TO defeat Socialism by cheating the
Socialist TO it." DIR. Taylor said.
at is regrettable," DIR. Taylor said,
"that confusion should exist in the
public mind between the terms so
ciologist' and Socialist Many per-
sons have the idea that the sociologist
believes that he has a panacea for all
industrial and social ills. A socio-
logist is one who makes a scientific
study of society, while a Socialist is
a person who adheres to certain
political belief"
Since the desire to acquire and own
property is a human instinct and can
not be suppressed, DR.. Taylor be-
lieves that the ultimate solution Of the
conflict between capital and labor
will be brought about when the work
ers will be encouraged TO invest in
enterprises for which they work and
receive share of the profits after a
fair return is given TO capital as inter
est for money invested is deducted.
The profit-shoring plan has worked
satisfactorily wherever it has been
put into effect" DIR. Taylor asserted.
1T has been my observation that
whenever the employer takes the en-
ploye into his confidence, that labor
troubles do not exist.
Recently / talked to an employer
who had found it necessary to make
radical cuts in the wages of hundreds
of his employees. The reduction was
made without protest from those af-
fected. | asked him how il was that
he could keep down dissatisfaction.
Ale told me that before the cut
was announced that he had called, all
his employees together and frankly ex.
planned the condition Of the business
He did not confine himself to a gen.
eral statement that the falling off OF
business necessitated the cut, but, OIL
the contrary, he explained exactly
why the reduction was necessary, il
the business was to be kept going. He
went into figures and details.
Il believe that the sense of injustice
felt by many employees would be elm.
mated if an employer would make nc
important change without consulting
with his employees. lie. that method is
pursued. they will feel sense of re
sponsibility that they would not. fee
If they were treated only as one Of the
many inanimate cogwheels in great
machine.
According to my opinion, the in
dustrial problem will be solved wher
labor is taken into the confidence o.
capital, and labor receives a shar,
of the profits of any business. IL
other words, there will be no distinc
ton between capital and labor anc
employer and employe, because boil
will have an interest in property anC
production. Thus Socialism will b.
defeated
The French invasion Of the Ruhr
DR.. Taylor believes, will make condi
tons favorable for the return of th,
monarchist regime in Germany. Any
one of the old school of monarchists
who are bitterly against PREPARATION
payment may step forth at any time
as a new kaiser.
while was in Germany after the
abdication of the kaiser, i asked one
of the German leaders IL he believed
that the kaiser would ever return. He
told me that the old kaiser would
never return, but new kaiser might
arose at any time"
Hugo SHINES and the other Goa
and steel barons of the Ruhr, DIR. Tay.
Tor said, profited by the war and after
the war profited upon the poverty snG
misery of the German people. They
DIR. Taylor believes, are the ones re
sponsible for the non-payment of rep
arations and the cause of the French
occupation of the Ruhr. 81
