Arkatcut Liberalism S.tck in Amarica's colonial day* before the Revolutionary war when everybody was underprivileged, there were only three freedoms. Everybody had a right to work hard, save as much as he could of his earnings and use his head as profitably as possible in business. If you have a taste for long words you might call the three freedoms industry, frugality and Ingenuity. Politics in those days were all full of rich-man vs. poor-man problems. same as now. They were, to be sure, better decorated with pretty English but the issues were about the same: What will we have to work with? If we do well, how much can we keep, and how much will be taken by the government? Government in those days was the English king, of course. Lovers of Freedom People who thought the king ought to show more liberality called themselves liberals. In theory the king owned the land. In reality he held a tight rein over his subjects. He taxed them plenty and his subsidized buying concern paid little enough for what they produced. A liberal, in those days, was a man who wanted government to loosen up a bit in favor of the individual. Affairs of the people were not changed very much by the Revolution. Colonies changed into states and new issues arose but still there was an over-all government. In this over-all government were people who had power-lust, or else feared to trust the common people with vital decisions. Opposed to these power-hungry folk were the liberals, still plugging for personal liberty. Liberals Won Oat The liberals were right. Time has proved beyond a doubt that people act better and live better and make more progress materially and spiritually when they have more freedom. Since the United States became a first-class power in record time, the world's wealthiest and happieat people, the word "liberal" has been popular here. A liberal, to us, is one who wants the individual to be free. Through the same historic periods America has had reactionaries. They -were the people, in colonial days, who wanted the king to rule them. After the Revolution, the same element wanted an iron-rod rule in Washington?something like a dictator. Small wonder that reactionaries have always been unpopular in America, people who howl against the system and try to grab power for themselves. Try to Swap Labels Reactionaries in America today are smart. They have learned one lesson well. They are very sure of one thing: they have a bad name. They know also that the word "liberal" is an asset Accordingly they have adopted the term "liberalism" and call lfte*w?lt*? liberals. This is the very same political element that supports more government rules and less liberty for Individuals. ?/ ?o* Him mirmimgy, uua poutleal atom ant has bagun to call pao> pla raaottonariaa who hold prartaa 9 la tha Ubaral taaohtnga of Thomas Jaffarson.
