Shall we say that American birthdays this year are being made at least happier than they would otherwise be because all of us are still living under a free people's philosophy? ...

Profit System Condemned. "Christian doctrine must insist that production exists for consumption. ... To a large extent production is carried on not to supply the consumer with goods but to bring profits to the producer. . . .

Even physicists who turn up their noses at Buck Rogers talk had to admit that the practical harnessing of atomic power was now much nearer-though they still insist it is far off. When a slow-moving neutron hits the uranium atom's nucleus, the nucleus is constricted around the middle and finally splits, like an amoeba reproducing itself. But though the energy of the activating neutron is only a small fraction of one electron-volt, 200,000,000 electron-volts...
