the House: IN fact, their strategy
calls for them to avoid it,
The political complexion OF the
new House will be 222 Democrats,
POS Republicans and four third par
ty members. There is one vacancy
When the House meets TO or
ganize Jan. s, the Democrats viii
again propose Rayburn, the Repub-
leans will nominate their leader,
Rep. Joseph Martin, Jr.. of Massa-
chusetts, while the third party
members. il they follow tradition,
will offer and vote for a candidate
from their own number.
Thus, unless the Republicans
can persuade 10 Democrats to Join
them, Rayburn's reelection will be
automatic. And the concensus now
is that the present speakers re-
election will simply be routine.
House members cite several rea
sons for this.
J. Rayburn Is very popular on
both sides of the aisle. His con.
duct Of the affairs OF the lower
branch have won him repeated
tributes from the floor. with Martin
himself terming Rayburn zone of
the great Americans OF our times.
2. There have been no signs OF
revolt within the Democratic
ranks: H. anything. the majority
ranks have closed tighter so far as
the speakership and organization
OF the House is concerned.
3. COP strategists have not ser
iously considered trying to upset
things because they can see little
to be gained and much to lose.
They are represented as feeling
that Republican control OF the
House would undoubtedly be mis-.
represented abroad while on the
domestic front It would supply the
Administration with a convenient
Whipping post If legislative fail
ures occurred

stanju resiti tai problem. Pred covecanstvom
stao ie izbor - iii ostati u drustvu slobodnih
liudi krepati cd gad iii pokusati, svaki ma
svoj nacin, resenje problema hrane, odela
kucistva. Vrla cinjenica da Sc ljudski rod
dao ma posao resenja problema svoga opstan-
ka dokazuje da sloboda, bez sredstava potreb-
rih "a izdrzavanje zivota, nije najpovoljniia
sloboda. tako drustvo gubi slobodu pocinje
ropstvo Ne najamno ropstvo pod kojim Sc mi
danas nalazimo, vec licno ropstvo - potpuno
ropstvo ropstvo duse i tela.
Pocetak ropstva belezi pocetak borbe "a
slobodu Licn robovi su Sc bunili protiv robo-
vlasnika, burzoazija kmetovi protivu vlastel-
stva, ma kraju bunili su Sc i bune Sc najam-
nj robovi protivu svojih izrabljivaea. Rezulta-
tt owe borbe doneli su povratak slobode - o.
granicene slobode. Ia sloboda je ogranicena ma
politicko pole Takvu polititMu slobodu uziva-
mo mi u America, ali sve ogranicenijem smi-
slu.
Ako je ! e m proizvodn]e resen,
ako smo u stanju proizvesti dovoljno hrane,
odece kucistva, tada je doslo vreme da uzi-
yamo potpunu slobodu slobodu lzoollJu.
Da Ii ie resen tai problem proizvodnJe? Uzmi-
mo Ameriku "a primer. Broj stanovnika A
merici prelazi 13O miliona Prema najnovijim
ciframa broi radnika koji su uposleni proiz-
vodnji hrane, odece kucistva "a 13O mlllona
bica ne iznosi nj punih 10 miliona radnlka,
dok celokupni broj radnika America dostlze
skoro 60 miona. Ne mislimo da je potrebno
mnogo racunanja da bi dosli da zakljucka da
proizvodna moe radnicke klase Amerike pred
stavlja potencionalnu proizvodnju izobilja svih
stvari potrebnih ne samo "a izdrzanje zivota
yec i "a uzivanje zivota. Prema tome, problem
proizvodnje izobilja resen je. Uslovi "a povra-
tax potpune slobode ma osnovi ekonomje izo-
bilja gotovi su.
Reki smo da dosadanja borba "a slobodom
donela nam je samo politicku slobodu, to
ograncenu politicku slobodu koja svakim
damon sve wise ogranicava. Kad vec imamo
materijalne uslove "a potpunu slobodu, zasto
Sc svet krece pravcem kojim gubimo svu slo-
bodu? Nasi predaci su zivel svojoj slobod-
moi zajednici sve dotle dok su zajedncki po-
sedovali obradjivali zemlju; netom jedan deo
nasih predaka bi lisen zemlje oni izgube svoju
slobodu postanu robovi posednika zemlje.
