a study Of corporate incomes Iii the
United States during, the war
periods, when profits are supposed
to have been larger than ever be-

and public utility industries in that
year were divided as follows:

Tie total paid in interest and divi-
dcnds was 20S per cent of the
values created. That is what went
as compensation to the people who
provided the capital employed in
these industries. It did not all so
to rich people. The interest pay
mcnts went for borrowed money,
and many of the securities of these
corporations are owned by savings
banks, insurance companies, en-
ploycs and small investors. The un-
distributed surplus is not personal
income, but a part of the capital
employed in the business. 1t is be-
ing used to enlarge the business,
increase the product and afford en-
ploymcnt to more labor. AS long
as it is SO employed it is a common
fund, rendering service to the en-
ploycs and the public as we'll as to
the owners.

in an interview in aFrgo:
"The protagonists Of state social

reign in the state for more than four
years and have produced a failure

COLONY is A SAFE
HARBOR OF REFUGE

Referring to the ominous unemploy-
Iment condition throughout the world
and comparing the situation of the
lcolonist at Newllano with it, one Of
THE speakers at the psychological meet
ing on the evening of June 10, ex-
patiated upon the economic security
and consequent tranquility of mind en-
joyed by the members of this coop
erative colony. Being the owners of
5000 acres of land, with its own re-
sidences, productive farm, and garden,
many channels Jof employment, the
men, women, and children of this
group have gained vantage ground
/ in the economic struggle where no
troubles that beset the wage worker
can ever reach them.
Of course, by reflex action, some
of the accustomed avenues of dealing
with the competitive world are closed,
because of the the lack Of purchasing
power on the part of the unemployed
workers, but by prudent development
of home resources, this drawback can
successfully be met and made a spur
to the development Of higher meas
ure of self-reliance.
Instead of purchasing outside sup
plies, make a more extensive use of
home products.
A wealth of wiId-growing blackber-
ries are to be had free for the pick
ing and in conjunction with the col
ony cane syrup can be made into fine
preserves and jellies.
With fresh vegetables in the gar
dens, henfruit from the poultry, milk
from the dairy and meat from the live
stock, the people Of the Colony require
no outside supplies 1t is practically a
5elf-supporting domain, and. if not en-
-irely so at the present, can be made
20 with few additional Improvements.
If the outside world wants to deal
With the Colony, it must be willing to
accept the things that the Colony pro-
luces in exchange for what the Col
my may use from outsiders. Natural
rade is the exchanging of work or the
of work for other peoples
work or their products. Money has
,een camouflaging this naturally nor
nal process in order to enable lot of
nterIopers to exploit the producers. |

upon which most of the colony houses
stand and includes the big concrete

Now, Comrades, this company that has
done this generous act appears to have
in our integrity and in our
