ston reduces his whole discussion to
gibberish by suggesting that insecur-

curity is not synonymous with just

moment as the gnawing uncertainty
about moments to come. Even star

knows that there will be food tomor-
row and the next day and every day
thereafter. Insecurity is the immin-
ence rather than the presence of eco
nomic tragedy To a workers mind
it is the knowledge that his job may
end just when he needs it most; it
is the specter of hunting eight hours
for one hours work; it is planting a
garden and seeing the wind blow the
seeds away, and the soil with them;
it is eating too little today lest there
be nothing tomorrow.
That is insecurity. And what is Sc
curity?
An EDITORIAL in the Daily Yawp
says that security means safety with
out effort from the cradle to the

security prostituted editors enjoy;
but as a definition of what working
men want, it is worse than false; it
is deliberately, cold-bloodly, murder |
