PATERNALISM

How many people understand
the real meaning of paternalism
in government?
Paternalism means fathering
or mothering. In government it
means the assumption by the
governing power Of fatherly
relation to the people, involving
strict and intimate supervision
of their business and social con-
Germs, upon the theory that they
are incabable of managing their
own affairs, says Webster's Die
tionary.
1t is we'll known fact in fam
lily life that the child which is
.aell.mina ed and controlled by
the parent so that It's own init
.ative is killed, reaches maturity
under a great handicap and un-
fitted for the struggles and pro-
Dlems of life.
The same rule holds good in
government. Wher private init
iatiVe and enterprise are killed
by official control of the indivi-
dual or operation Of his bust
ness, the citizens lack spirit and
ambition, and the nation stag
mates and degenerates into a
helpless political subdivision on
the face of the earth.
Paternalism and public own
ership of industry, with result
ing destruction of private init
iatve and enterprise, are foreign
to the principles upon which our
government was formed. They
should be rejected by our people
when proposed in what ever
form by persons socialistically
inclined in who would under
mine the right to private prop
'erty and to private development
IF industry in this nation.
