presented by Hugh Will, recently
elected member of AVC's National
Planning Committee.
The statement placed heavy en-
phasis on the report of the Presi-
dents Advisory Commission on
Universal Military Training, which
says considers harmful the poll
cies of the states that exclude
Negroes from their National Guard
units" and that civilian compo-
nents should include all segments
of our population without segre-
cation or discrimination"
AVG points out that Negroes
are accepted at present for only
one unit of the Illinois National
Guard. the l7sth Regimental
Combat Team.
During the war, Negroes were
trained and fought in many vary
ing kinds of units, and those who
enlist in the National Guards
should be placed wherever their
skills are most appropriate, the
resolution states.
Addressing Governor Green and
the state Adjutant General, AVG
says that racial segregation poll
cies in the Illinois National Guard
are a serious failure to maintain
democratic standards and are a
"gratuitous insult to thousands of
citizens who died in World War
II without regard to race, religion
or national origin"

Can end in fascism, war

1t Expresses the worker, the farmer, the
consumer; it seeks domination over foreign lands
and peoples; finally, through its agents and
representatives in the two major political par
ties. it controls American political life and frus-
trates or perverts the democratic strivings of
the common man. If not decisively turned back,
it will end in the triple scourage of impoverish-
ment fascism and war.
This is the problem which progressive Amer
leans must face today. 1t can be squarely met
and solved only the basis of frank admis-
sion that past efforts to break up control con-
centratons of private economic power have fail
ed More than half century of bitter experience
has proved beyond doubt that antitrust laws
are ignored or circumvented, often with the con-
nivance of those who appointed to enforce
them Equally long and bitter experience has
shown that regulation of railroads and public
utilities is cumbersome, ineffective, and in the
long run more concerned with the profits of
corporate interests than with the welfare of the
country. These are the lessons of history 1t is

Need public ownership

If concentrated private economic power can
be neither dispersed regulated in the public
interest, there remains only one recourse to
people determined to defend their freedom and
create the conditions for a richer Tand better
life for all; they must take into their own hands
those great concentrations of wealth which have
such fateful potentially for good evil. 1t WILL
of course, be said that this is socialism, that it
will bring upon us all the evils of RECOMMENDATION,
inefficiency and corruption. Americans have
been too long deferred from acting in their own
interest by such charges. They are false, hypo-
critical and irrelevent.
Public ownership Of monopolistic industries
is not socialism; it does not involve regimenta-
ton nor the suppression of private enterprise;
rather, it liberates private enterprise from the
dead hand of monopoly and greed Such vast

December 1916, the Chicago meeting ex-

TN his historic message to Congress on
April 30, 1898, President Roosevelt de-
clared that the liberty of democracy is not
safe if the people tolerate the growth of private
power to point where it becomes stronger than
their democratic state itself. That. in essence,
is fascism-ownership of government by an in
dividual by group, or by any other controlling
private power" And he added ominously,
among us today concentration of private
power without equal in history is growing.
Nearly decade has passed, and the plain
fact is that this concentration of private power
has proceeded at an accelerated pace and has
reached unprecedented heights. 1t lies at the
root of Americas major economic and political
ills today 1t is responsible for extreme inequality
of income and opportunity. By depressing con-
sumption and Initiating profits, it produces
dangerous economic instability which even now
is threatening to engulf not only the United
States but much of the rest of the world in
disastrous depression

Time has come to act

We believe that the time has come to trans
late this knowledge into practice, to begin now
to cut out the cancer of concentrated private
private economic power which is slowly but
surely eating the life out of American democ-
racy. A progressive program which fails to meet
this challenge is sham cruel deception; one
that succeeds will provide the key to peaceful
and prosperous future.
For the immediate future we advocate pub
lie ownership of coal mines. railroads and cleo
tric power. This should be carried out through
the medium of Independent government corpor
protect to the full the rights OF labor and
sumers. We recommend these industries for
immediate action for the following reasons:
COAL is the basis of industrial society; coal
mining is the most exacting and dangerous Of
occupations. Private ownership has proved
wasteful and inefficient. 1t has failed to provide
decent livelihood and physical safety to the
miners. 1t will be totally incapable of plan
ming and carrying through the far-reaching re-
adjustments which the non-military use of atomic
energy will later make unavoidable.
Only public ownership solve these problems.
RAILROADS are the arteries and veins of
industrial society Under private ownership they
have failed to modernize their equipment and
operations; they practice intolerable monopo-
listic discrimination against whole sections of the
country; they have allowed the-living standards
of their employees to fall seriously behind those
of workers in comparable occupations. Only
public ownership solve these problems.
POWER-whether generated as now by coal
or water, or as it surely will be by atomic fs-
sion--is the life blood of industrial society
Private ownership has proved incapable of
anticipating and meeting the power needs of
the country it obstructs because it cannot foster
the planned development of water power
sources; and does not reduce the rates suffi-
GENTLY; it will fight tooth and nail against the
rational use of atomic energy which is uni
versally conceded to be too important and too
revolutionary to be entrusted to private hands.
Only public ownership of the generation. trans
mission and distribution of electric power can
solve these problems.
With coal, railroads and power under pub
lie ownership the stranglehold of concentrated
private interests the economic life of the
nation will be relaxed. We will continue to
consider in the light of experience and chang
ing conditions what further steps will be needed
to break that stranglehold entirely and set free
all the creative energies of the American people

