me private ownership of the land

probation Is the rock upon which class
RUE is built; political government is
ITS indispensable instrument. The
"aEe-workcrs cannot be freed from
exploitation without conquering the
political power and substituting col
lecflve for private ownership of the
land and means of production used for
exploitation
The basis for such Transformation
Is rapidly developing within present
capitalist society. The factory system,
with its complex machinery and
minute division OF labor, is rapidly de-
stroying all vestiges of individual
prouction in manufacture. Modern
production is already very largely a
collective and social process The
great trusts and monopolies which
nave sprung up in recent years have
organized the work and management
or the principal industries on ,la-
tlonal scale, and have fitted them for
collective use ard operation
Land and Public Welfare.
There can be no absolute private
title to land. All private titles,
whether called fee simple or other
wise, arc and must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used for the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands the col
lective possession, control or manage
ment of land to whatever extent may
be necessary to attain that end. 1t is
not opposed to the occupation and pos
session of land by those using it in IA
uSelul anu DC1ld Huc manner without
exploitation.
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
ligious belief

braces the world and will be carried
to ultimate victory by the unite work
ers of the world.
To unite the workers of the nation
and their allies and sympathiZers of
all other classes to this end is the mis-
sion of the Socialist Party. In this
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule for capitalist class rule.
but by working-class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to
realize the international brotherhood
