ARE THE PEOPLE of the United
States being adrOitly educated into
the belief that they are no longer
competent as individuals to man
age their own affairs, Are there in
fuences at work in our country,
taking advantage of the war to
SOW the seeds of state socialism?
There is persistent effort being
made TO convince the people that
wartime controls and restrictions
must fellow into the postwar era.
War brings not only the threat of
an attacking enemy. but the danger
of entrenched officialism which
never willingly relaXes its grip.
The United States is the worlds
greatest example of the accom-
plishmcnts of free people, as
Contrastcd with nations where gov
crnmcnts have been in the drivers
seats.
When this war started, free en-
terprise in the United States was
prepared to produce; the railroads
were ready to transport; the cleo
tric power companies were ready
to furnish power; the coal mines,
the oil wells. the retail distributing
system. agriculture. our autOmO-
bile industry. all business was
ready to go at the drop of d hat
American industry long had been
producing ON an efficient, COmpCti-
tive basis. as cOntrastcd with the
lcthargy of government mOnOpOl-
les in foreign nations.
Mobilization and distribution of
nations resources in wartime.
including her sons and daughters,
is one thing but bureaucratic con-
troll of the industries and business
eS of free nation, and the SuhSti-
tuition of political management and
Judgment for individual emery, in
telligCncc and responsibility in
peacc-tmc. is another thing. The
latter leads to the death of liberty
as surely as the first prevents the
encrOachmcnt of tyranny.

THE MEAD COMMITTEE has
made public glaring examples OF
loating on the job and Labor hoard
ing.
Stories of similar nature from
unofficial sources have long been
common knowledge. Private citi-
zens can recount from their own
experience. diSgraCctul examples OF
deliberate loafng ON war jobs.
Many conscientious workers have
quit war jobs because they could
not stand the waste of time they
were required to endure.
The answer to criticism of labor
lOating and labor boarding is al
ways, I'VE have produced the
goods" That may be true. but at
what Il price, How much more
could have been produced other
wise. We have now reached the
point whore hoth money and man
hours are growing scarccr. Let lis
hope that ii the Mead Committee is
not able to penalizc or punish la
Dor lOafcrS or labor hOardcrS. that
revelations which it can make will
arouse the nation and shame the
offenders into a correction of their
