SOCIALISM IS DEsPOTIsM

When Owen D. Young, testifying
before a Senate Committee recently,
stated that he did not believe in gov
eminent ownership of industry, he
was asked by a radical senator;
"Then you don't believe in the United
States government ?"f tH' ~
The theory that if you don't believe
in state socialism you don't believe
in government has been exploited
rather freely in recent months. Many
people disbelieve in! government or
political ownership of industry just
for the reason that they do believe in
government and do not wish to see it's
efficiency impaired or destroyed by
mixing it up with things that have
nothing legitimately to do with gov
eminent. e,sI:f' ,,,.,4.s>
The real name for government
ownership is political ownership.
