To Avoid Errors Be Honest With
Yourself And With The Others
HOFSES, Editor, Reading Labor Advocate

I've made it a matter of personal
policy not to lie to myself. More
over, that's something I'd recon-
mend to you. Because, when you
are honest with yourself you avoid
such errors as expecting to eat
your cake and have it too, Or de-
handing the same freedoms in the
age of mass production and con-
tracing markets as those that were
the lot of humanity when the sail
ing vessel, the hand loom and the
frontier town were symbolic of
society's highest development.
All of which is preliminary to a
brief discussion of President
Roosevelt's demand for a nation
al service" Qabor draft law.
1 agree with Bill Becker, Nation
al Labor Secretary of the Socialist
Party, when he describes such a
law as a long step in the direction
of a totalitarian America under
which a super government will
hold workers in the service of an
owning super class. But even
though l have used words like
that to present my definition of
fascism, I'm unable to deny that,
at the present writing, there is a
very real Justification for regi-
mentation and control.
For I'm the guy who has been
telling you all along that the era
of free enterprise is dead and
done with.
Well. I'm telling it to you again.
Moreover, I'm telling you now
that the world isn't going to go to
an end and that to the extent that
a free economy retreats a con-
trolled economy will have to adj
vance. For Nature is still intol-
Grant of a vacuum.
I'm reminding you, too, that we
Socialists have never ceased to adj
vocate the establishment of a
planned" economy. And I'm
asking anybody who knows the
answer to tell me how on earth il
viii be possible to plan anything
without also controlling the thing
Socialists always speak to the
victims of capitalism, to the work
ers who have been exploited all
through the era of free" capital
ism. But now it appears that the
wrong people heard what I ano
other Socialists were saying.
That's the trouble with a con.
trolled economy. The wrong PEG
pie do the controlling. The Roose.

NEWSPAPER
Is FOR LABOR DRAFT

New York. - President Roose-
velt's proposal to draft workers for
private profit has won the approx
al of the Daily Worker" organ of
American Communists.
In an editorial headed National
Service for Victory" the paper
gives its blessing to the suggestion
that workers must be conscripted
to do their duty by their country.

velts do it. The exploiters do it.
The owners do it.
The workers haven't put them
selves in a position to control and
plan. And until they do just that
the controls that will have to be
established will have the exploita-
ton of labor as their chief and
central purpose.
That's my grippe. It's not that we
are going to have a controlled
economy, but that the workers are
going to BE controlled instead of
DO the controlling.

 Word of the atrocity brought back to the withdrawn American lines however by the few men who managed to escape the festival of death. It screwed up to new pitch of vehemency the fight ing spirit of many outfit along the line
 Now the road of war has led back over the scene of the atrocities Our men are seeing at first hand the groesqely sprawed bodies of their former buddies seeing for themselves how the Nazis didn't even give the prisoners dogs chance. And it's a tonic to the fighting spirit with which the Naz reteat will be followed.
 Such scenes are by now an old story on the Rus sian front. Almost every mile of the long way back from Stangrad and the approaches to Moscow has been studded with evidence of Nazi savageryt The Russians have the backened ruins of villages, often with the bones of the murdered village folk amid the ashes of their homes They've seen the stockades where Russian prisoners Of war were killed like cattle avoid the trouble and expense of caring for them And that's one reason why the Nazis don't particularly like the eastern front The Russians fight them like they deserve to be fought
 We don't expect that the Americans and British will fight in kind the western front. German prisoners will still be treated according to the Geneva conventions But we doubt if there will be as many German prisoners there might have been.
 The Nazis have been holding their blockhouses and trenches long possible killing many Of our possible then surrendering at the last minute Maybe, hereafter, when they're up against American doughboys who saw their buddes sprawled in the snow of that execution field at Five Points Belgium, they won't shout "Kamerad!" quite quick enough at the end ta
