salo' most Of the races of the world
never known freedom and most
OF the races of the world have never
known the capitalistic system as we
know it.
He traced the growth of legisla-
i've freedom in the various countries
OF Inc world and said that the free.

wouldn't work in some countries.

cry Sokolsky declared.
What does that do to us-can we
live in a world half free and half
slave?-of course we can. The theory
that we have to fight an ideolostcal
war is without basis. The assump-
ton that we must determine how
other people are to live is u~ten-
able-we have nc such right. But
we do have the right to keep them
from telling us how to live."
He termed as "nonsensical" the *
preston Of President Roosevelt tha.
he would like to take the dollar sign

nothing to the United States, for we
have nothing to exchange with any
one with whom we want to be on

Of economy, he said in tracing trade
and political control of nations. He
then declared that the three alter.

to War and destroy totalitarianism
in Europe; (2) set up a wall around
ourselves and do no buying or trad
ing with others; and (3) accept their
system of barter.
He dismissed the barter system by
saying that in the event we did take
it over that we would have to be-
come a totalitarian nation. Isola'
tionism, he said, would lower our
standard of living depreciably as
there. would be less market for our
products, and war, he said, would
not solve anything, either"
Among the things this country
should do, he said, is conduct q
propaganda program in South Amer
lea and take off the nationally so
cialistic measures Of the New Deal
which has hamstrung business fol-
eight years. He said that capitalism
has always been under a system OF
regulation but that the New Deal
had substituted control for regula'
ton He termed the Interstate Com
merce Commission a Every evil in
stitution" which is destroying ou1
railroads.
The New Deal is being based on
administrative law, in which the

At the close of his regular lecture
Sokolsky answered a number Of
questions from the audience, includ
ing the needs of a world federation
of trade, the place Of Russia as a
nation and why Hitler prosecuted
the Jews. This latter, he said, was
more of a matter of expediency.
"a politician has to attack some
one and if Willkie had really made
up his mind and had attacked Roose-

he said.
