Planning to Cure Slump
Washington. — "Our productive forces and resources are adequate to provide for all human wants, if they are not perverted to the private gains of the privileged classes," said Morris Hillquit, national chairman of the socialist party. "Our industries must be radically reorganized on the principle of planned production for the benefit of the whole body of our people."
Hillquit charged that our present industrial system has "piled up vast wealth for the few and thrown millions of toilers into the breadlines. It is impotent to control the wild and blind economic forces which it has conjured up."
