' S0VIETIZ1NG, SAYS DR.W. E. CHANCELOR ON NATIONALIZATION Editor Daily News: The two great questions of American politics now are (1) what to do with the railroads and (2) how to contract the -currency and, l?artJHy v ,, ho ntr.mi nublie- the ly advocated robbery ln the history ot mankind: it means stealing ! billions of dollars worth of property. :it nouid -nd only in sovietizing our mjnes, farms, factories, mills, shops ahlma naweltanaM nl ! OtTflfl unit throwing all wealth into one vast arena of anarchistic loot and human sjiugfhter. If railroad bonns can be expropriated by act of congress then our deeds to our homes are worse than "scraps of paper;" they, are Invitations to thugs to oust ourselves and families. The other issue is how to end the reduction of the purchasing power of money, another but more subtle mode of expropriating the pri-. vate wealth of men. We must face the .question how to contract tbe currency and thereby save us from dollars that are no longer yardsticks but foot rules. Democrats and Republicans must face both issues. Against the con- servatles who are seeking to save American democracy according to the patterns of the fathers are rising the triumphant radlcaU to Eu- ropeanize this Republic. The high cost of living is th weapon that the radicals of deirag-oeuery are usln to stay the defenders ' of private property at the first trench of the railroads. Yours very truly. WILLIAM E.
