When the Profit System "Worked."

Professor Frank A. Pearson of Cornell Uni
versity, a defender of low wages as the best
method to bring prosperity to business, in a talk
at a luncheon given by the New York State
Junior Chamber of Comerce, in the Bankers
Club, at 120 Broadway, New York City, declared
that during the period between March and July,
1888, the industrial system based exclusively on
aximu profits for those who own and con-
troll industry, regardless of the welfare of the
masses, was striding along in fine shape. He
said:
"The profit system was working, and men
were happy and commended to return to work
at the old wage"
In July, 1888, there were 11,793,000 able
bodied working men and women in the army of
the unemployed, pounding the pavements
throughout the length and breadth of the coun-
try, begging for jobs without avail. Evidently
the profit system was not working very well for
these iobless millions.
About the time mentioned by Professor Pear
son-July, 1933-the President of the United
States opened the unemployment drive for
shorter hours and higher wages to stimulate
purchasing power and hasten recovery. This eff
fort of the Chief Executive, with the co-opera-
ton of a few industries, re-employed 1,685,000
jobless during the next few months, reducing
the unemployed army to 1O,1O8,OOO in September.
Then the influence of profit mongers in the
NRA became paramount and higher wages and
unemployment for the idle as the major objects
of the recovery program were scuttled and
profits for stockholders became the chief OBJ
%jective.
Speaking Of this laudable objective of the Ad-
ministration, Professor Pearson declared that it
really retarded recovery, by which he probably
meant recovery of maximum profits by those
who originally wrecked industry in the pursuit
of that subversive scheme. He says:
"Among other things, the nation decided
to create additionl purchasing power by
raising wages at a time when unemployment
was a serious problem"
That is a rich morsel coming from a college
professor. If there is ever a time when wages
should be raised it is when a large number of
people are unemployed. The increased buying
power of higher pay makes a larger market for
commodities and hence more work for the job
less. But this policy, according to Professor
Pearson, is wholly unreasonable and really re-
tards recovery.
When a university professor declares, as Pro-
lessor Pearson does, that low wages make the
profit system work, it is time to question
whether university education really enables
some of those who possess it to think clearly,
reason nationally, and accurately vision the fun
damentals of mass prosperity.

the NRA, Chairman Gerard Swope, Of
the Business Advisory & Planning
Council for the Department Of Com
merce, made a speech to that body in
which he outlined a scheme of setting
up a National Chamber of Commerce
& Industry. The function of the new
organization would apparently be to
supplant the MIRA by a super-federa-
ton Of employers, freed by the recov-
cry codes from the antitrust laws.
