But this will cause no serious delay, for among policies, as elsewhere, the fittest are surely destined to survive.
Ten years ago it would have been held as highly improbable that we would enter into such a collectivist period in half a century.

Already a large part of the present generation expect to see it in their lifetime.

And the constantly accelerated developments of recent years justify the belief of many that we may find ourselves far advanced in "State Socialism" before another decade has passed.
The question that must now be answered by the statesman as opposed to the mere politician, by the publicist as opposed to the mere journalist, is, not how soon the program of "State Socialism" will be put into effect, but what is going to be the attitude of the masses towards it.

A movement exists that is already expressing and organizing their discontent with capitalism in whatever form.

It promises to fill this function still more fully and vigorously in proportion as collectivist capitalism develops.
