But Sir T homas Dale arrived a.pd abolished communism, put the country on a 11 free enterprise" basis, made each man till his own tract, required 2 ~ barrels of com as taxes, and allowed each the balance of his crop. For the first time, the colonies began to thrive. Yet some people - even after that sample of communism-want to try it here again-partially or completely.
