Henry Hazlitt argues in Newsweek that the real right to quit work must be matched by a right to work. He condemns closed shop, union shop, and mass picketing as coercive limits on employment, asserting labor freedom rests on both rights.
A historical column argues that labor unions form monopolies that threaten public welfare and national security. It criticizes the Norris Laguardia Act for exempting labor from anti trust laws, urges bringing unions under the same statutes as industry, and warns against rewarding or penalizing either side.
Lew Hahn of the National Retail Dry Goods Association argues that after the Seven fat years retailers must adjust to scarce to abundant goods. He urges optimism and adaptation, noting mass distribution drives mass production and that the buyer seeks quality, price, display, and service. Opportunity awaits the good merchant.
The piece argues that even a small push toward socialism risks a self feeding expansion into a fully controlled economy. It cites Britain under Labor as aiming to nationalize key industries and ration through government powers, warning this could lead to a police state and loss of liberty in the United States.
The piece argues that big airport runways and inland waterway use shift most costs to taxpayers and motorists through taxes and fees. It contrasts rail grants, noting only 8 percent of U S rail mileage received land grants, which were not gifts but tied to government freight and mail obligations.
The text notes that by 1916 railroads had paid the government reduced rates totaling nearly ten times the lands' original value. It contrasts this historic transaction with contemporary taxpayer expenditures benefiting commercial transportation.
The piece discusses the Hiss and Coplan trials and the dispute over an FBI report naming individuals as communists or sympathizers. It notes the report was not conclusive, argues the FBI favored gathering data, and highlights the DOJ decision to disclose contested evidence to judges.
A compact excerpt notes Emerson on speech and action as form of thought and the need to form perfect mental models continually to shape grand, noble lives, followed by Eddy asserting simple yet grand art. The fragment hints at the interplay of ideal models and practical life.
Amiel notes the greatest elevation occurs both in the artist and in public life. The remark emphasizes the peak attainable through creative contribution and civic engagement.
A fragment notes that pessimists can be shaped by optimism, suggesting some pessimists are that way because they backed an optimist. The terse line hints at a mindset shift without details or names.
