Ollirr Issiips ON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC

ISSUES

1 ‘‘Christianity In.I,Is tlrnt per sonality is the supreme value; it tests all institutions and practices by their effect upon personality It condemns all practices that are destructive of personality and comnends those practices tliat enrich personality That .lesus died for tlie redemption of man is sufficient warrant for Christians to labor for his emancipation from every personalty destroying influence just as we through Christ would seek to save him from sin Because of its very insistence upon the sacredness of personality, Christianity lias been a

social force.”

The report directs attention to the following facts and declares, “The Christian conscience declares that the continuance of these conditions is sinful in the sight of God, and the Christian church summons its membership to the task of saving us from our sins. The kingdom of God cannot be built upon foundations of economic injustice ” '1 “Privation in the midst of jhj-

trntial plenty;

Gross inequality in income and

property.

Insecurity: Unemployment, with its resultant effect upon national morale; Long-continued public relief, slowly destroying the self-respect of the recipient and contributing to the Pauperization of a nation; Preventable sickness, accompanied hy a menacing rise in tuberculosis ind diseases of under nourishment; Reduction in the support of public and private education, a fact Hint strikes at the very foundations of constitutional government; Extensive denial of equal opportunity as a result of economic circumstance or racial condition; The wasteful and unintelligent use of natural resources; The excessive debt carried by American productive enterprise, due to over-capitalization, unplanned cxplansion and financial racketeering, resulting in a carrying charge that precludes adequate wages for workers or reasonable dividends for own-

The increasing burden of arma-

ment;

The closed doors confronting American youth, with the consequent loss of their service to the nation, and the destruction of their faith in

on rinstitutions;

Outbreaks of mob violence:

The growth of tenant farming and tlie creation of a peasant class with no property stake in the nation.” ;t “We are unalterably opposed to any method of change that is based upon methods of war or tliat condones violence We will oppose likewise al tempts to maintain privilege by recourse to violence upon the part of those who refuse to obey decisions made by the people through the democratic process. We repudiate the entne concept of class war. The fact the class consciousness exists is a challenge to remove it, not to accentuate it Class consciousness lias no place m the ilemocrsOc community: I he very idea of brotherhood assumes

in the interests of all

rather than war in tlie interests of a

class.

■t "We dcclaiv ourselves for democracy. All dictatorships challenge democracy. Is faith in a government conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal a forlorn hope? We of Methodism answer, No! 5 “The passing of democracy would mark tlie passing of the freedom that is essential to Hie proclamation of Ihe Christian message A free church can not long survive the death of the free school, a free press, free speech and free assemblage Methodism, because of its emphasis upon preaching an dcducation, has a vital stake in the retention of democracy. We refuse to go with those who would destroy political liboray *o win economic justice. I'o the contrary, we will strive to maintain democracy to the end tliat free men may use their freedom to win oeoii oinie justice for themselves and for their brothers. For that reason we will resist dictatorship' economic jus lice is to be won by extending democracy to the industrial order not hy setting up therein the autocracy of

dictatorship.”

ti. “Believing in both democratic form and the democratic idcM, we propose to resist every form of die latorship. whether it come from the left of communism <jr the right of fascism. We will resist ail attempts upon tlie part of those who profess to fight subversive movements, while in reality they pursue policies that destroy the very democracy they pro fes sto defend Wc will n die every effort to maintain democratic government. and to retain those great guarantees of freedom tli.nl have I written into the Constitution of Hie United Slates and be olhei great democraic constitutions of tlie world, because tlie truth that makes meii free cannot lie proclaimed in staton wherein freedom itself is destroyed."

tV’HLN ASKI I) to comment on the order for fvventy-five Ford V-Hs, recently placed by Bed Cab, Incorporated, President Kuckelsliaus said, “I guess it’s just the result of our brand of SERVICE. We have been receiving so many more calls for cabs, we bad to have additional equipment. When we realized wc had to have more cars, we naturally bought Ford V-8s.” To the question, “What is it the public likes most about Bed Cab service?"—Mr. Buckclsbans said, “I'd rather you’d get that from our customers." I lere are several typical interviews.

I lii", iv "/'op" \fryrrs, (irnersl Mansgfr <*f ihe Indinnapnlis Speedway Association, speaking, lie sa\*. “There arc so many good tilings about Red Lab service, I find it hard In say which I like most.

Jlfrs. Lyman S', .lyert has this to say: “I like the convenience <*( Bed l ah service. SS hen I telephone for a Red Lah, I'm ne'er kept waiting. And I especially like the courtesy of Red (iah drivers. I hey are gentlemen, always helpful, obliging, and considerate. And I must congratulate the company on its choice of ears. Tlie Ford V-8 is more than a cab. It is an equipage.” f rom (irorge Mai all, Ptesidenl of the Marott Hotel: ''Red f abs ate modern, clean, comfortable, and roomy. Red Lab drivers arc safe drivers, intelligent in traffic, careful of passengers and pedestrians. I admire tlie vision of Red Lab management in providing sufficient cars to meet all calls without subjecting the public to annoying delays.”

And this is Mr. Ih<ima\ Kurhehkaus, I'resi. dent of Red Lab, Incorporated. "Wc have standardized on Ford V-N equipment only after the most thorough search for that car which, in our judgment, provides the greatest degree of .safi’ly, com/ort, and convenience for passengers—itsid the greatest economy of operation, lowest cost of up-keep and most dependable car performance for the company.”
