Neither the wage earner nor the employers of this country con stand further tax ation. It is time to begin restoring individual independence, instead of promoting more schemes to foster individual dependence.” Only The Free Eat Well "Some of our more advanced thinkers,” says the Wall Street Journal, "have had the effrontery to put into so many words a statement to the effect that 'freedom is all right but you can’t eat it.’ "Well, perhaps you can’t eat freedom. But note one thing. People who do not have freedom are likely not to eat.” Proof of the latter statement becomes more evident in the United States each day. Due to wartime restrictions, the people of our country have given up many of their freedoms, a principal one being the right fo produce and sell. We have accepted wartime rationing and price control as essential to the distribution of existing supplies. But as we have gaven up our freedom to produce, supplies have dwindled until the United States to day faces acute shortages of the essentials of life. All the alibis that are offered in the name of "anti-inflation”, will not supply the nation's needs when freedom to produce and sell is gone.
