OUR DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Uni versty called attention to the unreabty Of statements frequently made by radical speakers to the madisrbu ton of wealth in the United States It frequently said by these organizers that sometimes like 75 percent of the wealth of the country is held by two three four percent of the population The statement IS O course eous and misleading In figuring the total population the which includes infants youngsters in grade schools high schools and colleges married whose husbands are property owners and many others who should be cluded in making such comparisons.
 But even aside from that Dr. Butler well states the evidence hand dsprOves the statements of the radicals regarding the distribution of national wealth As he points out there than 5OOOOOO holders of poate securities the United States 900 people who have savings accounts tOtang twenty-five billions mOre 10000 900 members of building and loan associations whose assets total than eight billions of dollars; 15OOOOOO life insurance policies with face value of more than hun dred bion In addition to that it be added that half of the families in the United States their homes and than half of the farms without mortgages. Compare these figures with any that be gathered in regmened countries like Russia Italy Germany Poland and Austra Compare them with figures which be gathered in other country the face of the globe for that matter
 The fact S as Dr. Butter pointed out that radicals and real liberals are entirely different sorts of beings Few rad calls really liberals What they seek not the extension of personal freedom in the interest of the individual but com pIete regmentation to make the state all powerful the individual Their redistribution of wealth. carried to its logical conclusion would be the elimination of wealth. They would equaze by sinking all to the common level They will the number of life insurance policy holders building and loan association members security holders and to carry out thS plan Dut will "eaualze ownership of wealth by destroying wealth. either through necessarily heavy taxation nfaon-Ex- change.
