Capitalist Morality

When we see the Committee OF Fourteen
fools locate New York City's vice. in the sluns
of Brooklyn we are torn between the desire to
smoker and to break something.
When Police Commissioner Mulrooney calls
all dance hall proprietors to headquarters and
speaks harshly to them against allowing vice."
we know that there is to be consolidation of
capital in that industry, with the graft rake-off
multiplied for the dens remaining after the
cleanup" and that the Police Captains will
soon buy their wives some more real estate
from "legacies left by their aunts"
When the NJ Y. World Telegram (July 2l)

possibly get outraged at the silken sins OF the

AS George Eliot once wrote:
when whose business hours, the
solid part of every day, are spent in an un-
scrupulous course of public or private action
which has every calculabIe chance of causing
widespread injury and misery, can be called
MORAL because he comes home to dine with
piness of his own hearth, the augury is not
good for the use of high ethical and theological
disputation."
To translate the above rather highbrow but
classical paragraph When capitalists spend
their time producing and defending capitalist
conditions which create prostitution, they have
lot of gall to pretend to be shocked at dis
covering prostitutes.
Do those conditions exist? What question:
On page of the same edition of the World
