and then let them alone.
Now we have found out BY
bitter social experience and in
the fierce light Of war that the
old economic philosophers were
wrong--so far at least as modern
high-tensioned industry is con-
cerned. We have discovered
that modern wars cannot be won
by profiteers. 1t is a grave
reflection upon either the frank
ness or the mental capacity OF
our present leaders that they do
not tell us plainly that we must
find a wholly new gearing Tor
the business system and make
it work with a new motor-power
on a new road.
As a matter Of mere cool intel
.lect it Is disgraceful to ask men
wrestling for their economic
lives in the meshes Of the nine
teenth century business system,
to act from motives that are
alien and distinctive to that
system.
I know Mr.. Hoover. Hc is
mo economic illiterate,' and is
not a moral or intellectual
coward. 1t must be that he Is

NEW T NEEDED.

Surely Mr.. Hoover does not
believe or expect other sensible
men to believe that the stipend
Gus issue depends upon the emo
tional moods Of business men or
the degree Of their meekness in
submitting to such measures Of
governmental regulation as are
now being applied. Plainly, what
is needed to keep us out OF
socialism is not line sentiments
and pure passivity under the
regulatory hand. What we need
is a new motive and a new
energy IN the very heart Of the
business world.
The system Of business that
we have inherited is driven by
the profit-motive as a notorious
is driven by gasoline. This is a
simple descriptive statement, not
a Characterization
The men of the last century
who first worked out and elab-
GRATED this system never thought
of denying that "profiteering''
was the breath of its life. They
did not disguise the fact that nc
man could rise to high place Of
power in the system save through
demonstration Of his ability q
a profiteer. They had no notion
that this fact needed to be dis.
guised-for they were enabled
to believe, by the help o
philosophers, that the better tht
profiteering the better was th'
output of goods.

HOOVER ON THE
SOCIALISTIC DRIFT.
AMERICAN BUSINESS MUST CON-
BINE TO PREVENT IMMI-
NENT DANGER. g..
BY r FERGUSON.

Hoover-speaking to the con-
vention Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce at AT
lantic City-warns us that we
are in danger Of drifting to re-
volutionafy socialism Of the
Russian sort unless American
business men and commercial
institutions can make a quick
demonstration Of their social ef-
ficiency.
He suggests that Russia might
have been saved from confusion
if its business organization had
been predetermined and that
the social failure OF business,
whether in Russia or the United
States, must in view Of the for
midable challenge of Teutonic
autocracy entail the setting up
Of an autocracy to win the war.
Thus MIR. Hoover sets in a
very high light his COMPLETION
that American business must
now prove its p~atriotism-under
the seyerest penalties.
What he says is admirable
and OF the first importance. II
is obvious to those who look
steadily at the facts OF con-
temporary experience that the
self-centered and unsocial bus
mess tradition OF the nineteenth
century is coming to its end, and
that over-long persistence in that
tradition must destroy the
structure Of the business system.
root and branch throwing the
whole body Of business over into
the field Of politics, to be sub
iected to the military and police
power.
What Mr.. Hoover says to thi:

may be disputed, I am sure thai
the swift movement OF event:
will soon show it to be at bot
tom indisputable.
