SOCIALIST EDITOR F0RESEES
ENTIRE RECONSTRUCTION
OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM

Joshua Wanhopc, editor of the New
York call, leading Socialist daily in the
nited states. and one o! the most widely
known Socialists in this country, said
''lh many respects I consider the Pres
idcnts address the most remarkable doc
umcnt ever pcuncd by a Chief Executive
OF this nation. The document is all the
more portcntous because it was written
by n Democrat. Hut that is explained
by the fact that 1t Is not theories that
govern oUr actions. but facts Mr., Will
son, the representative of the party of
the middle class and extreme Individual
ism, advocates an increased income tax
and Government action in the creation
of merchant marine, and calls upon the
United states to become the savior of
the collective interests of humanity.
But he who has studied history and par
ticularly the events of the past two years
need not bc astonished at the political
phenomenon embodied in Mr.. Wilson's
message. The properticd classes of Eu-
rope are today compelled to hand over
more and moro of their wealth, which Is
being thrown by billions into the fur
mace of the European ContlaEraton. The
United States must follow suit.
The big capitalist interests of this
country viii discover in the not-dstant
future that they will be called upon to
surrender constantly increasing parts of
their wealth, and Mr.. Wilson's address
indicates very clearly the beginning Of
that process. The only logical result to
which this process can lead is the COM
plete reconstruction of the economic sys-
TEN under which the United states and
the rest OF the world are living today.
Europe really abandoned that system in
August. 1911. II has been wiped out by
the fires of war. In the United States
it will also give way to another system,
although do not believe that we will
have to fight a war to accomplish it.
"Mr Wilson'S address is another earn
est OF the inevitable coming of collectiv-
ism and the substitution of social own
crship for the present system of private
enterprise And this means socialism.
