WHAT SOCIALISM PROPOSES

That socialism has been gaining
ground rapidly the last few years

people. What it proposesis given by
one OF its leaders and advocates as
follows: |. Social ownership of all
social utilities. 2 Democratic con-
troll of social industry. 3. Guaran-
teed education of all citizens. 1 Hon.
orable rest in old age. g.. No child
labor, o. Equal political and indus.

fight would have been to ostracise
himself ia business and social way
in that city and bring disgrace to his
family, because local sentiment has
much more force among them there
