Governors control state political
machines. A state machine nor

factor in an election. PreSiden-
tial candidates will depend on
state machines in 1910. Repub-
licans have only seven governors

years it has been held almost i'm

date to carry the country with

would become a major presiden-
dal possibility.

FREEDOM OF CAPITAL VITAE AS"
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Rv PRUCE CATTONJ

(By bROOE CA4 ~
An ominous murmur is beginning to be
heard in the land in connection with the
new re-armament program. ........,, .. ~,
This program, it is explained, viii pc pc
terribly expensive. Further, it will have TO
be rushed. In re-arming we shall be COM
peting, more or less Indirectly, with the
great totalitarian nations, and because we
are a free country we shall De at a great
disadvantage in the competition. ,...., ~.
Therefore, 1t is argued, we might as well
face the fact that in order to re-arm we
shall have to surrender some Of our cher:
ished liberties Neither labor nor capital
can expect ordinary treatment; national
security is at stake, and we shall have to
countenance all sorts of interference with
profit levels, wage scales and the like.
1t would be a fine thing if, before this
sort of talk spread any farther, the people
as whole would get up on their collective
kinds legs and shout it down once and for
all.
At first blush it sounds reasonable
enough, to be sure.
The totalitarian states can re-arm cheap
ly-comparatively cheaply, anyway. They
can conscript labor and commander fac
tories and raw materials. They can. tell
working men to toll longer hours at re-
duced wages and make them like it. They
can set whatever prices they choose for
materials and can ration the supplies as
;,,l, ,oj3
to produce at any profit level the bureauc-
racy may decide on. For the duration Of
, the rearmament drive they can suspend
any or all of the ordinary laws of econ0m-.
les.
land which can do none of those things
will have hard time matching, ship for
ship, gun for gun and plane for plane with
these dictator-rdfed nations. 1t will pay
. much more for what it gets and it will take
longer to get it : And so We meet this new
argument-that until we have re-armed
sufficiently we ought to borrow few ideas
from the people we are re-arming against
Now it happens that one of the princi-
pal things we aresre-arniing for is the de-
Tense of the American way of life. It is
not merely our commercial interests which
seem to be threatened; it is the whole sys-
tenn of a free society, the whole network
of ideals and beliefs and privileges under
which, as we believe human beings have
the best possible chance to gain little
ground in their never-ending pursuit of
: happiness. "'-. ..
And it also happens that these "handi-
caps" which make our re-armanient slow
and costly are fundamental parts Of that
system. Give them up, and the system IT
self is no longer recognizable. Freedorn OF
. capital and labor are as vital in the Ameri-
1 can way of life as freedom Of speech and
freedom of religion. or. !. -.
So if we suspend or infringe ON them
in order to compete With the Faseists, we
lose the battle before it begins. Whatever
happens after that, we don't win. We give
Fascism its greatest victory right at the
start. 3 e1'i or % 49,.
, 1t is of the highest importance that we
get straight on that point right now: We
can pay any price for re-armament-ex-
cept that price. - ',' 81. 80.
