IT PAYS TO FIGHT By GEORGE S. BENSON , President ot Harding College Searcy. Arkansas

EVERYBODY LOVES • fighter. For that reason, the popularity of Harry S. Truman is running pretty high at this time. All the pollsters, all the misled, have had their say: President Truman was the man who wouldn’t be licked! Mr. Truman was apparently the only candidate who really took the opinion polls to heart. While the general public was being lulled to sleep by everybody’s opinion as to the outcome of the election. Candidate Truman got in there and fought. -Preferences for candidates in the voting on November 2 were not the same as reported by the poll takers before election. What happened ? My guess is this:' a larger percentage of those who favored a fighting man went out to vote than was the case with those favoring the non-fighter, who thought he would be elected anyhow. In other words, the opinion polls were interpreted by each candidate by Mr. Truman in a way that helped elect Mr Truman and by Mr. Dewey in a way that defeated Mr. Dewey. Fight THE IMPORTANT thing or Die is that the fighting man ? won. This is an eld American principle. The man who works the hardest, who never-says-die, is favored » the struggle for success. Our nation has been built by heroes, sung and unsung, who lived by that rule. May I submit that in these critical times, it will not be peosible for America to keep her traditional place as the most faverod of lands, unless Americans are willing to take up the fight. Why has America more national income than any tUnr sis nations you can name? Why do

more American youth have a chance to go to high school and college than go in all the rest of the world put together? Why do American workers have the highest wages in all the world? Here are some of the reasons: we have the right to own property, to operate our own businesses and compete with each other, to invest capital in industrial tools. Stakes MOREOVER. Are High we Americans can < work at the job we like, wherever we like, with equal justice for all. If we keep these liberties, preserve constitutional government, and maintain freedom of individual opportunity, it will be possible for us to double our wages and standards of living, as we did during the last generation. If we turn to government management and thus kill our incentives, we can expect wages and living standards to go down 50 per cent below the present level. ' I Step by stop America is being pushed in that direction. A few more steps, and we may find ourselves under such pressure that ‘ we cannot avoid socialism, and the communism that follows it.
