Show LIVE EDITORIALS The Old Machine Is Stalling In 1931 one of the abjest minds in the world, H. G. Wells said: "The economic machine is stalling in every country in the world. The decline is going on under our eyes. The prophet must say what he sees. To me it is as if I was watching watch-ing a dark curtain fall steadily.fold after fold.across the bright spectacle of hope with which the century opened." His words are prophetic and time has but added truth to their meaning. The warring nations do not realize what they are doing. If they had any vision they would be able to see that this war and the class hatreds that go with it, is positively destroying civilization as people have known it. And as a natural consequence conse-quence of the fall of ci llization the economic or capitalistic system will perish with it. |
