A DAY DEDICATED TO TURNING WHEELS
freedom.
This is a day to remember whether you are an
employe or an employer — whether you are a skilled
craftsman with years of senority or whether you are
a fresh new worker cm your first job — whether you
are a member of a union or not. Whoever you are,
wherever you work, whatever you do to earn your
way — you and your employer are partners in pro
duction in free enterprise.
Free enterprise is an expression of freedom, be
cause labor is an important part of all enterprises. So
long as enterprise is free, the worker is free.
West Berlin is today the showcase of liberty as
stated by President Kennedy. Khrushchev does not
want his (people or the rest of the world to compare
West and East Germany from where the refugees flee
by the thousands. Today West Germany is prosperous
with thriving trade, modem factories, and no unem
ployment. Its people enjoy the highest living standard
that Europe has ever known. The East Germans have
experienced the Russian system and know which of
the two Berlins they prefer; given even half a choice
they take freedom. The Russians fear a united Ger
many, hence the crisis which exists.
So enjoy the holiday and be grateful and proud
you are an American, part of that country which ligtot
cd the way to freedom.__
