"really are somewhat incidental. No government can survive if it impedes the economic growth of the country. Theodore Roosevelt told Owen Wister in 1838 ho would give the government at Washington fifty more years of life. ‘‘That was thirty-four years ago. and there are only sixteen years left. Four more Presidents! > However, that was Roosevelt's prediction, not mine. "He just wanted to suggest how, to any man of audacity and historic imagination, the question of the form of government is not primary. Roosevelt did not moan the health and prosperity of the American people would iast only fifty years. what we must think about. And when we begin to think about it, and stqdy it, we shall see that the profit system has outlived itself. ‘A new method of production—or rather of ownership and distribution —is necessary, unless we are content to let our -country slide back from the great heights it has reached. nan • npHB first step is for some peoJL p’e with brains to study the Marxian revolutionary science, and make a concrete application of it to conditions in America. Do for America what Lenin and Trotsk: did for Russia from 1900 to 1905. "Study and analyze the social forces. Find out who can be lined up in the long run on a real fieht to take over the basic industries and operate them, not on a profit system, but on a system of government planning for the best interests of all. "The hope lies in a union of scientific revolutionary engineers with the proletariat."
