FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1935 REFORM BY VOTE As Father Couglin becomes in creasingly prominent in national affairs, it is necessary to examine his ideas more closely and to appraise the chances he and his Union for Social Justice have for carrying through their program of social reform. Speaking in Madison Square Garden recently, the Father lambasted the veto of the bonus bill. To hear him talk, one would have thought he was walking on very sacred toes. In his talk he reached a sort of climax with the burst and fire of this radical statement: "If capitalism stands in the way of social justice, it should be voted out of existence." That is a sentence to remember, In fact, it is almost a verbatim copy of Herr Hitler's idea before he got the power through legal votes. It sounds very similar to the announced names of the leaders of the German Party, Adolf Hitler,inian Socialists, and the reformers-by all in nations. Several pertinent reflections ought to be remembered along with the Father's brave declaration that "capitalism should be voted out of existence if it stands in the way of social justice." The really important thing to remember is this: that wherever and whenever in modern democracies the body of the people have "voted" to abolish capitalism, the power and machinery of the state declared the elections false, refused to seat the delegates, and promptly began operating under the governmental form of fascism. The classic example was in the rise of Hitler in Germany on a program of "socialism" quite similar to Coughlin's, and the consequent removal of "democratic" forms to avoid the "menace of Bolshevism." So what? Is not "social justice a fine ideal, a worthy cause? Social justice is nice, it is simply splendid; but it cannot be be gained by "voting" the capitalists out of power. The chances are small that we will lose our other fasist-like demagogues know this perfectly well. Another reflection to be remembered: why, if Father Coughlin abhors the "evils of capitalism", does he not align himself with the Communists, who also take that position? After his talk in New York, "Twenty-seven men and women were arrested on charges of distributing Communist hits. Moreover, why is he reported at length, picture and all, if he such an enemy of the capitalist system — under which our newspapers function? So, as Heywood Brown might say, Father Coughlin loves social justice, hates capitalism, and you, dear reader, are the Grand Duke Alexis. Last weekend county after county in Illinois exhausted all regular and emergency relief funds—the support of 1,200,000 of the state's citizens. Twenty-eight thousand families were placed on their own slim resources by the lack of food orders and 87,000 other families are on the verge of needling relief. AISING A QUESTION "The Cook County board won't stand by and see its people suffer," its president asserted, but he also said the Commission would be reluctant to sell more bonds. Even transient shelters, which fed and lodged up 15,000 homeless men, were ordered closed. It has been suggested that perhaps a different method of governing would help solve the problem. Surely some form can be worked out whereby everyone has an equal chance to grow to manhood and feel that he himself is able to earn an adequate living. It is not necessary to voice all the facts in the situation. People know that now we have "just a land of people in want." But what can the people do? If they rise up in protest (as some of them have done) they stand a chance of being shot as were nine protesting workmen in 1934. If riots begin, who knows better than the working class what will be done? THIS RADICAL SHEET Kansas State Collegian The editor of the Collegian has frequently been criticized during the past semester for what has been termed his radical ideas and practices. It is only with regret that we are forced to admit we haven't lived up to the reputation The term radical is probably the most abused word in the English language. Under it any and all are classified whose degree is "abnormal". But to literally interpret the term radical, we would find that those we thus assigned are entitled to a great deal of freedom and respect; but go to the root of a problem—to find the basic faults. I inevitably if this 'dose the individual will be forced to adversely changes in our mode of living of an ex- In an ultra-conservative school such as Kansas State state anything tipped with the threat of extinction must and yet quite a large element in the school's population.

Join the Gang for a COKE Between Classes UNION FOUNTAIN Sub-basement Memorial Union While the majority of the colleges in the country actively support several radical movements Kansas State is similarly devoid of any radical movement. A radical movement. Students on the whole have been quite unaware that "the war with the resultant worldwide warfare we are now in, has denied startling defects in structural structure." Conservation of this sort is the worst sort of disease. Anyone that can remain conservative amidst the social conditions of today is either too well-fixed as far as we know, or too good, so completely interposed to be oblivious to his environment, or suffering from an advanced form of mental stagnation. The fact that change of a liberal, and in some cases radical, mindset is safe from the mercurse are now in it is obvious. Our future depends on the success of our liberals and radicals in waking us from our sloth in time to make necessary changes. Only ultimate destruction can result in the ultra-conservative. The radicalism of the Collegian has been of a very mild nature. True enough some of the editorials have intimated that socialization of our resources and a more equitable distribution of our material wealth was desirable. Other editorials have been slightly anti-ROTT. By turning the spotlight on the fraternity, de-closing its society in a parallel with conditions in society we will have to face after graduation — an extremely audacious thing for any individual to do, attack an established institution—the Collegei probably gained its greatest reputation as a radical organ. Considerable muck- raking in regard to rotten student poli- tical conditions was also engaged in. But as far as analyzing our social struc- ture to its fundamental faults, and thou- ts taking active role in the organization, the self-appointed duty of genuine radicallism—we have contributed little. Most radicals live ahead of their time, and seldom live to see the realization of their ideals. Radicalism has other things most of us hold dear. True radicalism involves self-sacrifice to an ideal the individual considers of more value than we would normally have. We appreciate the compliment of being called a radical and only regret that it is misapplied.
