a result of the opportunity provided by our free-enterprise capitalistic system, the people of our nation have a free and clear ow nership in their homes anti farms of H 3.4 per cent. Our people have savings of more than one hundred thirty-six billion dollars in government bonds and savings accounts. An additional ninety-seven billion dollars are on deposit in commercial bank accounts. Our men and women have a cash investment of sutty billion dollars in • v life insurance policies, ■

A high percentage of our working people are provided with unemploy* ment insurance, sickness, accident and retirement benefits, financed by employ- e ers, employees and government. Others who are not covered by these plans and who find themselves in need are provided for by governmental and social institutions. We are increasing our efforts to improve the standard of living of the people in the lower income brackets. The Upited States, with only six per cent of the world population and seven per cent of its land area, under its democratic, capitalistic system, before World War 11, produced forty-seven per cent of the world's manufactured goods, but what is more important, ninety per cent of that production was consumed within our own borders. Today we are producing over fifty per cent of the world's manufactured goods, of which a substantial percentage is for other countries. • V Capitalism is backing freedom of worship and providing increasing educational opportunities by constantly giving more and more support to the two things upon which our democratic, cultural civilization depends—spiritual and educational values. Vic have a permanent investment in churches and schools of eighteen bib *"* * < 4 lion five hundred million dollars and are spending annually eight billion dollars for religious and educational purposes. Membership in the churches is increasing at a much faster rate than the _ increase in the population, and in our Sunday Schools at an greater rate. In the past thirty years, elementary school enrollment has increased 13.5 per cent, high school enrollment 146.1 per cent and college and university enrollment 351.6 per cent. ........... Our public school expenditures per pupil enrolled have gone up from ; $48.02 in 1920 to $132.06 in 1947, dr 175.0 per cent. Since 1920 the population of our country has increased 43 per cent and the investment in school and college equipment has increased 571 per cent. Since the beginning of our industrial and scientific development in the early 1800’s, the capitalistic, system, due to individual freedom, initiative and ingenuity, has given the world more of the comforts and conveniences of life than mankind had received in the previous 5000 years of civilization. Under this system our people as a whole are happy and united, arc increasing their capital and enjoying a fuller spiritual, cultural and material life. Today our scientific and industrial knowledge and experience in the various fields of peaceful activity are open to the rest of the world, and in this respect we have joined with like-minded nations in contributing to the technical assistance program of the United Nations. . No nation, no individual, no venture, no private or public institution, no -- * - • . program for the welfare of people can progress without capital. It is each individual's duty to contribute to the preservation, protection and improvement of our democratic civilization on a basis which is sound and fair to all our people. ' , f • ■ ' * - V’
