WHY is A CAPITALIST"

As good a defense of capitalism
as has come TO hand is that sub
mitted in a recent address by Ivy
L. Lee of New York. The fact
that Mr.. Lee is connected in an
advisory capacity with the Rocke-
feller interests does not disqualify
him from speaking on the subject,
IIe ought to know something about
capitalism. He said, speaking to
an audience one-third socialist;
Capitalism is the only economic
system yet devised that works ard
develops human progress. Men ano
women are fundamentally selfish.
Under capitalism the incentive for
production is the appeal OF selfish
ness. This has been proved the
best system because man will do
better in the interest of himself
and family than with any other
motive.
III it were true that everybody
followed the Golden Rule, and we
all had more interest in the welfare
Of society than in ourselves and
families, I'll admit socialism might
work. But this period will have
to come in a higher civilization.
Here are some disputable points,
but the reasoning in the main is
certainly sound. Socialism or conf
munism has often been tried, III
many ages, and has sometimes
seemed to work transiently or local
| ly. 1t has never raelly worked on
an extensive scale for any long
period of time. The present ex-
pertinent in Russia, the most am
bilious trial of socialism in history,
is failing demonstrably under the
eyes OF all mankind, and failing
mainly for the reasons here given.
This, it should be added, is not
necessarily destined TO be so for
ever. The capitalistic critic him
sell seems to assume the ultimate
success OF the socialist idea OF
united action for the common good,
when civilization shall have de-
veloped TO a point where the social
sense becomes stronger with the
mass OF mankind than the individual
or family sense. That is exactly
what Herbert Spencer, most posi-
tive of the positive scientists, be-
lieved. 1t is what Edward Bellamy
believed, and what H. G. Wells
believes. The latter trusts in the
latent goodwill in man. which he
thinks is stronger than most per-
sons admit.
1t may be that the only really
debatable point about socialism as
a theory of life and government is
how long it is going to take man
Kind to become sufficiently unselfish
and intelligent enough to make i
work. There can be no agreement
about that. Certain it is that this
present world is not ready for it
