...poor citizens be protected against exploitation by what they call the 'predatory' exponents of capitalism-that is, free enterprise . . . These believers in centralization fail to warn us that monopoly is always potentially dangerous to freedom, even when monopoly is exercised by government. Curiously enough, they proclaim their fear of a private power monopoly in a county, city or state, but urge upon us all a gigantic, overwhelming, nationwide power monopoly. But, of course, they also see themselves as the all-wise directors of that monopoly, so all would be well...
...decrees casually dispensed with the secret ballot. Instead, to save "unnecessary paper work," voters will go before election boards and orally proclaim their choices. First they will elect members of an assembly to write a new constitution...

U Nu's Benevolent State is so popular that enterprising Burmese salesmen name good things after it (a cool, refreshing glass of "Benevolent" milk) and Rangoon buses proclaim their "Benevolent" destination. U Nu is starting slowly to redistribute 10 million acres of land, and he is paying the landlords dusty but democratic compensation-one year's rent. Another Burmese item of note: a contract has been let for a steel rolling mill. The future looks so bright...
