Churchill and Socialism
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

THE United States is moving toward
Il socialism.
Almost every law proposed or passed
in the last IL years and almost all of the
ID irec ctives' issued by job-socketed
bureaucratic officials have been in the
direction of transforming this country
into a socialistic nation modelled on the
Stain n-Hitler-Mussolni state
a THE PRICE OF SOCIALISM is
SLAVERY. for socialism is communism
that silently creeps.
Soclallsm-or communlsm-proposes
TO own all the means of production,
distribution and transportation.
THIS CANNOT BE DONE WITH
OUT THE OWNERSHIP BY THE
SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT OF ALL
WHO PRODUCE, DISTRIBUTE AND
TRANSPORT.
For those Of the American minority
who would not obey the ukases of social
ism, for those who still believed in the
traditional American principle of private
property and personal liberty there
would be a GESTAPO to either execute
them for treason or put them in concen-
tration camps.
MO MAN living today understands the
menace to civilization of socialism
or sees with more penetrating vision
beneath the camouflages used by these
masked Communists throughout the
world than Prime Minister Churchill.
He is the one great champion of the
American and British way of life in
world gone totaltarian-mad
Mr. Churchill made speech against
socialism the other day in London that
should have been relayed here and put
on the first page of every UNITED
STATES American newspaper for Mr..
Churchill, conservative and national
ist," spoke for every Yankee Doodle
American as we'll as for every Magma
Carta Englishman.
From the London Daily Express we
give these excerpts from this stirring
radio address:
THE socialistic gestapo:
II declare it to you from the bottom
OF my heart that no Socialist system can
be established without a political police.
No Socialist government conducting the
entire life and industry of the country
could afford to allow free or violently
worded expressions Of public discomfort

This would nip opinion in the bud.
1T would stop criticism as IL reared

powers to the supreme party and the
party leaders, rising like stately pin
nacles above their vast bureaucracies of
civil servants, no longer servants, no
longer civil. And where would be the

2-fhe slavery Of socialism:
Socialist policy is abhorrent to the
British ideas of freedom. Ii is in
separately interviewer with tOtalitarian-
ism and the abject worship of the state.
The state is to be the arch-empIOyer, the
arch-planner, the arch administrator and
ruler and the arch-caucus boss.
This formidable state machine will
prescribe for every one where they are
to work, what they are to work at, where
they may go and what they may say,
what views they are to hold, where their
wives are to 60 to queue up for the state
ratiOns what education their children are
to receive to mold their views of human
liberty and conduct"
O-MT. 1fuICnlu sees tndt socialism
is merely goosestepping the way to COM
munism
'The Socialists have put party before
country. This continental conception of
human society is called socialism. or i'm
the more violent form communism.
Socialism is an attack upon the right
OF ordinary men and women to breathe
freely without having a harsh. clumsy
and tyrannical hand clapped across their
mouths and nostrifS.'
I'VE HAVE not had in our time a
w stronger summation of the menaces
of socialism than Mr. Churchills warn
ing.
There can be no regimented totaltar-
ianism like state socialism without
gestapo, a cheka an OGPU or an NKVD.
Absolutism brooks no opposition.
What we need in this country is
man Of Churchill's stature and fearless
ness to combat the sociaistic Com
munists.
We have NOT such a defender of our
faith today.
Are we then, sinking into STATE
SLAVERY?

