Page 2 # - oes We shall not only humbly, yet also proudly and exultingly submit ourselves $0 that PRACTICAL PRIN- CIPLE. We shall be able to express this PRINCIPLE in the simple terms of our economic and political life and institutions. We shal! be able to permit this PRINCIPLE to work in our economic and political life and institutions. That which is fundamentally sound is the most practical. Any idea that is not practical is worth- fess. Ideas that are most fundamentally sound have the most practical value, We hereby den and turn our backs to the floundering and futility, hate and envy, we have ed im formerly. i ‘oclamation of PRINCIPLE, the PRIME MOTIVE POWER, as our SPONSOR at decisively depart all current aims and methods of the usual attempts to bring about economic and poli order. It is because @™ this departure, and only because of this departure, that we shall be able to say thing sympathetic, opkclns and constructive to restore our bodies, minds, souls and our society. Should we try to do it otherwisE, We would only find ourselves fallen into the weary round of earnest beatings in the aff, or of insincere presumption and pretense of knowing. Do you still wish to know who are the sponsors of this organization? Then seek to know this PRINCI- PLE, PRACTICAL ESSENCE. Until we understand and use the ESSENCE of the PRACTICAL, we do pot know the SPONSOR of this work—even though we be told the names of ourselves who are the servant sponsors of SPONSOK NUMBER ONE. When we, the members of all the Solution for All Clubs, have be- come conclusively confident that the so-called sponsors humbly and gladly subordinate themselves to SPON- SORING PRINCIPLE; when we, all the members of all the Clubs, have become conclusively confident that we do all subordinate ourselves to that PRINCIPLE, and are conclusively confident that we are ready, willing and able to apply this PRINCIPLE, or to permit this PRINCIPLE to apply ITSELF, then the names of the spon- gors will be revealed. We now apologize to PRINCIPLE, and to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, and to the American People, if we Ihave appeared to exalt the person of Col. Lindbergh above PRINCIPLE. All men who are, and be con- mected with this movement shall be capable of doing so only in so far as they have identified themselves with MOVING SUBSTANCE and POWER. We believe that Col. Lindbergh is capable, and will become capable, of throwing himself witb others into ESSENTIAL ACTION in our social living and being. Col Lindbergh has placed himsel{ before the public. He remains there. We of these Clubs continue to see him there. We rec- ommend to you the article entitled “Lindbergh Today” in Scribner's Commentator for August. This article appeared entirely independently of this Club. It is, of course, impossible in 1940 to put anybody into the pres- lency on any but the usual run of issues. Our concrete objectives will reveal themselves step by step as we epproach 1944, and before. Be patient! We have an economic and political system concretely prepared. We are not presenting that system now. Since it is for a short time from now, it is not for today. Therefore, today we must know what we know or can know now, and do what we must do and can do now. As we do in the successive nows what we most do, we shall find that each thing done is already a part of that which is the culminating plan that has not been presented. More and more we shall see it arising out of the natural, logical, steps we accomplish. Trusting. dear friend of the Club, that we have for this particular now fully carried out our obligations to the Le ourselves known, en ring you that we wish to Ley bare before you the very SUB- ing you that we wish to ley bere you the very SUB to the country to make ourselves known, and assuring y STANCE. ENERGY and NAME of the ACTION of ESSENCE within us, we remain, Sincerely yours, Executive Committee, SOLUTION FOR ALL CLUB No. 1. In accordance with our practice of noting the vita! truth in all ¢deas, practices and p ms, we recom- mend, for careful study, the articles, in the Commonwealth magazine for September, on the Finished Products Single Tax, and on the Ad Valorem Property Tax and what it is doing in our syatem. These articles arose independently of our Club. We urge you at Jeast to keep these subjects in mind in order in the future to note their essentially close relation within the inclusive objective order we shall present. Our November letter will be primarily an organization letter. It will be devoted to give you some simp| eules and proceedure for establishing yourselves as clubs in the Solution for All organization. The letter wil also outline the first of our practical steps in the building ap of our economic and political structure.
