Description:Excerpt from National Conference on Planning: Proceedings of the Conference Held at Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 20-22, 1938 In the New York Constitutional Convention of 1915, that eminent American statesman, Elihu Root, was presiding Officer. At its opening session, the clergyman failed to Show up and Mr. Root, on the spur of the moment, offered a prayer that ended with an invocation of the three great words of our American democracy: Peace, Justice and Liberty. On these three great words, as on wings, men's aspirations soar above the bitterness of con icting interests that make up our daily work. But Peace, Justice and Liberty are still far from us in their completeness, because we fail to organize the kind of world in which Peace, Justice and Liberty can be fully realized. The planning movement, too, has its three great words - not words that point to a distant goal or ideal, but words that describe a technique, a right method of approach to our problems. They are foundation words, not soaring words. Our three words are Research, the Plan, the Educa tion. First, the careful, impartial study of all the facts, then the plan that can most wisely grow out of the research, and finally the educative process by which the plan travels toward adoption. It is not just an accident or a coincidence that this planning movement Should emerge at the same time that men are discovering that we are moving out of a world of scarcity into a world of potential plenty. Planning is the handmaiden necessary to a world of plenty. Without wise planning, we shall fail of our world of plenty, and instead move into a world of artificial scarcity, more cruel in its Operations than the older world of natural scarcity.
