They will get that taste through their pay envelopes and in their costs of doing business as social security rates rise from one percent to one and a half percent.

This means that wage earners will sec another half-percent of their wages evaporate into thin air before they even see this money. For employers it means another half-percent of their total payroll hiked on to their costs. The federal government expects that in the course of the first year under the new rates, social security contributions will rise by approximately $700,000,000.

Subscribers have just been sent the May Issue. The readers learned from reading the magazine in September that a session of the history and philosophy division of the U.S.S.R. academy of sciences was held at the beginning of March. "The magazine "Voprosy Istorti should appear three times a year. The year 1949 is nearing its end, yet not a single 1949 issue has appeared yet." The Soviet critics directed caustic words of criticism also to magazines in the field of arts, music and drama.

The newspapers, too, are berated for various defects. i What seems to bother the Soviet critics so much is that newspapers do not display Initiative or originality. It appears also jthat the editors, when they do exercise Initiative, pat themselves on the back too much.

Then you are eligible for the pittance that the government doles out.

We now want everything handed to us 'on a silver platter." For instance, it is now more or less taken for granted by most people that our government should guarantee full employment.

Well, fun employment is desirable all right there is no question about that but not at the price of individual freedom. We should remember that there was full employment in Germany under Hitler, there was full employment in Italy under Mussolini, and there is no doubt full employment now in Russia under Stalin but where was, and where Is. the freedom in those countries? We have now accepted the principle, in this "land of the free," of legislating wages; we have increased the minimum wage, by act of the recent Congress, to 75 cents per hour. Of course, everyone is entitled to a living wage if he earns it Most of us want a good deal more than a "living wage" and are entitled to that, too. if we earn it.

To give it must get and the only place it can get is from the people to whom it gives. And in the, process of getting from the people and then giving, there is a loss to the people in maintaining the bureaucracy of government that is always created when government starts taking over the job of caring for individuals. The "brave, new world" which the social dreamers like to comtemplate and which they are in the process of inflicting upon this nation today, is neither brave nor is it new.

It is the same shopworn scheme that has been tried by one nation after another down through the ages of history with the same result. It has been given a new dress, but basically it is no different than all the other socialistic experiments that have met with abject failure.

Some of you remember only a few decades ago. when money was not plentiful, and when Christmas tree ornaments could not be had in great abundance, how rosy cranberries were strung on long strings to deck the tree while flakey popcorn was likewise strung up for the same purpose. Instead of the electric lights there were occasional candles. Yet we were just as happy as the children today: perhaps more so, because we put some of our COLONEL BROWARD SAYS: inaction, with love as a bonus? No one will question the beauty of his theories, but if Mr. Humbert will tell us exactly what he believes Christ would in clearmt language have counseled America to do in the First, Second, and Cold wars, we would have real enlightenment instead of meaningless theory.

As I am traveling, I shall not have an opportunity to see your excellent paper again for some weeks. But if Mr. Humbert replies in his truly masterly prose, I hope that somehow a copy may find its way to Box 417, of those promises he made that his fellow man, under the control of a central government. As long as a man has pride in himself and in his own ability to take care of himself and his loved ones, he will have nothing to do with socialism. But if a man's ability to take care of himself is taken away, he will have no recourse but to turn to socialism.

The American people are losing their ability to take care of themselves. They are losing it because the costs of creeping socialism are biting deeply into the resources they must use to stand on their own feet. The government is forever taking more and leaving less and the ultimate will be when the government takes all and gives back only what it wants to give.
