PLENTY Seem DIFFICULT

When We read the ponderous articles of some of capitalisms
columnlsts and ponder the charts and graphs of economists we some
times suspect that a conspiracy has been formed against the thinking
apparatus of the American people.
1t seems to be the purpose of u wise" men and thinkers" to
make the common citizen believe that there is a great and somewhat
mysterious difficulty that obstructs the enjoyment of all the things
that workers need.
We challenge any such suggestion. 1t is not hard for workers to
produce the things they need. There is no mystery connected with the
satisfaction of human desires.
Take housing as a example. There are plenty of people 10
produce the raw materials which go into houses. There is an abundance
OIL human beings who can or could be taught to build. Why, then. is it
that there isn't an about drive to fill this most reasonable of
demands?
The answer is that the people who rule our economy and u
nation aren't interested in building houses. What they are interested
IN Is making profits. And while it would be a simple and easy matter
o construct homes for people to live in, it is not 30 easy for the
conapsing capitalist economy to do the job in a manner which would be
profitable to the few people who control materials and hire labor
ms nation was able to produce abundance for war because the
winning Of the was of such importance that the way was cleared
1or profits by government action. We say that the way could be
cleared for building and producing by government action if profits
for the few were not the first consideration and if the purpose sough,
was the welfare of human beings.
People stand in their own way when they continue to tolerate the
profit economy. They are playing the other fellows game and con
cerned about matters which should not concern them at all when they
accept the proposition that they must wait for the things they need
until private business is able to find some way to supply them.
Here in these United States there still is plenty of everything
own the nations resources.
Frankly, we sometimes wonder what's loose in the skulls of Ameri-
cans. What is it that makes veterans, who defed Hiters legions to
win a war, now meekly permit a few puny owners, with nothing
more dangerous IN their hands than stock certificates, to tell them
can't enjoy the riches of the nation they saved?
1t would be a simple matter to have a full life in this country
A IL the people would have to do would be to make things and use
them. The only reason they can't do that is because they still recognize
the right of the few to own the nation and exploit the many who own
notwithstanding Labor Advocate.
