Will they inherit socialism ?
You Wouldn’t want to leave a socialistic
America to your children. Most Americans
wouldn’t.
But you may —without realizing it. For
socialism wears many false faces. You can’t
always tell it at a glance.
It’s socialism, for example, when the fed-
eral government takes over for keeps the
rights and responsibilities of its citizens on
any pretext.
Today in America, there are people who
would like to see an all-powerful federal
government own and operate our railroads,
our medical profession, our electric light
and power companies and other businesses
and services. Perhaps they’re not all social-
ists, but what they suggest is socialism —
even though they never call it that.
It’s socialism when the government steps
into and takes over a business or industry.
Zf’s socialism when people urge you to give
up the freedom to run your own life and
let the government run it for you.
And they’ll have their way unless you act
now. Here’s what yon can do: Start think-
ing of your future and your children’s. Ex-
ercise your rights as a citizen. Discuss this
danger with your friends aAd neighbors.
And above all, learn to recognize socialism
behind the many false faces it wears.
