poverty. Show me where it has not
meant rigorous and arbitrary reg
ulation, and whore it has increased
private initiative and consumers
choice Show me where it has
proved to be "the road of escape
to true freedom as well as to peace
and plenty Show me this Utopia
not on paper, but in reality!
The Socialist admits in his
writings that socialism in Ger
many, Italy and Russia resulted in
naziism, fascism and communism,
but he says these were pervcrslons
Of true sociaiism-and he abhors
them. That's fine, so do l. But show
me where socialism has avoided
these pitfalls and led to freedom
and prosperity for everyone, as his
blueprint says it will
The socialist points out and
undcrscores many Of the errors Of
American capitalism and agree
that there have been many mis-
takes, but his solution and mine
are at opposite ends Of the pole.
am more afraid Of his cure than
am Of our present ailments. He IN
sists that private monopolies have
many evils and | agree. But if
monopolies are destructive of
freedom, then we do not cure the
evil by instituting a bigger and
more powerful monopoly-the gov
eminent
The only cure for monopolies is
freer and more widespread com
petition in an economic system
which insists that this door Of pri-
waite competition and enterprise
stay open.
Another objection ! have to
socialism is that socialism and
communism are natural bedfeIlows.
Both believe in public ownership
instead Of private ownership, and
both are buddies in their hatred Of
capitalism, free-enterplise, and the
profit motive. They differ only IN
degree and in means, but socialism
is closer to communism than it is
to capitalism, and when that criti-
cal moment comes, the socialist
will sacrifice his belief in freedom
before he will relinquish his col
lectivized program for what he
calls security"
Here lies the greatest danger Of
socialism. Actually, it is the eco
nomic philosophy Of communism.
Those Of us who repudate it do 50
for two very definite reasons
First-We believe that economic
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-05-21

off the free play of competition
around him then he has cheated
himself and his own system. When
ever believers in freedom discrim-
mate against .minorities, or SHOW
favoritism to meritless friends,
then they are sabotaging THEN own
constitutional principles and weak
ening the foundations upon which
America was built Whenever any
individual or group Of individuals
in America uses the political
power to gain advantage at the
expense Of others then such per-
sons or groups are undermining
the structure of our Republic, and
the results will be evil and unjust.
Whenever an American acquires
wealth or power, and then fails 10
be Il good and honest steward Of
these benefits then he not only
denies the principles Of America,
he denies the principles Of Chris
tianity.
All these dangers can be met,
but only by constant vigilance. And
indeed, it is one of the great bene-
fits of democracy that it teads to
keep the people alert, to train them
in self-reliance, and to make them
realize that above all other guar
antees must stand sound systems
of education, so that they will know
how to find and face real issues
intelligently.
The answer, and the only answer,
is for all of us to educate our
selves to the responsibilities as
well as to the benefits of freedom.
Perhaps, as a people, we are not
morally strong enough to be free.
If that is the case, then we shall
certainly lose our freedom, and it
will not matter much what ism"
supplants Americanism. But this
will not prove that our free way of
life was not the best way. 1t will
only prove that we were not worthy
Of that way
But God has created us to be
free. Let us make ourselves worthy
to have freedom and to be true
Americans in every sense of the
word
With our feet firmly planted on
the solid foundation Of freedom,
and our eyes upon the eternal
values, let US build upward to the
realization of our fondest dreams
of understanding, good will and
peace.

There is no question but that
socialistic proposals seem logical,
Just and humanitarian. They sound
like the idealistic answer to a mud
died worlds prayer. In one breath,
they dcnounce the slavery Of
totalitarianism and the crazy
quilt of capitalism, and offer a
Utopian middle way" which is
supposed to eliminate the liabilities

leclivism and individualsm. They

Thus she used the carrot and stick
method to get individuals to create,
produce and succeed. This free way
Of life is a rugged, painful bust
ness at times, but it has paid the
biggest dividends OH earth and it
has been worth every weary mile
Of it. / believe in Democracy, be-
cause it works!
Freedom appeals to mans
strength; socialism and communism
appeal to mans weakness. Free
dom teaches a man to stand indie
pendently. on his own feet; the
others teach INN to lose himself in
the protective herd.
Freedom places its emphasis on
man himself as being created by
God and has inestimable worth;
the others lose man in their en-
phasis on mankind
There is not single socialist
or communist doctrine that does
not sound good. but which is not
equally fatal. One OF their oft re-
peated doctrines is that %'produc-
ton should be for use and not for
profit" But the socialist does not
say "who" is to decide what is
for use. 1t is easy to look upon
the auto today and call it use
full" but who thought so in its
awkward infancy? Would the air
plane have been considered use
ful?" Or the radio? or television ?
Or splitting the atom? Who among
men is 50 wise that he can know
these things in advance, and there
fore be trusted with the power to
permit or forbid them?
And who profited most from the
creation and transportation of
the auto together with all its sub
sequent allied industries-did
Henry Ford? Or did the whole
American people, whose standard
of living was raised thereby? Did
Henry Ford's accumulation OF
wealth come out of anyone else's
pocket? Or did he create a new
source Of wealth for millions Of
less gifted people?
My argument against socialism
is that America already has the
best economic and political system
vet devised, and that this is proven
by her glorious record-and not in
a paper blueprint. And | also think
that it's about high time that we
begin telling these facts to our
children in our schools and in our
homes, America did not become
the breadbasket, the factory, the
bank. and the hope of the world by
following the wrong systems or
believing in the wrong principles.
Hcr solution Is to reacqualnt hef-
self with her own best way Of life,
to reacquaint herself with Al
mighty God to whom Washington
prayed at Valley Forge and the
Cod who mas made al these things
possible, and to live up to her
tenets more faithfully not to
throw away this way of life before
she has completely understood or
practiced it.
American capitalism has never
failed; only some Of our human
capitalists have failed.
