FREEDOM AND VIGILANCE
During the past years our political ' "servants" have had ample opportunity to prove the worth of the "party" system. Their failure to give : effect to the common interests by bringing about an expansion, proportionate to the great productivity inherent in this great machine age of plenty, in the facilities for its equal distribution to ensure the securityand freedom of each individual life, still leaves us in the same rut. Each party has taken office with that problem before them, the gap between production and consumption, to be solved by a method of distribution. If it is too much to ask the electors to demand "that what is physically possible should be made financially possible"..to.abridge, the gap r then we must "expect'to perish with our common interests and individual freedom on the cross of bureaucratic suppression that Ave will have fashioned for ourselves! The price of our. individual freedom and economic security is' eternal vigilance. We must preserve this by ensuring a closer control of our representative through the right of recall and a signed pledge to implement our wishes. F. R. J. DEAN.