Presidential SAFEGUARDS

leader, has emphasized, is that relat-
ing to limit of the tenure of any
president.
No president of the United States
should have more than two four year
terms in office, and as Mr.. Martin
says:
"NoW is the time to put this re-
form into effect.
at can be done noW in a non
partisan Way, When IL lOit haze no
effect on the immediate political pro-
gran, OF any party.
Americas strength lies in the
principle that no man is indispens-
able and that there are many men in
eUery generation qualified and COM
petent to fill any job in America,
from the presidency down.
"By Writing into our organic iouU
the ban on too long tenure of the
presidency desired by Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson and many other
great Americans, Ue can assure our
selUes of the preservation of re-
publican form of government"
BERHAPS- the present overseas
Il journey of President Truman
suggests still another constitutional
amendment, for the remedy of an oft
recurring situation in which danger
and evil are inherent.
Why should any president of the
United States ever leave the CONT
mental limits of the country, in these
times of world wide and instantane-
Gus communications when to do so
is to risk his own life and to hold the
ominous shadow of confusion and
tragedy over the country?
The Constitution might very we'll
be made to REQUIRE the continu-
Gus presence of the President in the
country, and thus relieve the Presi-
dent himself of the necessity for a
decision in the matter under condi-
tions - such as those which have
influenced Mr.. Truman which pre-
clude decision grounded in the best
interests of the American people.
In any event, the Constitution
should clearly and unequivocally
provide for the succession to the
presidency of a chief executive
ELECTED BY ALL THE PEOPLE,
and it should most surely provide
against prolonging the term of any
president beyond EIGHT YEARS.

Forced German Labor
CnWiSe
By MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSER

TNHE management by the victorious United
Il Nations Of Naz.fied Germany raises nu-
merous paradoXes.
In light of Naz depredations and perse-
cutions, there is tendency to be motvated
more by emotions of anger than by appraisal
OF the best procedure for attaining civilized
objectives of peace and security.
Perhaps the guidepost to policy is that We
should be ourselves and be actuated by our
own civilized standards. Otherwise We may
drift into the error of making antl-nazlsm as
loathsome as nazlsm itself.
To be concrete. there have been recurrent
suggestions that Germany make reparatlons
for damage to neighboring countries through
forced Teuton labor Seemingly the sugges-
ton for compulsory labor came from Soviet
Russia whose totalitarian system has re-
quired forced labor of her own nationals.
But any type of slavery is repugnant to
Anglo-Saxon and American standards.
TN AN exploration of how 10 handle Ger
Il many, Jacob Vner, University Of Chicago
economist and onetime l.. S. treasury adviser
in foreign affairs, rules out conscriptlon of
German labor by the victors except A
means of punishment Of individuals convicted
as war criminals.
FOR uermans falrly tired as war crimi-
mails and found guilty" Prof. Viner. who ad
vocates harsh but nevertheless just, terms
for Germany points out, compulsory labor
as penalty for crimes errs, if at all, on the
side of moderation But If the rank and file
of Germans are to provide the reparations
labor. then either they must do il on yolun
tary basis or the democratic countries at
least should completely dissociate themselves
from any participation in or sanction of the
process.

THE departure of President Tru-
Il man for an overseas meeting with
Prime Minister Churchill and Pre-
mier Stain has revived national
concern in the matter of presidential
succession and accentuates the
urgent need for revision of the
system.
This is particularly true since the
President is accompanied on the
present journey by Secretary of
State Byrnes, who stands next in line
of succession.
In the event of tragedy Detailing
both the President and the secretary
of state in the course of their travels,
the strange situation would arise in
which the presidency would devolve
upon man already resigned from
the Office which qualities him as the
the third in the line of succession
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau, whose resignation has been
accepted, but with the effective date
held in allegiance until Mr.. Truman's
return.
1t is anticipated, and certainly to
be hoped, that nothing will happen
to give these speculations immediate
Importance - but, nevertheless, the
speculations are not without imme-
date purpose.
DRESIDENT TRUMAN has him
Il self proposed a remedy, suggest
ing revision of the law of presidential
succession by Congress, making the
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives and the president pro tempore
of the Senate next in line and in that
order-but that is neither an ade.
quate nor a desirable remedy.
The remedy most adequate and
desirable is only to be found through
CON NSTIT u TIONAL AMEND.
MENT, leaving the members of the
Presidents cabinet in the line of
succession as at present, but provid-
ing for their DIRECT ELECTION

In fact, there are several vital
matters relating to the presidency of
the United States which have long
required remedy by constitutional
amendment.
