in n of our local papers of Novem-
Der 21, this was the procedure. But
the truth comes to us of how they
came in possession of everything.
From the New Majority Ca Socialist

read on its third page: For the pur-
pose of realizing the Specialization of
land, all private property and land
is abolished and the entire land is de-

to be apportioned among husbandmen
without any compensation to the for

What do they mean by private
property? Is that not a fair question
to ask at this. time? According to the
New Majority, on Its fourteenth page,
under section C, the following comes
under that category: All factories,
of production and transporta-
ton. All this, which was once per-
sonal property was wrested from its
former at the point of the bay

In the Minneapolis Sunday Journal of
February 23, we find the following:
