I Socialistic Tendencies In American Farmers Strong, Says Cal Expert By CAROL, JOiNLS “The future of American Social ism does not depend on the spread of European ideas but on those ideas rooted in definitely North American conditions.” That’s what Dr. S. M. Lipset, pro fessor of sociology at the University of California, told an audience of students and townspeople in 207 Chapman Thursday night. Speaking on “Agrarian Social ism in Saskatchewan,” Dr. Lipset said that a certain kind of socialism is native to American farmers as well as to people in other areas of the world. Socialism in the United States and Canada, he said, is rooted chief ly in the wheat belt areas—North Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Kan sas, and Saskatchewan, Canada. This is contrary to the general be lief, Dr. Lipset pointed out, that the “conservative” farmer is the backbone of the free enterprise system. Invites Socialism The character of farming in the wheat belt invites Socialist trends, the speaker stated. Wheat is more vulnerable than any other crop in North America. Its price fluctuates with changing economic conditions. It is greatly affected by draughts and other adverse weather condi tions . Also, in the marketing of wheat, the farmer has come to distrust the “middleman” — railroads, banks, etc. When comparing the price he receives for his crop with the price the consumer pays, the farmer sees a need for eliminating the middle man— a definite socialist idea, Dr. Lipset said. Historical Outlining the history of agrarian socialism in the United States, the speaker pointed out that socialism group cooperaiiun m an euiupnoc, dates back to the days of American frontiersmen. “These frontiers men,” he said, “were rugged collec tivists, not the rugged individual ists we like to think of.” At present, the province of Sas katchewan is governed by a social ist party, the Cooperative Common wealth Federation. This developed out of a wheat farmer’s need for government control and price regu lation. The cooperative system, Dr. Lip set stated, is not radical in so far as the farmeVs ownership of his land is concerned. Principally, it eliminated the “non-producers”—■ middlemen—and gives the extra margin of profit to the farmer. Success Told A secret of the socialist govern ment’s success in Saskatchewan is that one out of every eight farmers hold official positions which can be filled only by farmers, Dr. Lipset said. In this way, a large number of people are forced into active parti cipation and interest in local poli tical affairs. However, interest in agrarian so cialism is declining, Dr. Lipset said. “This is usually the case -in periods of prosperity. But the movement rises again in the next swing of the business cycle.” Magazine Names Miss Orr to Forum One of fifty student members of the sixth annual college forum of Mademoiselle magazine is Dorothy Orr, University senior in business administration.
