follows:
while respecting the sincerity which
has prompted you to take up a new line
of belief and effort, the Independence
leaguers are compelled to express strong
disagreement with you as to the remedies
required by present political and social
conditions, and also as to the general
feeling and wishes of the American peo-
pie.
You express your belief that existing
evils will be remedied by socialism, The
Independence league is opposed TO social
ism and is committed only to the public
ownership of public utilities for the pub
lie good. The independence league is not
opposed to capitalism, large or small. 1t
believes that this country should offer the
greatest financial rewards of any country
in the world to those who through indus
try, enterprise and ability confer benefits
upon the public, but that there should be
no reward for robbery, no opportunity for
the shrewd and unscrupulous to grow
rich through extortion."
