“Back in 1620 we griped about the cold winters — and built New. England. We griped about the hot summers—and built the South.
~ Wegriped about the forests—and turned them * * * into wagons and ‘bridges and homes. We griped about Indian maize—and invented corn bread and bourbon. We griped about the stagecoach — and put the steam engine together. We griped about sailing around thé Horn—and ‘dug the . Panama Canal. We griped about yellow fever — ad found : a cure for it. i

We're still griping.
Dithemy, thenivy, Heir lorie wogipe. The Germans call us the “I want to go home” soldiers. They're right. We do want to go home— home to the best country on earth. That's why we fight so hard. Fight and gripe. Take Rome and Cherbourg and Saipan. Apd gripe.

Back home we gripe, too. Labor gripes because * it wants more money. Investors gripe ‘because they want more generous dividends. Consumers gripe because they want more for their money. Management gripes because it’s caught in the ‘middle andfinds it harder and harder to make

goods at lower prices. This enables the consumer to buy more. And that results in more jobs, higher wages and fair profits.
That's the American way—born of griping. Griping and a willingness to cooperate.
Right now we have the greatest productive capacity in all history. Much of it was built for war —and will hive to be rebuilt for peace.
In rebuilding it, however, we must take steps to make sure we will be able to buy all the many things that our factories and farms can produce.
And that can be dome. Not through government handouts—which result only in more and more debt. But by using our productive capacity to provide us with more for our money in the things we buy, so that we can buy more—and thus create more jobs and more earnings for all. This is the ‘process of prosperity.” Indeed, by making full use of this country’s limitless energy and ambition, we can help lead the world ~ into an era of peace and plenty greater than any yet seen.
Two things are necessary to realize this opportunity. One is a liberal, forward-thinking policy onthe part of business. The other is public cooperation.
