In the general sense of taking "possession of real estate, factories and - stocks, bonds, cash, « commerce--No! The "No!" is largely due to the fact that such seizure would take wealth out of the hands-of those who had the ability to make it, (or retain it after it was made), and place it in the hands of those who are untrained in the necessary skills and managerial ability to produce and retain that wealth.

Ladies and gentlemen of leisure should be rare indeed if they are capable of any useful service. The real opposition to great wealth, is the ten- dency to make its owner overbearing, vain and selfish. Great displays of personal wealth are not only in poor taste; but they.are dangerous when millions of men have risked their fives for our protection, and have learned to kill in order that evil may be destroyed. * * * * Two facts should be noted in this matter. TI first is that heavy taxes, limitation of profits and drastic government control of 'industry are going , a long way toward conscripting wealth, The second is that many people who agitate for the conscription of wealth, haven't any.
