WHAT IS SOCIAL PROGRESS?
As the political campaigns get
under way in this presidential
election year, we’re going to hear
a lot of talk about the importance
of “social progress.”
Everybody’s for social progress,
of course; and all the candidates
are going to pledge themselves to
it. But the term “social progress”
has different meanings to differ
ent people. We need to know the
true basic meaning of the term
so that we can recognize its proper
. use and its misuse.
Our dictionary’s definition of
“social progress” is: the gradual
betterment of mankind.
The Communists say that “so
eial progress” in America requires
the violent overthrow of both our
form of government and our econ
omic system and the establish
ment of a dictatorship backed by
the power of the Red army.
They readily admit that under
their system the citizen’s right to
own private property is abolished
and the individual becomes a
ward of the government, wholly
dependent on it for his needs.
The Regimented Slave
The Communists do not mention
the fact that the citizen must nec
essarily be a completely regimen
ted slave to the government. But
most Americans know this and
will agree that the Communist
version of social progress” is not
true social progress—that it takes
mankind back to a brutal form of
feudalism rather than forward to
a better life.
The Socialists say that “social
progress” in America requires the
setting up of a welfare state with
government owning the major in
dustries and distribution facilities
and with individual rights being
made secondary or even abolished
in favor of collective rights.
As under Communism, <the So
cialists would ignore property
rights and all citizens would be
looked upon, in effect, as wards
of the government, being prom
ised equal amounts of food, cloth

ing and shelter.
The Socialists do not publicize
the fact that throughout history
Socialist governments have al
ways found it necessary to take
over rigid control of the lives of
the people. But most Americans
know this and reject the Socialist
version of “social progress’’ as
actually taking mankind back to
the status of citizen-slave and
gorvernment-master which was in
effect in the Middle Ages.
With our American system of
freedoms and incentives and upon
the principle of self-reliance, the
American people have achieved
a greater measure of social pro
gress than can be found anywhere
else\ in history.
We must challenge any claim
that social progress can be assured
by increasing the number of peo
ple dependent on the government
for handouts. That is the way to
cripple social progress.

Marines Marooned by
California Blizzard
SAN FRANCISCO, (A*)—Rotary
snow plows bucked a five-foot
blanket of snow Saturday trying
to open a Sierra road to two buses
loaded with Marines from the
Pickle Meadow winter training
camp in eastern California.
The buses, which normally car
ry 30 passengers each, were the
last of a Marine convoy headed
south to Camp Pendleton. The
others bogged down temporarily
but later reached towns in the
snow covered area.
The Leathernecks were reported
equipped with Arctic gear.
The State Division of Highways
at Bishop said the buses are stuck
in a 23 - mile stretch * between
Bridgeport and Sonora Junction,
high on the eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevada on U.S. Highway
395.
