Whatever may be thought Of his
plan to have American capital buy up
mortgages on all bankrupt industries
OF Europe, Frank A. Vanderlip is one
of the few American bankers who
knows that there is a class struggle
in the world which can only be guided
into safe channels by recognising tho
power, purpose and rights Of labor.
In his new book, what Happened to
Europe" Vanderlip indorsss and
quotes a big English employer who
says:
There Is q lot Of preaching going
on to the effect that the interests of
capital and labor are identical. That
is all bosh. The interests Of capital
and labor are not identical. It is the
aim of labor, and its proper aim, ia
procure all that IL can tn tho division
Of the fruits Of industry. In the same
manner. II is the aim Of capital to oh.
tain all that It can. Up to tho point
OF an industry going to smash the
interests Of labor r opposed to the
interests Of capital. How to divide
between capital and labor the results
Of their industry presents the most
serious Of problems"
The English employer thinks he has
. solution. He would provide, first,
a living wage for labor; and, second, q
minimum return for capital. He
would then divide equally between
capital and labor al profits In excess
Of their basic incomes. In addition
TO this division OF profits the English
employer believes labor must be
granted 4 considerable share IN the
management OF industry before It viii
