COMMUNISM . . system
We use the word Communism
nowadays to mean a particu-
lar system of government
which has been adopted in
Russia and to which the Rus-
sians are trying to convert the
rest of the world. It would
mean a complete change in the
special and economic order
from that to which we aiVac-
customed. The Russian "sys-
tem is actually not one of Com-
munism in the literal sense of
equal or common ownership
of all property. In Russia ev-
erything, including the lives
and liberties of the masses of
the people, is controlled by a
small minority called the Com-
munist Party. Its membership
is limited. Whenever the
Party gets too many members
the leaders kill off or exile a
few thousand, so as to keep
control in a small and well-
disciplined group.
The Russian system, there-
fore, is not real Communism
but a tyrannical system of
minority rule.

CHRISTIANITY . communism
At various times throughout
history the idea has taken
root of true Communism, in
which no one had any advan-
tage over any other in material
possessions, but ail contributed
to a common store of wealth,
which was at the disposal of
every member of the commu-
nity.
That was the principle an-

der which the early Christian
communities and congrega-
tions lived. They took this
pure form of Communism to be
the direct teaching of Christ.
Brotherhood meant to them
literally that all men were
brothers and all should share
alike. •
This got them into trouble'
with their non-Christian neigh-
bors, and with the political
powers of the countries in
which they lived. It prevent-
ed the politicians from taxing
them, because if nobody own-
ed anything he couldn’t pay
taxes.
Since people existed chiefly
to provide revenue for their
political rulers, this early
form of Christianity was so
persecuted that after a few
hundred years Christians gave
up the struggle and accepted
the existing political system,

UTOPIA.....real
More than four hundred
years ago Sir Thomas More,
recently elevated to sainthood
by the Roman Catholic Church
wrote a book about an imagi-
nary country which he called
“Utopia.” It was a description
of a whole nation living hap-
py and contented lives under a
Communistic system in which
wealth was shared, everybody
contributed his labor to the
common welfare and every-
one’s needs were met out of
the common store of wealth.
Recently it has been learn-
ed that Sir Thomas had heard
from a sailor who had been
shipwrecked on the coast of
Peru, an account of the still
mysterious kingdom of the In-
cas, long before the conquest
of Peru by the Spanish. The
treasure of the Incas was
stolen by the conquerors, its
leaders were slain and the peo-
ple reduced to slavery.
But such authentic records
as still exist indicate that this
strange people, whose origin is
unknown, lived for thousands
of years in the. nearest ap-
proach to the perfect state
that has ever been achieved by
humanity.
They were able to make
Communism work
ed, and hundreds of attempts
to work it out on a more or less
limited scale have been made.
All but one or two of these at-
tempts have failed utterly,
and the ones that survive have
done so by abandoning most
of their original Communistic
principles.
Nearly all of these experi-
ments have been tried in the
United States, beginning with
the settlement of the Pil-
grims at Plymouth, where ev-
erything was owned in com-
mon. After seven years Com-
munism was abandoned be-
cause the younger men rebell-
ed at working to support other
men’s families.
The Mormons have succeed-
ed better than any other
group in building a community
life in which, though all are
not equal, none is allowed to
starve. The Mormon empire
has been built on the founda-
tion of rigid religious control
of the lives of its members.
That is also true of the only
other surviving experiment of
the sort, the Oneida Communi-
ty. Both the Oneida Perfec-
tionists and the Mormon
Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter Day Saints had to abandon
some of their original princi-
ples in order to survive,

INDEPENDENCE____efforts
All of the early efforts in
this country to establish some-
thing like the communal sys-
tem of the early Christians j
were made by groups of indi-1
vidnals acting independently
of any government.
It did not occur to the foun-1
dens of the most famous of the j
communal enterprises of a cen- j
tury ago, Brook Farm in j
Massachusetts, that their ven-
ture was anything in which |
government was or ought to
be concerned. The most emi-

leaders of the time joined in
PINE SHADES

(By Mrs. Tot Taylor)
The stately pines are silent,
Silent as in prayer
Their graceful selves majestic
Impress the meaning there.
In their shades we study.

They stand as just an emblem
Of the power on above.

the Brook Farm experiment,
or gave it their support, be-
cause they saw no other way
to demonstrate the ideal way
of life which they had visual-
ized.
Brook Farm failed because
its people failed to recognize
inequalities in talent and abil-
ity between individuals, and
were so completely committed
to the ideals of Democracy
and individual liberty that
they would not subject any
member of their colony to dis-
cipline, either religious or po-
litical.
