The American way is what Eric

The worker cannot strike against
the government: he can against
private employers. Thus the free
dom to strike becomes, strangely
enough, part Of what we call the
right to the individual. It was the
spirit of the colonists in l776 to re-

ments, but 1t is all part Of the
scheme of things as we see it.
Industry's move toward decentral-
ization Is q recognition that Amer
lea cannot endure the continued
overcrowding Of property-less work
ers into large cities where. as Louis
Bromfield puts it, human dignity,
decent morals. good diet and even
a moderate education were and are
virtually impossible"
The backbone of democracy Is It's
middle class, the group Of citizens
who own something, who have
some stake in individuality, In free
dom, in good government, In the
protection of civil rights and in the
nation as q whole. Democracy is
essentially q giant cooperative In
which all the citizens have a stake.
The middle class is the strongest
bulwark against any totalitarian
form of government"
Bromfield's solution would be to
bulwark social security by owner
ship of agricultural land, whether
q few acres or q large tract, and
to restore fertility Of the sou to
make possible q sound income by
which more than half Of. our popu-
lation- Living ON farms and In vii
