Show January 8, 1976 The Utah Independent Page 3 The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand CLICHES OF SOCIALISM When a devotee of private property, free market, limited government principles states his position, he is inevitably confronted with a barrage of socialistic cliches. Failure to answer these has effectively silenced many a spokesman for freedom. Here are suggested answers to some of the most persistent of the Cliches of Socialism." These are not the only answers or even the best possible answers; but they may help you or others to develop better explanations of the ideas on liberty that are the only effective displacement for the empty promises of socialism. Foundation Education, Economic for Inc., Irvington-on-Hudso- n, New York CLICHE The free market ignores the poor. Once an activity has been socialized for a spell, nearly everyone will concede that thats the way it should be. Without socialized education, how would the poor get their schooling? Without the socialized post office, how would farmers receive their mail except at great expense? Without social security, the aged would end their years in poverty! If power and light were not socialized, consider the plight of the poor families in the Tennessee Valley! Agreement with the idea of state absolutism- follows - socialization, appallingly. Why? One does not have to dig very deep for the answer. Once an activity has been socialized, it is impossible to point out, by concrete example, how men in a free market could better conduct it. How, for instance, can one compare a socialized post office with private postal delivery when the latter has been outlawed? Its something like trying to explain to a people accustomed only to darkness how things would appear were there light. One can only resort to imaginative construction. To illustrate the. dilemma: During recent years, men in free and willing exchange (the free market) have discovered how to deliver the human voice around the of a earth in one twenty-sevendeliver an how to event, second; like a ball game, into everyones living room, in color and in motion, at the time it is going on; how to deliver 1 1 5 people from Los Angeles to Baltimore in 3 hours and 19 minutes; how to deliver gas from a hole in Texas to a range in New York at low cost and without subsidy;' how to deliver 64 ounces of oil from the Persian Gulf to our Eastern Seaboard more than half-wa- y around the earth for less money than government will letter across deliver a the street in ones home town. Yet, such commonplace free market phenomena as these, in the field of delivery, fail to convince most people that uthe post could be left to free market delivery without causing many people to suffer. th one-oun- ce Now, then, resort to imagination: Imagine that our federal government, at its very inception, had issued an edict to the effect that all boys and girls, from birth to adulthood, were to receive shoes and stockings from the federal government for free. Next, imagine that this practice of for free" shoes and stockings had been going for lo, these 184 years! Lastly, imagine one of ourcontem-Continuf- d on page 4 They Gave It Away are at war!

Soviet Russia and Communist China, to the peak of world power as a direct and proximate result of the effort, ingenuity and support of the United States of America. How has the best informed nation on earth been induced to support enemies dedicated to its destruction? The answer lies in the differences in the dimensions of warfare. In the three conventional dimensions, Land, Sea and Air, we have been supreme. The selfless devotion of the American Fighting Man, dedicated to Duty, Honor, Country; and the productive genius of the American have people always produced the first prize of warfare.. VICTORY; until the Liberalites captured control of our government, and left Korea festering in a stalemate. In the sophisticated and shadowy fourth dimension, however, performed we have as children, unaware, of the Objectives, Strategies and Tactics implemented against us. In the conventional dimensions, the Objective is: To Destroy the Enemy and His Will to Fight. In the Fourth Dimension, the Objective is: To Destroy the Will to Enemy Fight.. and the will then cooperate in his own destruction. Since the latter part of War his II . this him in Objective the disastrous conference of Teheran with: 1 have a hunch Stalin doesnt want anytying but security for his country, and I think if I give him everything I possibly can, and ask nothing in return, (noblesse oblige) he wont try to annex anything and will work for a world democracy and peace.

PRESIDENT, LET HIM QUIT1 Captain Joe H. Ferguson Labor Secretary Dunlop Threatens To Resign Our glorious leaders in Congress recently passed a piece of nefarious legislation which would have wreaked havoc with the entire economy in general and the construction industry in particular if it had been implemented. The bill, commonly known as the Common Situs Picketing Bill, would have given power to any union which went oh strike to 'shut down the entire jobsite. In other words, a handful of workers of one union could stop work on a project involving hundreds or thousands of workers. And this could occur even though the demands of the small group of one union might be exorbitant and ridiculous. One can easily visualize the threat to the welfare of not only all workers in the construction industry but to the entire economy as well. Fortunately, President Ford vetoed the bill When the Czar of Labor, John T. Dunlop, learned of the veto, he was so upset that he threatened to resign. He even left Washington in a huff and went to his home in Cambridge, Mass, for two weeks to think about resignation. A Dunlop associate has said that the labor secretary intends to quit. WHO NEEDS DUNLOP? Ford learned of Dunlops threatened resignation,, attempted to persuade him to not resign. A White House aid released a statement saying that, The President considers John Dunlop to be an extremely valuable member of his administration and certainly hopes that he does not resign.... The question the Presidents statement must bring to everyones mind y is, Valuable to whom? Valuable to the bosses of the labor unions, perhaps, but certainly not to the citizens of America. Who needs a secretary of labor who is so fanatically aligned with the labor bosses that he When President power-hungr- favors laws which would prove seriously detrimental to the welfare "of the entire nation? Mr.. President, please do the people of the United ' States a favor. Call his bluff. We dont need him. Let him resign. You might never have a better opportunity. . ally,-Chian- Kai-she- was k depicted as guy.. tyrant a the bad and a grafter. Other good guy Uncle Joe images were: Stalin, the friend of the Nikita people; Krushchev, who was filled with the spirit of Camp and David; Fidel, the Robinhood of Cuba. Among the bad guys were found: General an who arrogant Militarist resisted a Korean stalemate; Senator Joseph McCarthy, a ruthless witch hunter who was concerned that the U.S., as the No. 1 Target of Douglas the McArthur, most effective infiltrating enemy in history had caught only one infiltrator.. Senator Barry i Goldwater was made into a trigger-happ- y crackpot who would bomb North Vietnam. One of the Liberalite pundits said of General McArthur: War is too dangerous to entrust to the Generals. My answer is: Peace is too precious to entrust to the striped pants pansies in the State Department, who have an unbroken record of giving it away. Clyde J. Watts Brig. Gen.
