Babson Says Socialism
Today Is A Cruel Hoax
By ROGER BABSON
New York, Sept. 10.—Of the three
top leaders of British Socialism in
recent years, only one is in office
today. Mr. Attlee still heads the
Labour Government of Great Brit
ain, but is plagued
with a duodenal
ulcer which has
already hospital
ized him. This ul
cer could conceiv
ably force him to
follow h i s former
right hand man,
Sir Stafford Cripps,
into retirement.
Sir Stafford was in
M»ger w. Babtoi several ways the
brightest luminary in the British
Labour movement; an eminent law-
year, and an intellectual of the first
magnitude. A few months back he
had to retire as Chancellor of the
Exchequer for reasons of health.
He suffers from colitis. Early this
year the third man in the Labour
Government, Emset Bevin, suffered
an illness that forced him to retire
as Foreign Secretary. Shortly there
after he died at the age of 70.
I am not exulting over casualties
among top-ranking British Social
ists. I consider Attlee. Cripps and
Bevin men of the highest integrity
and the noblest intentions. Were
they rogues paying lip service to
Socialism, in ostler to further per
sonal ambition, all three might now
be in good health, riding high on
the road to more power! At least,
this is what I learn here in New
York.
A Cruel Hoax
To my way of thinking Socialism!
as set up today constitutes a cruel
boas. Socialists discover that many
evils can be traced beck to individ
ual private greed This is true. But
the Socialists conclude, all too
quickly, that private greed or pri
vate enterprise, should bo outlawed.
They then nationalise the big pri
vate enterprises and turn them over
to the government They "sink the
ship to lid it of rata But the hoax
M that the coming of Socialism to
d finally the |
Only individual
for "•uo-
incentive
provides the spark and fuel of hu
man endeavor.
When honest Socialists, like the
big three of England’s Labour
movement, gain control of the gov
ernment, they discover that the no
ble doctrines to which they have
dedicated their lives do not work
out as expected. Socialism, unfor
tunately, distributes poverty, not
riches.
Tragedy of Honest Socialists
An honest Socialist in power soon
finds himself experiencing an in
tense inner struggle — the struggle
between loyalty to socialism and
the realization that individual in
centive must be liberated if the
people are to enjoy maximum pros
perity. There are two possible out
comes of such an inner struggle
within the heart of the honest So
cialist, either a nervous breakdown
or a desertion of Socialism. Attlee
and Cripps are honest Socialists
and so was Bevin; but Bevin has
died and Attlee and Cripps have
ended up with poor health ap
proaching a nervous breakdown.
They will not, however, surrender
their Socialism, although they see
only collapse or a dictatorship
ahead.
Mussolini was an aggressive So
cialist in early life; but as he rose
to power he became an undisguised
autocrat He did not permit the fal
lacies of Socialism to rum his
health! He switched to personal
autocracy and then went back to
antiquity to find an ethical sound
ing name for It, calling it “Fas
cism." Hitler paid Up service to
Socialism by calling his autocracy
“National Socialism “

$4,125,642,000.
Incidentally, only four of the six

enough textile goods to be repre

While attempting to lift a heavy
can of oil, he strained his back to
the extent that the pain which fol
lowed rendered him practically
helpless. He was instructed to stay
in bed, but even ten days complete
rest failed to correct or improve his
condition.
. He was then advised that he
would not be able to work again
for the first time since 1946, Byrd
said the payroll totaled $7,719,076,-
000 in the past fiscal year ended
last June 30. This was an increase
of $1,114,106,000 or 17 per cent over
fiscal 1950.
Employment increased 17,198
during July, bringing the total to
2,500,889, Byrd added in the
monthly review of the Senate-
House committee on reduction of
non-essential federal spending.
The Virginian is chairman of this
group.
Civilian employment in the ex
ecutive branch of the government
reached a peak of 3.7 million dur
ing World War II.
