That American editors are get
TING awake and wide awake, fast
is again proved by the excellent
picture drawn by Abner Dean IN
LIFE. January IS, 1913. Dean PIC
ture shows Communist artist
painting a scene of sweetness and
light. of a land flowing with milk
and honey, while looking at world
in which all people are chained
slaves, gnawing dry bones, carrying
rocks, hitched to the pillow, and en-
tering broken down and burning
novels. Some are dying in deep
pools of salt tears. All are hopeless.
This picture of what goes on IN
the world today IS as true to life as
life itself. The paint most commun-
istic artists use is words, sweet
words, like Liberal, Socialism,
Emancipation of Labor, Public
Ownership, Planned Economy and
so on. They all try to hide what
these words describe. But if ever
there was a people who had better
know just what they are using
these words to describe, it is we,
the people" of the u. S. A.
Here is what they really mean,
Liberal: An Individual wanting
to become a Commissar-a position
of power over the minds, the
actions and the possessions of a
group of other people, who there
upon become his slaves
Socialism, The confiscation of all
property owned by individuals,
whether these possessions are land
or other real property, money, per
Sonal property, savings, or an in
tereSt in any business of any kind.
The placing of this property in a
State pool where it is guarded by a
police organization, doled out by
Commissars, largely for the benefit
of the commissars.
Emancipation of Labor: The end
of all free trade unions-the merg-
ing of all unions into one state-cOn-
trolled and we'll policed slave labor
battalion. The end of seeking en-
ployment, of selecting trade, task
or kind of work for anyone. All
work for all people decided by COM
missars; all people told where to
work, at what, for how much All
people told where to live, what to
think what to read, what to eat
and when. No strikes. No oppor-
