THE FIFTH FREEDOM

FREEDOM FROM DRUDGERY More than a hundred and fifty years ago, in England, the Machine Age was born in blood and rioting and terror. “Machines will snatch the bread from your mouth,’’ the worker was told. And so they did —to replace it with bread and jam. The change from the horse to the automobile, for instance, has meant the disappearance of the coachman and the harnessmaker, but motor garages provide a power of men with some verv good jobs. The private enterprise of the inventor and the investor has given to man the means of his liberation from crushing, heart-breaking toil—the fifth freedom we take so much for granted today. But let’s face it! The Industrial Revolution mentality still carries over —a tragic anachronism if ever there was one. Under our system of free, competitive enterprise, if it is allowed free play, we .have the equilateral triangle of capital—savings, man, and the machine—the machine which has given to us the highest standard of living the world has ever known.
