COMMUNISM Ancient - Modern Communism is not a new doctrine. It goes back at least as far as the ancient King Minos of Crete and King Lycurgus, of Sparta, and Plato held to many of its doctrines, according to Dr. D. J. C. Dorsey, of the Washington College of Law. "Today radical doctrines assail us on all sides. Most of their theories find their prototypes in ancient histories and are modern adaptations of archaic exploded ideas. The most vicious and virulent principles are combined and called 'communism.' Present-day radicals have taken something from all those aged 'isms' and foisted upon the American people as a new order. "Approximately three thousand years ago, Lycurgus, the ruler of a small city state in ancient Greece called Sparta, become inoculated with the venom of certain principles, only later to be adopted by the communists, through contact with a king of Crete called 'Minos.' History does not relate how Minos became possessed of them. Herodotus, Aristate, Zenophon, Thucydides, Plato and Plutarch tell us of Lycurgus and his institutions. Lycurgus evolved a military state that was totally lacking in those refinements that we identify with an advanced civilization. Sparta produced no men like Pericles, Philias, Socrates, Solon or Sophocles. Spartan institutions have added nothing to civilization. On the contrary they have contributed much that now threatens our civilization with destruction. Plato in his republic incorporated some of the institutions of Lycurgus, while Aristotle WHAT OTHER THINK THE SLICKERS Nobody says "Share our wealth." They say "Share your wealth."

Speaker Bvrs holds that the recent administration statement on the budget simply means "that there has been a greater degree of business recovery than the President or possibly anyone else expected when he delivered his budget message to the Congress last January." But can the Speaker really mean to imply that neither the Brain Trust nor anybody else about Washington could foresee how much the New Deal was going to accomplish?—Kansas City Times.

The St. Louis Post Dispatched the country, if we are mistaken, in digging another of interest out of the Presidency address to the conference mavors, held in Washington week. It reads: "We haven't had a (tax) sion and I think the time is ing—not this coming session Congress, because we hope it will be a very short sess but by the following year, all of us can get together work out a better system of action." The date, it will be observe taking up the subject is not but 1937. This, our contempt says, shows that Mr. Roosevelt no doubt as to who will occupy White House at that time. confidence should reassure New Dealers who show signs litters because of the pool of Literary Digest, and are all marshaling data to prove that cannot be relied upon.—Balt Sun.

Sparta produced no men like Pericles, Phidias, Socrates, Solon or Sophocles. Spartan institutions have added nothing to civilization. On the contrary they have contributed much that now threatens our civilization with destruction. Plato in his republic incorporated some of the institutions of Lycurgus, while Aristotle criticized both Lycurgus and Plato and held that their ideas were unreasonable. "Communists, in their endeavor to find a more remote pristine basis for their community of property theory, direct our attention to the period when family ownership prevailed. In some parts of the world a form of family ownership still prevails. However, such customs and practices never owed their existence to communistic incentives in the accepted sense. Family ownership originated when the races were nomadic was retained by them for a long time after they had fixed habitations. The male head of the family was considered the nominal owner of the property and through him the members of the family had a vested right of enjoyment. The family solidity was primarily due to the necessity for protection, though community of ancestor worship and the sacred fire were also contributing factors. Such a family was a political unit and its property rights were recognized by other families or units. The individuals in each family were united by blood, marriage or adoption. Family ownership prevailed in the early phases of Hamitic, Semitic, Mongolian and Aryan divisions of the human race. As civilization advanced the individual found that he no longer needed the strength of the family for his protection for the state undertook that duty. Mindful of this new security the individual quickly accumulated property which he held distinct from any family property and the law recognized his right to acquire, retain and dispose of it. The law protected the individual in this right and granted remedies for its infringement. Today communism does not contemplate any ties of blood, marriage, or adoption to hold it together. There is no similarity between the ancient military state that was totally lacking in those refinements that we identify with an advanced civilization. These days newspaper readers have their choice between photographs of Ethiopian warriors and football players, the latter appearing much the more formidable.—Toronto Mail and Empire.

The modern communist advocates the complete abolition of individual property rights and in lieu would substitute a so-called community or state ownership under the direction of a dictator." TAKING DEAR PUBLIC FOR A RIDE The speculator should be allowed a fair percentage for his investment. But he should not be allowed to hire necessary foodstuffs and raise the price just because there happens to be shortage of that produce. If you pay a man a certain sum of money not to raise a certain article there is bound to be shortage of that particular article. There is where the keen middle man steps into the picture and chuckles to beat the band. They should turn off his gas.
