:MACMUSES
BY MAC COOPER

Millions OF Americans do not
realize that a crucial battle Is be-
ing waged in the nations capital.
This issue Is most accurately des-
cribed as socialism versus free
enterprise. There are Republicans
and Democrats on both sides.
However, the Democratic admin
isration Of the past II years has
ever been weaving a closer knit
socialistic state of the Union. We
are probably much closer to the
paternalistic, socialist state Of
England than we realize.
The Standard Steel Spring Co.,
Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, has
this to say: Let's put away all
the ten-doIlar words and call a
spade a spade. Socialism - in
plain English - Is nothing more
nor less than political manage
ment Of the lives - the total lives
- Of the people.
Somewhere back in history -
around 1776 - it seems we polish
ed up some muskets, rammed 'em
with gunpowder, and stopped the
first attempt to manage our lives.
And again in 1917. And again in
1871.
What manner of people are we
who will fight at the drop of a
hat to prevent control from the
outside and submit blindly to con-
quest OF our lives from within?
step by step - inch by inch
the starry-eyed dreamers and
planners in our midst 60 on and
on - plotting and planning more
control of our business machine
without which this nation would
swiftly lose its power and its
greatness.
step by step - the burden Of
taxes grows heavier, sitting
business growth and progress -
undermining our capacity to
create jobs.
More and more, restriction
follows restriction. More and more
political management of our lives
our total lives - makes q farce
of democracy the last genuine
democracy on earth.
That - Mr.. and Mrs. U. s.
Citizen. by whatever name you
choose to call it, Is Socialism in
the making!
That is the same bag of pohti-
cal tricks that has finally made
the courageous, fighting people of
England victims of q busted econ

omy. Victims finally Of political
management Of Business.
Under political management
last year in England, Civil Avia-
ton lost a hundred million dollars,
Coal lost a hundred and eight
million dollars. Railroads lost an
estimated hundred million dollars.
And who pays the bill? The
people, of course - in taxes that
kill all initiative all desire even
to work for more than the bare
necessities of life.
A 40 dollar a week wroker in
England works twelve weeks out
the year to pay his taxes. Auster-
ity, they call it. The other word
for it is starvation. And what is
the prospect of relief? None-as
long as Business remains under
control Of politicians who know
nothing Of business operation and
management. This is Socialism in
England - in action! This is poll
teal management in action! Man
agement that has driven prices up
and the standard of living down,
turned profits into losses, lowered
production, reduced the quality
Of goods and services. Manage
ment that will finally run the
total lives of people at a loss-a
loss Of pride, of dignity, Of free
dom, of all that we hold sacred.
In England - it may be too late.
For once a nation gives up its
freedom-submits to those who
seek power for powers sake
there is small chance of escape.
In this country-where your
freedom is at stake-it is later
than you think, and the decision
is yours. Before you decide that
you will allow U. s. business
your business to be politically
managed-your life, your total
life stripped Of the freedoms
you have known-it will profit
you well to watch out for this
thing called Socialism 49, because,
brother - you don't know the half
of it,"

Attorney Leader Wins Motion
To Waive Preliminary Hearing

Attorney R. H. Amphlett
Leader motioned the Police
Court yesterday to waive the
preliminary hearing into the
murder charge against John
Martin, now being held for
the murder ofMrS. Catherine
Hendricks on the afternoon
of December 10.
The motion was argued be-
fore Judge D. c. Canegata,
who granted the motion hold
ing the accused to answer in
the District Court. A similar
motion will be argued in the
District Court by the Attorney.
Should it be granted Martin
would be declared insane and
therefore could not be tried
for murder but would probab-
ly be committed to an insane
asylum. .
It was the first time in the
history of the Virgin Islands
that such a motion has been
presented in a court Of law, it
was learned. In his motion to
the lower Court Mr.. Leader
contends that the accused is

upwards of n years of age;
that she has been for years
prior to the present time suf-
fering from the following di-
seases: Paronia, Psychoneur-
osis, and Senile Dementia";;
that, because Of the accused
impaired mental and physical
faculties, he cannot properly
understand the import of a
Preliminary Hearing; that,
this is not a motion to waive
Hearing, but a
motion that no Preliminary
Hearing can legally take place
and that while the law allows
an accused to waive Prelimin-
airy Hearing an accused cam
not waive what he cannot un-
derstand; that, "this motion is
not made for the purpose Of
delay, or to defeat the admin
istration of justice, but solely
and entirely on account of the
impaired mental and physical
condition of the accused which
have rendered him incapable

cess now in operation, or to
