, One of the strange paradoxes
our time is that in our politi-
cal life today those who so proud-!
ly march under the “liberal” ban-;
ner often are really not cham-
pions of freedom at all. This col-|
umn has been making this obser-
vation, off and on, for almost
two decades. It is a mistake, of
course, to call all liberals Com-
munists. Relatively few left-lean-
ing “liberals” have carried cards
in the Communist Party; even
extreme liberals are not especial-
ly wanted inside the party, for
they accomplish its goals more
easily outside.
It does seem that “liberals” are
becoming increasingly aware of
flaws in the collectivist argu-
ments. I believe that many sincere
Americans are today examining
critically the reasons for their
political faith and that many of
them are re-discovering the bedr
lock principles upon which this
nation’s achievements are based.
Some Americans, long accustom-.
ed to looking with suspicion up-
on “capital” or “property” while
listening to the orators plead for
“human rights, are realizing
that any planned economy leads
to a net loss of freedom and
man values.

surest way to collectivize every
society,” says Dr. Palyi. The col-
lectivists, he explains, are no
dreamers. They know what they
want. They will use inflation as
one means of gaining and hold-
ing power.
In describing the current stat-
us of creeping inflaiton, Dr. Palyi
refers to a new “line” on a broad
front. This is the idea the U. S.
must always “move ahead,” that
“growth” is important enough as
“to justify more public spending,
taxing, inflating, and meddling.”
There are good and sufficient
reasons for rejecting this new
“line.” He unmasks this subter-
fuge, showing that the same old
purpose is evident, to win friends
and influence votes, under all
sorts of humanitarian slogans
that appeal to the greed of any
groups that have the votes.
