Il J. Robert Oppenheimer, who

GAN FRANCISCO, April 25-
~ Statesmen from the four
corners Of the earth are gath
ering in this beautiful city of
the golden gate in hopeful an
ticipation of a long-to-be-con-
tlnued big brother" policy by
marvelously rich and generous
America.
Lest some, OF these great eX-
pectations end in diSillusionment
and broken friendships. frank
ness here in San Francisco
should be full and complete.
The American spokesmen here
should make the present politi-
cal and economic situation in
this country clear We are
warier than we used 10 be
and no longer as rich as once
we were.
WE HAVE been told that the
w success Of Dumbarton
Oaks, 10 carry out which this
conference of United Nations
has been called requires three
statutory enactments by Con-
gress for its financial implement
tation.
These are the Breton Woods
plan for an international hank
and monetary fund, the repeal
Of the Johnson Law: and
grant 10 the executive Of power
10 reduce American tariffs by
an additional 50 percent.
The world conference meets
with all three of these still on
paper. None is yet law.
All are being subjected 10 a
skeptical scrutiny by the ma
tional legislative body in Wash
ington. Not one is likely TO be
accepted in full.

Not Freedom. but Slavery

TWO men of intellectual probity who experienced
and who opposed-the rise of totalitarianism
on the continent of Europe, and who probably are
living today because they found refuge in Great
Britain and the United States, have been greatly
alarmed by the totalitarian tendencies operating
in the name of liberalism which they discern at
work in these two nations today
One of these scholars is DR.. FREDERICK Hayek,
who has just published remarkable book entitled
1.-THE Road to Serfdom," and who spoke Monday
to the Economic Club
The other is DR.. Ludwig Won Misses at present
visiting professor at New York University
The two of them are agreed that
U-"PLANNED ECONOMY operated by gov
III ernment at the expense of individual init
ative within framework of private enterprise"
leads inevitably into communism or Hitlerism.
O-CAPITALISM and not any form of socialism,
- provides the ONLY economic system in which
there may be a progressive and sustained advance
ment OF wages and of standards of living.
9-ALL "IDEOLOGIES" of governmental plan
" ming, from Bismarck to Sir William Bev-
eridge and his American disciples, have the same
fatal defects and can produce only SIMILAR
FORMS OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
TYRANNY.
THE most recent expression of these thoughts
was given by Prof. Won Misses at meeting of
the American Academy of Political and Social
Science
On that occasion he said:
There are no means by Uhich the
general standard of iUing can be raised
other than by accelerating the increase of
capital as compared tDith population.
"AU that good government can do to
improve the material Dell-being of the
masses is to establish and to preserve an
institutional setting in Which there are NO
OBSTACLES to the progressive accuniu-
lation of neW capital and its utilization for
the improvement of technical methods of
production
"The only knoWn means to increase
nations Welfore is to increase and to i'm
proUe the output of products.
"The only means to raise Wage rates
PERMANENTLY for all those eager to
earn Uages is to raise the productivity Of
labor by increasing the per head quota of
capital invested and improving the meth
ods of production"
THAT is of course, precisely the course whereby
the United States developed into the most pro-
ductive country that ever existed, with the highest
wage scales and the best standard of living ever
known. w

And that is the very course that has been
halted in this country in late years by conscatory
taxation, by public squandering, by demagogic
assaults on free enterprise, and by scheme upon
scheme of governmental planning"
Referring plainly to some of the "experi-
ments' that have been imposed on America in the
guise of social legislation" and economic ''regu-
lation" DR.. Won Misses candidly admitted that the
advocates of so called liberal" theories may make
out temporary and plausible but delusive case
for themselves.
Some of their measures, he said can "in the
short run improve the lot of SOME GROUPS of
the population"
RUT eventually these very measures bring re.
~ suits the precise opposite of what was intended.
"The exact diagnosis of the economic
eUils of our age," said DR.. Won Misses, "is
that Ue haUe outliUed the SHORT-RUN
and we are suffering from, the LONG
RUN consequences of policies Which did
not take these long-term consequences
into consideration -.
"AH those eUilS interpreted as eui-
dence of the failure of capitalism are the
natural outcome of allegedly social inter
ference Uith the market -.
'f the market is not alloWed to steer
the Whole economic apparatus, the govern
nent must do it.
"What those allegedly planning for
freedom do not comprehend is that the
natural market lUith its prices is the steer
ing mechanism for the free economic sys-
ten, of a free people.
"The attempts to keep commodity
prices rigid, to raise Woge rates and to
loWer interest rates, ad ibitum only
paralyze the system.
"They create a state of affairs tUhich
does not satisfy anybody.
"They must be either abandoned by a
return to freedom of the market or THEY
MUST BE COMPLETED BY PURE
AND UNDISGUISED SOCIALISM"
And socialism, as DR.. Won Misses emphasized,
is SERVITUDE for the masses"
There is" he asserted, "no olterna-
the to totalitarian SLAVERY than liberty.
"There is no other planning for free
dom and general rUelfare than to let the
market system Work.
"There is NO OTHER means to
attain full employment rising real tDages
and high standard of living for the COM
mon man than through INITIATIVE and

the consistent inconsistency OF
those reviewers OF books in New

Russia is a land of bedraggled

Book reviewers have been u

est people on earth. In normal
times the publishing houses turn
out 10000 titles year and the
books which have received the
greatest acclaim and thus the
widest circulation in recent
years. have been novels which
depicted the meanest aspects Of
our national scene and men,
toned the beauties Of our re-
sorts and city suburbs only TO
Sneer al them. AS the oStentation

ignorant and frivolous middle

Now If realism or truthful re-
