FORD PLAN ANALYzED

With ''The muniicent scheme Of profit
sharing recently announced by a we'll
known manufacturer of automobiles" as
his initial theme. George Z. Roberts,
director OF the Mint, and the highest
authority on economics and finance in
the United States, discussed in the
American Review of Reviews of today
the distribution Of surplus incomes with
an optimism that is most healthful at
the present time, when talk of a possible
crisis" in the business world is so rife
Mr.. Roberts Enthusiastically analyzes
the munificent scheme" in its real re-
lation to the world and its business.
Without in any way deprecating the
doubtless generous motives Of the we'll
known manufacturer of automobiles, he
indicates that in his belief the largest
benefit of the munificent scheme is that
of stimulating a popular discussion of
the laws governing the production and
distribution of wealth." -
There has been too little of such in
quiry. and current popular discussion
shows slight recognition of the great
fundamental influences by which the
benefits Of increasing wealth and in
dustrial progress are constantly and in
evitably distributed to all members of
the community

Mr.. Roberts concludes:
Rich Are Trustees.

"It Is often said that the rich hold their
wealth as trustees. but few realize how
literally true the saying Is. However
miserly and grasping the owners may be.
they cannot invest their wealth In profit-
able industry except for the satisfaction
of public wants. and where IL Is never
withdrawn and the proceeds are likewise
invested II Is practically dedicated TO
public use. The owners may not realize
Il; the constitution of society is such that
individual selfishness has often advanced
the common good. But the owners are
coming to realize 1t; ignorant selfishness
changes to enlightened selfishness. en-
lightened selfshness leads to a knowledge
of mutual interests and mutual interests
develop the sense of mutual obligations.
All the higher life of the race has been
developed by responsibilities and obliga-
tions at first unappreciated and then
slowly discerned.
When the true relations Of wealth to
social progress and the essential unity
of society are understood there will be
vastly less of suspicion, ill-feeling, and

individual can dispose of a surplus in
come so that its benefits will be dis
tributed to the public Is by giving 1t
away" Mr.. Roberts points out that ''the
well-being Of the world Is necessarily de-
pendent upon Industrial progress Popu-
lation Is increasing and unless the arts
and industries are developed so that a
given amount of labor will yield larger
returns. the world will face the 6ismal
fate described by Nautilus. We have a
suggestion Of 1t now in the higher cost
of living"
Raw materials and food have risen in
price more than manufactured goods.
Mr.. Roberts points cut, and in the
industrials. where capital Is an impor-
tant factor, the rising costs Of raw ma
terials and labor have been in part over
come by the use of labor saving machin-
cry. Our hopes for the future depend
upon development along this line"
It is then that Mr.. Roberts takes up
the expenditure of capital and the rein
vestment of income.
'"The railways of the United States
have been practically rebuilt within the
last fifteen years Practicaliy
equipment Is wiped out in a generation
and replaced by equipment Of higher
efficiency, and in the ten years preceding
tne lasI OnlteO states census, Wnlle tnc
population increased p per cent, the num-
ber Of horsepowers employed In manu-
featuring establishments increased S per
cent. The present generation can
render no greater service to the genera
tions that follow than in reserving from
current consumption the savings required
for industrial progress.
THE existing standards of comfort for
the wage-earning classes in all countries
correspond to the degree in which they
are equipped with efficient machinery"
Mr.. Roberts cites as examples of how
the whole world is benefited by the in
vestment of capital-or the distribution
OF surplus incomes-the expenditure of
approximately a billion dollars for equip
ment of railways in Canada. with re-
sultant effects upon the agriculture, min
ing. manufacturing. and business inter-
ests of Canada, the manufacturing in
terests of the United States, and the
population Of England, which thus was
given an outlet into Canada. The ex-
ample describes the natural, orderly
progress Of society,"

no political sins upon their conscience
and no political hobbies ON their feet
they come with something hitherto un-

which brings red blood to politics, as

say that of these four will carry. And
