Meals are informal, served in the tradition of heary wholesome food. jSr May we suggest to our readers that here would be a most unique vacation. Not a vacation of laziness but one of inspiration. The opportunity to mix with some of the top minds of our generation. A chance to study the subject of liberty at the exclusion of all else. There are no snap courses at the school.

Where I Stand (Continued from Pg. 1; Col. 4) The British Fabian Socialists in their tract No 127 frankly stated: "To the Socialists, the best government is that which spends the most money. THE COMMUNISTS are helping to build Socialism in this country. They expect to produce economic collapse which will deliver us into their hands. For 26 out of the last 31 years, our federal government has failed to live within its income. Included among the new socialist spending is federal aid to education. Why should the federal government go further into debt for schools when bur federal debt is already 30 times as high as the debt of all state governments combined? Over 4 billions of dollars will be spent on foreign aid for so cialistic countries although we already have a bigger debt than ail of their debts combined. You may ask how the Communists can be successful in electing Socialists to.office and putting over Socialism on the United States when Communists amount to such a small number of people? THE COMMUNISTS have power- ful allies assisting their program. For example, the Socialists, the Americans for Democratic Action, publish voting records of our congressmen showing how they vote on socialistic measures which the A.D.A. calls liberal. Along the same lines are similar voting records published by COPE, the Committee on Political Education, the These political arm of the AFL-CICOPE Voting Records call good conconservative, economy-minde- d anti-labif they vote gressmen O. or against spending measures that would lead us into Socialism. THIS IS NOT to say that all unions are communistic. Certainly the vast majority of union members are loyal Americans and many of the union leaders are also good Americans, but among the political action committees appointed by the union bosses, there must be communist influence - otherwise, why would the Communist newspaper, THE WORKER publish the legissoclative program of the AFL-CIwith the in full accord ialistic and objectives of the Communist Party in the U.S.? IF THE COMMUNISTS can influence the political action of organized labor, they have tapped powerful funds for political action that exceed the combined funds of the Democrat and Republican parties! What can we do about it? The problem of every American today is to keep from being used by the Communists to help create a Soviet America. EVERY AMERICAN should know the communist plans and be aware of their socialist objectives. He should also warn members of his club or other organizations to help remove public apathy and disinterest. America still has a chance to protect herself if we can awaken people who are asleep at the switch!
