WEALTH IS ONLY SUCH
WHEN IT CAN PRODUCE '
HENRY FORD is reputed to be
worth close to a billion dollars, aj
expressed in money. That would bW
more money than there is in aO
America if it were really money,
which it is not.
The wealth of which Mr. Ford is
now custodian is represented by
land, factory buildings, machines,
materials and products. If the at
tempt were made to divide that
wealth, even among only those who
directly profit from it?the Ford em
ployees?it would mean one man
would get a few feet of land, an
other some brick, another part of s
machine. Such wealth to <ny one
man would be useless. It would not
produce. It would not provide a
livelihood for him and his family,
absolutely not.
It is only when wealth is congre
gated that it will produce, that it
will provide. Wealth when congre
gated in the hands of one or a group
of men does not belong to them.
They are merely custodians. Mr.
Ford, like all others, will in time
pass away. When he does, he can
not take with him what he today
controls. It is a part of our national
wealth. From it thousands of peo
ple receive a week by week benefit.
All Mr. Ford can do is to pass that
wealth, of which he is today the
custodian, along to others to direct
and to make work for the nation.
We cannot enrich ourselves as in
dividuals by a destruction of wealth,
and an attempt at an equal distribu
tion between all of us means destruc
tion. We can only profit by leaving
its operations in the hands of those
who have demonstrated their ability
to make it produce. It is from pro
duction that we derive our individu
al benefits, our week by week com
pensation, our daily bread. And in
no other way.
LET NORMAN THOMAS
MAKE IT PLAIN
DR. VIRGIL JORDON, president
of the national Industrial conference
board, told members of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce thai
socialism .has come to the United
States to stay, and says he believes
it will be the Norman Thomas type
of socialism. I do not know Just
what the Norman Thomas type of
socialism may be. Do you? Most of
us do not. <
Is it the type which proposes to
divide all the wealth or only cer
tain parts of it?
Is it the type which would have
the government operate the business
of the nation and if so, would it be
all business or only certain lines, or
of a certain size?
Is it the type which would give
everyone a liberal allowance on
which to live whether or not he
worked for it, and if so, where are
we to get the money?
There are other proposals I have it
heard made by people who claim to
be followers of Norman Thomas so
cialism.
The fact is, I have read much oi
what Mr. Thomas has written and
spoken, but I have never Been just
sure of what it all means. Now if
we are to have his type of socialism
as a steady diet, will he please ex
press it all in primer form so we .
may understand the new rules.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
A COUNTRY COMMUNITY
A COLLEGE GROUP asked if 1
could describe a country communi
ty. My answer was:
"A number of homes, schools,
churches and a bank, built around a
number of stores and other business
places. Take the stores and busi
ness places away and the schools,
churches, bank and homes will soon
disappear."
That is true of your town. It is
the stores which make it a market
place, and it is as a market place
that it survives.
Stores make real estate values
possible. The taxes they pay help
materially in supporting the schools.
The contributions of merchants aid
in supporting the churches. They
make the maintenance of the bank
' possible. Directly they make the
town a market place. Indirectly they
maintain it as a social and cultural
center for people of the town and
surrounding farms. ?
Nearness to a market place, to a
social and cultural center, aids in
making farm values.
Stores and business places make
the town possible. From every self
ish viewpoint it is desirable to keep
them operating and the more there
are, the better market place your
town will be.

'ONE BIG UNION'
IN RUSSIA, GERMANY, ITALY
and all other "ism" countries of
Europe and Asia, strikes are pro
hibited. Men are told what Jobs they
will bave, how long they win work
and what they will receive.
Is that what we are coming to in
America?
I If that is what we get, it win at
i least have one advantage. It win
