...Randall Commission is expected to lay out a clear program to help them do so by the reduction in U.S. tariffs and freer trade among Western nations. For such a program, 1954 will be the year of opportunity; it may also be a last chance. Last year the embargo on East-West trade squeezed the Russians and their satellites so tightly that at year's end the Soviet bosses could not sell enough goods abroad to buy consumer goods for their empty-handed people; they had to sell gold, and in December alone sold an estimated $85 million...
Both in and outside Government, the leaders of private industry shouldered more public responsibilities. Henry Ford II sounded the call for freer world trade, then put aside his auto job and went to work at the U.N., where his very name was symbolic of the high wages of the U.S. free-enterprise system. In his book, Freedom's Faith, Inland Steel's Clarence Randall, another of the new internationalists, wrote: "The new corps of business leaders . . . hold in their competent hands the future of free enterprise ...

Besides Hasty Pudding and Pi Eta, there are three other non-final social clubs in the College, Speakers, S.A.E. and the N.C.

Weeks billed his plan as a compromise, but if adopted it would almost certainly raise more tariffs than it lowered...
...economic phenomenon, as some disciples of free enterprise maintain. It is something more mature than that dream of rights without responsibilities which historic liberalism envisioned; it is certainly different from that terrorism of responsibilities without rights which Communism imposes. It is something wiser than free thought, and something freer than dictated thought. For freedom has its roots in man's spiritual nature. It does not arise out of any social organization, or any constitution, or any part, but out of the soul...
