Norfolk, Mass, June 26-(UP)- Narcotic addicts, perverts and con- nlving guards were blamed today for the sit-down strike of 600 in- mates of Norfolk State Prison Colony which lasted for an hour yesterday.

 An investigation of narcotic peddling by guards was under way. Officials said the "drug problem is an ever-present one in most prisons (but) we have never had one at Norfolk until the last year when we began to receive many transfers from the State Prison at Charles town. Employes at the prison are definitely involved"

FREE ENTERPRISE"

Bernard Baruch, one OF American captaliSm'S elder statesmen"
has come forward with a IS point program to save the national cur
rency system from initiation and collapse.
BaruchW wants to stop increasing the money supply, stop decreasing
taxes until the budget is balanced and stop bunking the public by
saying that wage increases "a be granted without increasing prices.
He also wants to continue price controls SO that employers of labor
can profit but not proiteer," avoid favoritism to particular groups
with special concern for white collar workers and small business,
etc, etc, etc.
There r. two reasons why we shall not now discuss the merits
of BaruchIs points in detail. One is that space forbids. The other, and
major reason, is that Baruch aims at preserving class injusices which
re want to abolish and we are interested in ending, not saving, the
capitalist economy.
What we do want to emphasize, however, is that what Baruch
urge. is
Economic planning and economic controls.
1t certainly and clearly is not a program for free enterprise.
We want the advocates of free enterprise-those in the ranks of
business and those in the ranks of labor-to note and admit, at least
to themselves, that Baruch is offering something entirely at variance
with free enterprise.
Why is he doing this? The answer is to preserve the economic
privileges that have been the most cherished possession of a now
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS group of owners.
1t now seems that there r. some people who re willing to
stand for controls-if the controls can be exercised in such a way that
workers will continue to produce profits for ownrs.
Nor is that anything lew. Fritz Thyssen and his fellow German
corporation heads were just IS willing to have the controls that Hitler
proposed to institute, so long a they believed they could keep their
high places and the workers would be held in their low ones.
Perhaps we Socialists unintentionally have been letting people be-
leve that the only thing to do to end the evils of the capitalist economy
is to abolish capitalism. That, however, is not exactly the case. There
can be other class economies in the future as there have been in the
past without giving workers the full social value of the product of
their toil-if the proper controls are established by the right people
Reading Labor Advocate.
