In a recent address, Norman Thomas predicted that the next ten vears will see this nation under either Socialist or Fascist rule. Thomas said he violence and revolution and urged a peaceful drifting into Socialism. If it were possible, he said, he would advocate immediate confiscation of all industry and business and the vesting of title in the commonwealth. However, with this so difficult, he suggested the plan of "compensation plus taxation" for the commonwealth to follow in assuming own ership. Thomas' opinion seems to . be that our whole industrial, agricultural, political and financial system is a failure. lie is 'opposed to profits from private ownership of industry. He said his party, if given power, would strive to socialize banks, railroads, coal mines, power, and next would monopolize all influstry for the benefit of the commonwealth. Taxes would be revised the inheritance tax l)eing increased and allow ances made for farmers to be allowed to abandon their titles to property with a guaranty that they could remain on prop erty and work the farm. Commonwealth councils would .direct the new enterprises and furnish machinery and mate rials. It Is pretty hard for American citizens to understand that doctrine. The United States was- established as the land of freedom and encouragement of Individual Initiative and enterprise. It Is difficult to conceive of an American farmer, a "freeholder", being ready to turn his land In to the government for some allowances that might be made him, for the priv ilege of living on the property and "working the farm" for the conunon Iffealth, as b "tenant". Also It is difficult to Imagine the American farmer. 'free man, taking his orders from commonwealth councils and having machinery and materials handed out to him at the will of the counoll. At tho present tlmo the drive for socialization Is against tho big Indus tries, but the fact that the plan Includes the farm and public ownership of homes and the direction of the people by councils which would be 'nothing but a ruling class under a different guise, shows the necessity for studying this situation carefully. Tou can't have a nation hair socialistic 'and half individualistic any more than you can have It half slave and half free.,: If Industry Is soclnllzcd denied, agriculture will be socialized And the "old homestead," which i,as life aLid patriotic Ideals In America, PAVING THE WAY. FOR, 'CRIME The stringent anti-gun law now pending in Congress would make ownership of .small arms virtually inioossiblo for the honest citizen. And, like similar state laws, it would thus favor- the criminal, who violates all laws. It would assure him ithat his victims were unprotected. Violence, robbery and other crimes would be made immeasurably easier and safer. Hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and a legion of well known citizens, are against Inland stream pollution, for which Uiere la no federal regulation agency, ! Is regarded as the greatest menace to 'commercial flailing In the United States. Expert Advice On Your Paint Problems Beautiful new Pastel ' shades Semi-Gloss and Full-Gloss Enamels.

Judith opened her eyes. Dr. Kelly was bonding over her on one side. Norman was close, his arms sup porting her. Clla and Slim were standing before tho window. "Sorry.