be assessed at around sc per cent
@. What Is the radio-br oadcasting
system?
A. Government owned stations are
operated in all states. Every one
owning radio set pays a fee OF
1925 per year. This enables the
government station to give high
class programs without any adver-
Using. In addition, privately owned
commercial stations present pro-
grams sponsored by advertisers as
in the United States.
Living Costs Lower
@. What about living costs?
A. They are much lower than
those now prevailing in the United
States. Heavy manufactured goods
sometimes are costly, but the every
day necessities, such as food, shell
ter and transport, are very cheap.
For instance, 80 cents buys dinner
at the very best hotels, and good
plain meal at a restaurant costs
from 40 to so cents. Standard price
of a mans haircut is about Is cents,
and no tip is expected. On the basic
wage, amounting to $16.25 a week
at the exchange rate, man with a
small family can manage reason
ably well. Very few are paid the
basic wage, which is the minimum
for completely unskilled adult males.
Sixteen hundred and twenty-five
dollars year is a comfortable in
come, and for $3.50 a year one can
have a nice home, good car and
live in a state at least comparable
with that of a $10,000-a-year man
in Washington.
@. Is transportation available now
to Australia?
A. Severe shortage Of shipping IS
the biggest bottleneck in the i'm
migration program now. The large
ships that piled between the Amer
lean West Coast and Australia be-
fore the war are being reconditioned.
1t should not be many months be-
fore this service Is restored. Only
a limited number of vessels are
carrying passengers to Australia
now.

Northern competitors closer to the

1.-THE rail carriers are already pro-
posing thousands of changes, largely
upward, and the ICC requirement
of ultimate Nationwide uniformity
in ratese and classification ratings
can only result in planned and con-
trolled rate economy under which
the South has lost all control Of its
future rae destiny" Mr.. Widell
said.
The new rates, which were first
Investigated in 1899 and which be-
came known through the years as
ICC Docket No. 28300, apparently
will have little effect on the freight
revenues of the Nations railroads.
ICC figures reveal that the total
revenue loss to the lines under the
new rates will probably aggregate
about $66 900 or one-thousandth of
per cent in terms of 1916 traff1c
at the old levels. The rates yield
about per cent of the total freight
income.
The ICC estimated the lines will
lose two-thousandths of / per cent
in overall class rate revenues.
The Southern Governors Confer
ence initiated the action which
brought about the new rates and
the ICC order in May, 1915, de-
clared that the South was being
Disseminated against. Nine North
ern States, Governors of the six
New England States and 80 railroads
attacked the ICC order as arbitrary.
A three judge Federal court in Utica,
N Y. upheld the ICC position and
the challengers then appealed to
the Supreme Court.
The State of Georgia has another
suit pending before the Supreme
Court in which it alleges that 10
Southern and Western railroads con-
! spired and combined TO NIX 1relgnt
rates discriminatory against the
South in violation Of the antitrust
| laws.
| The Georgia case was instituted
while Mr.. Arnall was Governor and
he said yesterday that IF the Su-
preme Court follows up its recent
decision upholding the ICC order by
a parallel one in Georgia's suit to
terminate collusiye fixing of rates,
thus safeguarding all the people
against the threat Of monopoly. ths
basis will be laid for a new deem
tralized. prosperity in this country"
Railroad men have attacked this
suit. of course, saying that the power
of fixing rates docs not belong to
the lines but to the 1CC, Governs
ment agency.

publisher on the young mans 21st
birthday.
The editor was Henry w. Grady
of the Atlanta Constitution, and his
youthful associate, then beginning
an eminent career, was Clark Howell
1t was September 20, 1884.
Mr.. Grady, in a warm and fatherly
note, told young Howell: Don't
gamble - never drink marry
early" He added:
"If you never drink, never gamble
and marry early, there is no limit
to the useful and distinguished life
you may live"
On August II, 1947, another Clark
Howell will marry early"-the third
of his name to heed Henry Grady
and the fourth generation of Howells
to carry on the personalized journal
ism of the Constitution.
