Beginning with the introduction
that subsequented the American
Revolution there was a group of
people who sought to prevent es-
' tablishment of the government we
now have This particular group
of people was called Tory Since
the day this Tory-group was
thwarted in its economic and po-
litical intolerances since it sougnt
to develop the same stratification
of human kind that then existed
in England and still exists since
it has engaged in thousands of
economic intrigues to gain control
of the political government of this
g country it has voiced its contempt
" 4 of every other group that sought
to reform the economic scheme
that has been economically unfair
to the average American citizen
':
The unfairness of the orthodox
American system of economy as
the result of its unfairness has
been upon the people for the past
4o nine years has been defended by
the Macfaddens of the nation since
It emerged as an infant Republic
L There are persons groups and
societies of course that would
41 willingly overturn our political
government and do so without
having a better form to put in
its place and reference is made
to the past few years and the
present day in which the savage-
ness of a certain stratum in our
reactionary political leadership
has sought by any means at its
command to destroy free speech
free press and free assembly It
a is the same group persons or so-
cieties that resort to National
Guard arms to protect the inter-
ests of Tory employers who drag
out the passe interpretation of the
Bill of Rights to exhibit as Norm
No 1 to prove that labor is still
a commodity to be sold to the
lowest bidder
The unfairness of the reaction-
aryism that has run amok in
America during the last few years
has given rise to au i un-Ainericati
suoversive doctrine that the Dies
Committee has uncovered or sup-
poseu to have from testimony of
whose veracity has been
quetionable and whose motives
‘4 ha e been ulterior
The American plutocracy has
been able prior to the present
Roosevelt Administration and
without destroying the rights and
privileges of a free ballot box to
capture control of the American
political machinery financial eco-
nomical military and commercial
13 through intrigues so far be-
yond the comprehension of the
4 average citizen that the deed was
done before the reasons for doing
it were intelligently able to infilter
the average mind This scheme of
( economy is now being upheld by
the reactionaries and the Tories
and the Macfaddens of the land
But it is certainly not the democ-
racy that Washington Jefferson
Jackson Lincoln and the two
Roosevelts battled to preserve Its
sequences are were and contem-
plated to be Plutocratic which
4
Hitler and Mussolini term National
Socialism and Stalin calls Com-
munism The reactionaries call it
Traditional Americanism But it
is not traditional Americanism it
It is autocratic plutocracy in spite of
hell and high water or in any
language

verthrowing the Government
Unfairness of the Orthodox
American System has Been
Defemled By the Macfad-
dens of the Nation Since It
Emerged As an Infant Republic
By ALBERF VOSE
BCIILLLLL dcauuen in his lat-
est weekly lament published in
his "LIBERTY" magazine says
"There are groups of people in tnis
country at this time who are try-
ing to overthrow this government
by any means in their power re-
gardless of their nature"
Now I wonder whose "nature?"
Is it the "nature" of the people
who are trying to overthrow this
government or the "nature" of
the means by which the govern-
ment is to be overthrown? Any-
way one has at least a right to
take either meaning that seems
to fit his own slant of matters in
general
I
It is true that we have devel-
oped the machinery of production
so fast and so plutocratically if
you please that the nation stands
shivering under the load of ex-
cesses of every kind excess of
money and credit frozen assets
which the plutocracy controling

Democracy -
There is no real American who
would trade his liberties for regi-
mentations For thousands of
years the European common
classes have been ruled by Chief-
tians Feudal lords Kings and
Dictators Their so-called democ-
racies are forms of plutocracy
The people do not know how to
appreciate democracy for it is
something that must be learned
not something to be purchased at
the 5 and 10 But the European
has never had a chance to learn
how to act under a democratic
form of political government such
as we enjoy in America For this
reason alone they tolerate a die-
tatot ' And out of all the noise being
made about the encroachments of
Communism the inroads of Fas-
cism the intrigues of subversive
activities the average American
citizen is fast recognizing the fact
that he has been regimented in
every phase of his economic ac-
tivity by the existing plutocratic
regime that has sought to over-
throw the Jeffersonian democracy
upon which the nation was
erected Spies? Have we not them
now in business government Fi n d
home put there by eavesdropping
plutocrats who seek to ascertain
the thoughts of American labor?
It is needless to point to the Eu-
ropean as being the only victim
of this spy system
Our commercial status is al-
ready warped by plutocratic
machiavelian inroads We have
outdistanced all nations in the
ruthless exploitation of natural
resources and human ingenuity
Because we have done this under
the auspices of uncontrolled plu-
tocracy the plutocrat signifies his
desire to keep on even though
the natural resources are wasted
and destroyed and the human in-
genuity that made the plutocracy
a plutocratic misery for millions
of citizens tends to destroy a na-

tance has come to life within the
environments of this country"
says Maefadden Which is all quite
true but what of it? Bragging
about what our uncontrolled pluto-
cratic economy has done isn't
holding up to the light of intelli-
gence what it has not done
It has not done that humanitar-
ian thing most needed in Any
country that lays claim to being
civilized It has not taken into
account the glaring facts that its
regime has forced half the agri-
cultural lands into the locker of
plutocrats who have been able to
railroad through Congress and
legislatures such inhuman and un-
democratic laws as relentless fore-
closures irrespective of calami-
ties over which the mortgagor had
no control It has refused point
blank to assume responsibility for
mass unemployment for stagna-
tion of liquid cash and potential
credit for an unbalanced national
budget for economic chaos It
has inexcusably denied that it has
run a monopoly on freedom of
speech freedom of the press and
freedom of assembly It denies
the fact that it has through its
systematic development of the
mass-production program definite-
ly and permanently regimented
every working person in America
It denies the outstanding facts
that it has sought by every lillONNI1
means to thwart the democratic
prerogative of the American peo-
ple who have expressed that pre-
rogative time and again at the
polls It denies the fact that
through its neglect of the se-
quences of Capitalism it advanced
the cause of Communism PLR-
cism and dictatorships It denies
the fact that its regime of intol-
erance toward organized labor and
organized society is overthrowing
this government inch by inch
