Gentlemen:
Sober and (let us hope) sobering is the article in your October number by Prof. Harold Wess. The economic prospect for our declining years and for our children is frightening, indeed — Despite all vague optimism, …the economic prospect etc … Beyond a doubt, we are enmeshed in an almost universal complex of animal anxieties and mutual parasitism. We have forsworn the creative self-reliance of independence for the fatal flesh-pots of servitude to the only authority that has the unlimited power to tax and rule, to enslave and destroy. Caesar rides high. Cloaked in popular sovereignty, with one hand he preempts the seed-corn of productive capital he lures the loyalty of the electorate by promises and doles
But despite the gravity of it all, Prof. Wess, like Mrs. McCawber, cherishes the rosy hope that something will turn up. This is well, for it is better to face disaster with hope than with despair. Better open-eyed hope than eyes dark with despair
In this modern and dynamic age, we must consider our assets. As we work well with them, our liabilities will take care of themselves
