Recovery Plan

There have been many at
temptS to bring back recovery,
but for some reason or other
they have all failed. And they
will continue to fail until these
labor-saving machines have been
checked.
I do not think we should al
low the use of the labor-Saving
machine to destroy the economic
foundation Of this country.
We should know by now that
we are going to continue to have
unemployment Is the laws of
this land allow these labor-Sav-
ing frankensteins to do the work
Of the people, with only the
owners of these machines re-
ceiving the benefits Of the saved
labor, while the taxpayers keep
the unemployed on relief.
I think that the owners Of
these machines should be com.
PEELED by law to pay to the Gov
ernmert most Of the amount
saved by the use Of labor-saving
machines.
We are allowing the labor-sav-
ing machines to eat the heart
out of our economic foundation.

In U. S. S. r.; in U. S. A. cia1ism' The Gov-
ernment, to curb the piratical instincts of various
power magnates, is setting up "yardstick' public
power projects to determine proper power rates.
The Government has been asked to take over
the East Pennsylvania hard-coal fields. There is
talk of its taking the railroads if they can't
haul themselves out of their present financial swamp
The Government is being forced to fasten more and
more controls on farm production and industrial
wages. Millions Of people living on the Govern
ment-and the Socialist ideal is to have everybody
do that.
The great flaw in Communism, as we see it. is this:
Under capitalism, a man keeps his private-industry
job by keeping his employer persuaded that he is
helping the company make money Under Commu-
nsm, the only employer is the government, and the
profit system is ruled out Theoretically, at least, so
that man keeps his job by keeping the bureaucrat
next above him persuaded that he is loyal to the gov
erning party. It's all toadying and backbiting politics
under Communism; it is mainly practical economics
under capitalism, with some office politics.
We hope this country, it drifts toward Socialism,
will take step at time and take those steps peace
ably by ballot Of thing, at least we're con-
