Show Utah State LOOKING ADEAD FOUR vOtGeooell 111 ii BUCATKM ninmifii It is disturbing to have a government official in Washington, a person of sober mind and moderate viewpoint, tell you that the United States is drifting into Socialism and that the drift will not be halted. This happened to me in recent days. The person with the gloomy outlook cannot simply be laughed off. He has had intimate experience with all levels of government and, to some extent at least, direct contact with many segments of the public. "Our people," he said to me, "have been infected with the 'Simmies.' It is a fatal disease once it takes root in a nation. When the government starts giving something to people they get accustomed to it quickly. They don't want to give it up. They forget about sound principles and the value of individual opportunity; and ultimately they lose their selfreliance. Then they become partial or total dependents. No government can carry a big load of dependents without gathering to itself great power over the economic and finally the social processes. And a that's what Socialism is the dominating government people." Many Want Gifts These are disturbing observations. But when I had left Washington behind and began to analyze my friend's opinions and the circumstances that helped form them my spirits were lifted somewhat. At the center of gov-ernment in Washington he sees a constant stream of people from all corners of the nation coming with their hands out, asking for something. And under this heavy pressure he sees political weakening, sound governmental and economic principles being diluted. He sees so much of this that he feels it expresses the character and the attitude of the whole population. With all due respect to my friend, I think there is still hope for America's future. Only a small percentage of our people are running to Washington with their hands outstretched; and they do not, I feel, represent the great body of our population. Yet certainly the old "something for nothing" siren's song with which tinhorn politicians and demagogues have risen to power and crushed the ages people through-ou- t is a continuing and urgent danger. Understanding Needed There is one certain antidote to Socialism. No people who clearly understand what Socialism is and are familiar with its unbroken record of failures throughout history would adopt it with their eyes open even when served up insidiously bit by bit. Thus the job for America is to give authenticity, prestige and widest distrubution to the facts about Socialism, Communism and our American way of life. The need for the distribution of the educational facts ought to be proclaimed repeatedly by leaders of our government in Washington and at the state capitols, by people active in the leadership of our two political parties, by business and em ployee organizations, patriotic and other service clubs; and, above all, by the school people of our nation. President Eisenhower has stated that our resistance to Communism cannot be strong unless our people understand our freedom structure in America. But there hasn't been enough echoing of this important statement among other responsible leaders In our political, economic and educational institutions.
