The differences In these three
movements are more in the name
than in the principles. They differ
crly In t,Is extent oI degree In
which they seek to undermine our
constitutional and representative
form Of government and American
system"
Sinclair previously had said v
erything proposed through EPIC"

eminent In one way or another and
his plan was constitutional.
The New Deal, EPIC and social
ism are triplets . . United in
favoring In bringing about new
social and economic order OF revo-
luton and scrapping the American
system based on wisdom and ex-
perience Of the past" Fish said.

pie the freest, must be strapped for

He answered each question by
saying 1t was being done now.
IF the government can do these
three things, then IL can carry out
