third interest there IS no solution OF
the industrial problem.
I'VE find that this third interest alb
solutcly controls and dominates The
management Of industry. II fixes
wages and controls working conditions.
II fixes the prices Of commodities with
out regard to the needs Of society. or
the necessities of producers and con-
sumcrs. We have democratic form
Of government. but an autoCraiic con-
troll of industry.
Eve exist under government, but by
industry We live. Under such n Sys-
tom the majority Of L democracy can.
through their government. crj"y only
such rights and proves as an 'autoCracy
in industry permits them to receive.
This country was pCoplcd by Il race who
sought within its boundaries religious
freedom. II was established by their
descendants through revolution rs a
land of political freedom. We now do
mand that il become the home of indus
trial frcedm.
This can only be accomplished by
extending TO industry tho same right of
individual freedom recognized by the
founders OF our government in cstab-
fishing this democracy. The nccd OF
mankind for the products of industry
must be accepted as the basic interest
In all industry. The right Of the work
er who supplies that need demands n
like acceptance. This can b" only
achieved by permitting producers and
consumers to share in control Of tho
management Of thcii. means of exist
cncc. The machinery for attaining this
result We believe is embodied in the plan
outlined in the Sims bill.
Our belief in the efficiency Of this
plan is profound We embraced this
plan with all the ardor of those who
sought political freedom. In this plan,
we raise the banner of democracy in
control Of industry VIC advance to a new
crusade with the faith of the pilgrims,
with the convictions of the farmers OF
the constitution and with tho hope Of
America for economic independence"
