The “SH*re-the-WeaIth” Plan in
Russia.
plw, of
v a ter-
Americans who are tempted to fol
low “Hooey" Long’s preaching and
advocate a “share-the-weahh” plan in
Amerioa would: do well to acquaint
themselves with cond!ition g in Russia,
which has followed such a course for
the past 18 years.
In an addres a in New York City a
few days ago, Robert L. Ripl
“Believe It or Not" fame, drew
TiWe picture of life in that country of
the Communists, pointing out that
while the Russian leaders have confis
cated a total of 40 'bUlion g of dollars
under the guise of sharing the wealth,
80,000,000 Russians have starved to
death—four million in 1932 in the
Ukraine, the one-time "granary of the
world”—and other millions face the
same ghastly fate. He says in part:
“Professor L. Tarassevich, noted
Russian sociologist, in an official re
port to the League of Nations, says
that 30,000,000 Russians have starved
V to death since the country turned com
munistic. This astounding figure is
substatiated by Fridihjof Nansen,
head of the world organization of the
Red Cross and delegate of the League
of Nations to Russia.
“Such are the conditions existing
Aoday in the ‘Communistic paradftse*
which has practiced for eighteen years
a ‘share-the-wealth’ plan such as ad
vocated by some of our political ‘cure-
alls.’
“In 1917 the Communislg seized-the
wealth of Russia. They ‘liquidated’
capitalism and destroyed the educated
classes. They murdered! the rich—
stole their wealth—seized all the gold,
ailver and precious stones—and con
fiscated all private property of every
description. They took 500 million dol
lars in gold) from the national treasury
(the largest stock of gold* in the world
«t that time). They grabbed another
• 60 millions in gold from Rumania.
They confiscated! 800 millions in Ameri
can property.
“They destroyed ail religion and
looted the churches, taking all the
gold, tapestries, priceless'^jaintings
and precicus stones valued a£ 20 bil
lions of dollars—all in all, a grand- to
tal of 40 billions of dollar s was con
fiscated from the people.
“In addition they utterly repudiated
•bout 11 billions of dollars in loans
frftm France, England, Belgium and
the United States."
“Then,” he continues, “after wp-
propriating all the conceivable wealth
in Russia in the gigantic scheme of
‘sharing-the-wealth,’ believe it or not,
there is not a single workingman in
the Soviet Union today who owns an
automobile—or his own home—or has
5,000 rubles in the bank—as per the
formula of our political demagogues.
“The Russian ‘pied pipers’ if 1917
led the people on with promises of
liberty, prosperity and equal division
of wealth. Yet today—after eigh
teen ycar g of Commuism—there is ut
terly no wealth, no liberty, and! in
stead of prosperity they have starva
tion."
Conditions are much worse than un
iter the rule of the czars, Mr. Ripley
-says, and a thousand time s more peo
ple are now being exiled to Siberia
than under the old regime. As for
pensonfd liberty, read this:
“His (the workingman’s) freedom
«f movement is denied him. He can’t
from one village to another. He
^•n't quit hi g job. He can’t take a
day off. Without warning, he is lia
ble to be arrested, torn from his fami-
Ijr, herdied into a freight car and sent
iteouaands of miles away, where he is
forced to labor under inhuman condi
tions in some concentration camp of
Northern Russia.". f
, Mr. Ripley concludes his indictment
wf Communism ami “share-the-wealth"
g>kns as follows:
“Yes, I've mingled with the peoples
<4 178 different countries'of the world
Ya my travels and I know that despite
depression—which i 8 world-wide—
United States still has more pros-
; more freedom, more tolerance
more happiness than any other
in the world.

Emergency Teachers
Assist With Program
L
Are Devoting a Great Deal of Time to
Rural Rehabilitation in
This State.
Emergency agricultural teachers
employed by the South Caro
lina ERA and working under the
supervision of vocational agricultural
teachers sejected by the Static Depart
ment of Education, are devoting a
great deal of their time to the rural
rehabiliation program throughout
the State, according do B. F. Owens,
BainweM County administrator.
Additional evening schoolS*lre held
by the emergency teachers for re
habilitation clients and other farmers
within the patronage area of their
respective schools. The emergency
•teachers follow the evening classes
with visits to rehabilitation clients
where they are shown how to get the
best results from agricultural pur
suits. Tehy may help to cull the
client’s chickens. They may showifatm
how to terrace his land. They may
aid him in pruning his fruit trees.
They may assist in innumerable other
problems which the client wishes to be
solved.
In each county the rural rehabilf?
tation division has a county supervis
or, who i a administratively responai-
ble to the county relief acAninis'tcation.
The work of the emergency teachers
is especially helpful to these county
supervisors as they are able to assist
in carrying out details which the
supervisors do not have time to do.
The vocational agricultural teacher s
selected to direct the work of the
emergency agricultural instructors are
very enthusiastic over the work being
accomplished by the ERA teachers.
Usually the agricultural teacher s meet
wkh the emergency teachers twice a
month to discuss their work. Each
emergency teacher is required to for
ward a daily report giving the name
of the client visited, the work that ia
accomplished, the general attitude of
the client, the manner in which the
client receives the instructions and
other data.
^.Htfiment against the proposed law is
fallacious.
Our citizens ^would' promptly oust
a teacher who advocates disobedience
| or irreligion, who is immoral or who
ha g a loathsome or contagious dis
ease.
Are they willing that the un-Ameri-
ean doctrines of Communism and its
handmaiden, Atheism, be taught their
children? Would they not rather be
assured that their children are being
taught by loyal Aipeftcan citizens ’
proud of their birthright and anxious
to assert it ?

Editor, The People-Sentinel:
I understand that some teacher g in
the tax-supported schools of this State
are objecting to the passage of a bill
requiring them to take an oath of al
legiance to the Constitution of the
United Stated and the State.
Why should an innocent man ob
ject to proper search? Why should a
loyal citizen refuse to assert his afl-
legian^e to his government? Could
it be that he is ashamed) to be known
as a loyal American ? Is not the- pro
test actuated by propaganda dissemin
ated by groups to whom Americanism
is repugnant?,
The punitive power g of law are di
rected at the offender ONLY. The
law-abiding citizen is not embarrassed

or hampered by just laws.
The Teacher’s Oath Bill proposes a
just law, for it i s designed to protect
our children from seditious teachings
and subversive influences during the
most impressionable years of their
lives. It works no hardships on loyal
teachers.
It is not for the teachers to protest.
The Governor, the members of the
General Assembly and other public
servants are required to take an oath
to support the Constitution. Why not
teachers? They atfp'jJtrWtc servants,
paid by our taxes ft is rather for the
voters of this commonwealth to say
whether the proposed h»w constitutes
a protection for their children or is an
infringement on free speech. The pro
testers invoke the constitutional right
of free speech in protesting against
being required to swear allegiance to
the Constitution. Inconsistent, to say
the least. _
The U. S. Supreme Court on June
8, 1925, in the case of Benjamin Git-
low, said, “It (Freedom of Speech)
does not protect publications or teach
ings which tend! to subvert or imperil
the govemment or to impede or hinder
it in the performance of its govern
mental duties.” There is nothing in
the proposed law which impairs the
right of freedom of speech. . The ar-
