there was started worldwide
class war. The intense surfer
ing from these wars has dis
sipated, we believe, most of the
piled-up evil forces which the
wrongdoing of the nations rails
ed up, that the peoples or
self-governing stock are about
ready to advance into full
fledged rule of the people, IN
dustrially and politically, the
new age, the new freedom. the
new democracy, the new republ-
canism.
In that which I have stated
are the steps for the completion
Of that full-fledged rule OF the
people, namely, the change to
capital-labor partnership in inde-
pendent plants, accompanied by
an improved system Of industry
by government regulation, along
with restoration Of international
exchange of commodities by the
use of protective tariffs-the
ending of monopoly tariffs, and
the development of international
law by means of international
conferences as called for in the
Republican platform-the Elihu
Root idea.

the progressives and the conser-
vatives. Each side has been part
ly wrong, and now that there -
to take place the rule Of the
people there opens UP an un-
expected middle course. This Is
to result In the permanent re-
tention of privately owned in
dustries, 30 as to retain voluntary
decentralization, on the basis
of equal rights, an industrial de-
mocracy and be accompanied by
real political democracy.
The alternative to this liberty
giving program-a program which
when installed will result in a
wonderful prosperity would be
an attempt at trade union rule,
to result disastriously. The urge
OF evolution is such that it must
be recognized and provided for,
which means that the elements
OF freedom are to be applied.
WHAT is NEEDED.
This is a new viewpoint, the
lifting of the obscurity as to
mans future. For eight years
there has been taking place a
vast amount of intense suffer
ing. but the end of our judg-
ment day on earth is at hand,
We predict, as is evidenced by
the gradual lifting of obscurity
as to mans future. In nation
after nation Of the self-govern-
ing stock there has been taking
place the completion Of the tran
sition to the fun-fledged rule of
the people, that is, to become
merged into an unparalleled pros
perity and world peace. Evolu-
ton, development is taking place.
The cause of the eight years
of intense suffering has been the
wrong.doing by the nations dur.

showered on the heads Of the
pariahs. The Brahmins were
chanting sacred mantrams and
hymns. A profound devotional
solemnity pervaded the long pro-
cession.
At last the main village wen
was reached, and amid an hilari-
GUS outburst of popular approval
the erstwhile pariahs drew water
from the well. This was nothing
less than a social revolution.
The revolt Of the Pariah is
shaking the very foundation Of
the caste system. And various
are the manifestations Of this col
lapse. I remember how few
years ago a young man of, high
caste had to take bath outside
before he could enter his own
home, for he happened to touch
q namasudra.
Today the namasudras. and
Brahmins, and Kshatryas and
Valsayas Of the same Bengal vii
lage are mixing among them
selves freely, and are having
inter-caste dinners. In Benares,
the holy city Of the Hindus, inter-
caste dinners are Of almost daily
occurrence. So it is all over
India.

- WISH to suggest that the
needed remedies for our in

In the direction of Government
purchase and sale Of farm prod
ucts. The needed remedies. in my
Judgment, are to be those that
shall restore freedom-freedom as
understood by our self-governing
stock, and freedom Of that charS
acter will restore prosperity.
My studies for thirty years have
been directed toward the restora-
ton of freedom, and without stop
ping to describe the big advance
in that direction, wish to lay be-
fore you the needed next steps in
vital reform, so as to complete the
installation of fun-fledged freedom
and result in an unprecedented
prosperity.
Ny main proposal is that in coal
mining and the other industries
where labor Is dissatisfied and bel
ligerent, there shall take place a
voluntary transition to capital
labor partnership In independent
plants, to result in profit-sharing
on a $3.50 basis.
RESTORE GOOD WILL.
The point Is. that good will on
the part Of the work people will be
restored. accompanied by their
taking an active part in reducing
waste and promoting efficiency.
There will be harmonized the in
terests of labor. capital and indus
trial leadership. Also there will
be restored by the independent
plants a system of supply and de-
mand as the price regulator, or
its equivalent, wherever the con-
ditions have become such that
competitive prices cannot be re-
stored. Thus by the restoration of
supply and demand, or their equiv.

A BURNING ISSUE. >
The question Of the .Pariah I'M

issues Of India today. India has
condemned one-sixth of her popu-
lation to social and economic servi-
tude, even as America has con-
demned one-tenth Of her population

Gandhi and Ranade. and women
like Sarojini Naidu and Lila Singh

practice of untouchability. 'I re-
gard untouchability," says Ma
hatma Gandhi, ''as the greatest
blot on Hinduism"
For the last fifteen years. how
ever, midas reformers have been
working with varied degrees Of
success in different provinces Of
India. AS the negro problem is
the acutest in the south Of this
country. similarly the Pariah prob
lem is the acutest in the south Of
India.
And it cannot be denied that, In
spite of all the pernicious caprices
of the Pariah system, not one
Pariah, in recorded history. has
been Iynched in India.
The vibrant message of midas
social regeneration has touched q
responsive chord in the hearts of
the Pariahs.
And they have taken so much
courage that only q few weeks ago
they held their first session OF their
communal congress at Chidamba-
ram. Madras, in southern India.
Various problems for the better
ment Of this community were dis
cussed at length.
The president Of the Pariah con-
gress thus concluded his eloquent

FREEDOM AS BASIS.
Second, recognize the need for
the application Of the elements

outcome Of the development OF

rest of the world. During the
years 800 to 500 A. D., there
took place the Great Migration,

rope, resulting in new nationali-
ties, peoples of self governing
stock, combined with the intel
lectual and artistic qualities Of
the great Kettle SUFFRAGE. These
peoples of self-governing stock
possessed traits which. in con-
nection with Divine Guidance,
have resulted in q tendency
toward freedom, eliminating In
