AMERICA-A GREAT NATION We have a great country, a wealthy country. The Commerce De- partment's estimate of the present national wealth, which includes the value of structures, equipment, inventories, and land, is $16.2 trillion. This is 36 times greater than what it was in 1940 and 41 times greater than in 1934. It is important that we continue those practices that have made our country great-to encourage produc- tivity and to ensure that essential programs of benefit to the people of the country not be discontinued simply to reduce spending. The budget must be balanced, but at a high enough level to provide a strong economy. In order to ensure our continuation as a great nation, we need a str(,-ng national defense that is backed by a strong country and public support-strength that can come only by protecting and de- veloping our nation's resources-our real wealth, our lands and waters. The development of our rivers and harbors and the con- struction of our schools, highways, airports, etc. along with an edu- cated, healthy populace, with adequate food and nutrition flowing from a strong agricultural base, provides the foundation for our na- tional growth. 61-986 0
