Washington News Letter
By Congressman Ed Gossett
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Mar. 21
_I flaw down to San Antonio last
week to make a apeech to the an-
imal convention of the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers Asso-
ciation. It is an inspiration to rub
shoulders with Texas cattlemen.
They are a irroup ot rugged indi-
vidualists who think fo'r themselves
aad who are devoted to the Amer
competitive economy. By and large
they represent the pioneer stock
that has made this a great coun-
try. We Americans are rightfully
proud of our accomplishments.
With a little more than OTf of the
world’s people and a little over
6W of the world’s land, we possess
more than half of the world’s
wealth. Beside these figures, how-
ever, we should mark down that
the total assessed value of ail of
the property in the United States
of America is approximately 186
billion dollars. Our national debt
is 254 billion dollars. In other
words, in terms of dollars we are
worse than broke. Our only real
values are human values.
We can well lose all of these
through a mania for security. If
people are willing to trade liberty
for imaginary security, they wind
up losing both liberty and secur-
ity, Tod many people now imagine
that through government planning
and programs the individual citi-
aen can be given absolute security
against all the hasards of life.
Such, of course, is utterly impost
eible. The only absolute security
of which I know is the security of
the grave and the security of the
Jailhovae. The slave is secure only
so long as his master la kind and
solvent. Striving for security, of
coarse, the antithesis of the indo-
posedly obtained It generally do-

feats its own ends. Imagine what
effect it would have upon the
character of youth to know that if
he were unable to earn a livelihood
or to own a home that such would
be furnished him by his govern-
ment. The illusion of security eats
out of thO individual his primary
attributes of good rtisenship. Of
course, the antthesis of the indo-
of freo enterprise and fence which come* from security It
the madness which comes from
fear. Both extremes are to be
avoided. Fear dethrones reason
and induces madness. It is not quite
as simple as Mr. Roosevelt’s pro-
nouncement borrowed, I believe,
from Bacon, that ‘‘The only thing
we have to fear is fear itself."
Individually and collectively we,
of course, must continue to strive
for better standards of living and
better security. But we must not
delude ourselves into thinking that
we can get something for nothing,
that everybody can live off of ev-
erybody else, and nobody work. I
personally subscribe to EmSrson’s
philosophy that everything is paid
for at some time or other in some
way or other. The books must b«*
and will be eventually balanced.
Someone haa said, "A grafter is
one whose income exceeds his serv-
ice to society.” Governments must
make the ways of grafters and
transgressors uninviting. Governs
ments should protect the weak
-against the avariciousness of tl\g.
strong. Government should write-
the rules of fair play and enforce
such rulee, but government should
never undertake tq extend to its)
citizens the illusion of complete
security. Governments should not
do for the individual what he can
do for himself.
People grow strong through dls-
cipline and denial. People grow
great through satrifice and serv-
ice. England never rose to greater
spiritual heights than when that
distinguished statesman, the Right
Honorable Winston Churchill, on
coming to power said, “I promise
you nothing but blood, sweat, toil
and tears.” It was- this great man
too, who said he did not become
the King's Minister tojpreside over
the liquidation of the Hrit»h Em-
sire. His declining years must be
iad iudeedi^'-h*; witnesses Ms suc-
cessor, who apparently did become
the King's.,Minister to preside over
the liquidation-of {he British Em-
pire by illusory promises of^secur-
ity to the British people.
A prosperous civilization usual-
ly destroys itself because ot the
contentment of the individuals
who refuse to stay on guard.

wheels cradling each mile of your going in soft,
coil-spring comfort.

We can’t show you how they dress you up.

Best we can say is they won't cost you one cent
extra.
They are part and parcel of this gorgeous Buick
package, like the Fireballing power of our new
F-263 engine—the level going of all-coil spring-
