(3) Security"
az Control over credit"
First, what is meant by "self
government" in business? Does
Mr.. Richberg mean by this that
the individual business man shall
have control over Ibis" business?
BY no means. His idea, as ex.
pressed in speeches, is that there
is to be some sort Of economic
constitution" established, and
that majority rule" will be
applied. Democracy is to govern
business. self government" means
the government in business. The
government is to be a sort Of
partner, with veto power. In
short, it is the old slogan of
industrial Democracy" adopted
long ago by some brands of
socialists.
It sounds fair enough to demo-
cratic people. But since when
have economics or business been
the same as politics? And are
democracy" and majority rule
such a success in government that
We want them in business?
At least, we should recognize
that economics and politics, or
business and government, are diff
ferent things, and need not be run
In the same way.
At least we should note that our
business enterprises have been di.
rected by individuals, with the
government separate, and merely
regulating" them.
Perhaps the heart Of the matter
Is found in the slogan business
for service" or production for
uSe."
Business has been run for pro-
fits. The test, in our theory, has
been economic efficiency. It has
been recognized that business men
and laborers differ in efficiency,
and that failures are the penalty
OF inefficiency. Values (priceS)
have governed. and costs must be
covered.
Who knows what Service" or
"use" is? Suppose someone de-
cideS a dam, or a modernized
house, or a post office is "uSe-
full" are we to have it regard
less Of cost? If so, who is to
pay?
This brings us to the slogan,
"Security"-Security as to unem-
ployment and old age.
Here we note first that no
amount of insurance" can pre-
vent unemployment or old age,
any more than fire insurance can
prevent fires. In fact, insurance
might tempt people to use less
care in avoiding unemployment
and being too old to work, just as
1t sometimes encourages fires.
But the main point is that in.
Surance must be personal and in.
dividual. It must be relative to
the merits and past services Of
the insured person, if it is to be
just. A man can't do just as he
pleaSeS, and then expect to retire!
Who would pay?
Insurance must be "a business
proposition"
Here we come to government
control over credit" This may be
what is meant by an adequate"
currency
You see, when things are
made to sell, and production is
for "value," costs must be COW
cred by income, or the enter
prise fails. But when the gov
ernment goes in for "IOw cost
housing" or "yard-Stick" elec-
tricity, or other kinds Of
abundant life," it doesn't pay"
Many old persons and unem-
plOyed may not have earned an
insurance. So this may be why
the New Dealers want to be
able to make paper money and
bank credit, or in other words,
to make forced loans. Who
pays?
These are the problems we
should be thinking about. At
least, let us consider what the
slogans really mean.
The Washington times., 1934-11-28

cult to focus the issue, and gains
support from those who do not
realize what is really meant.
Today we find at least four
main slogans adopted by leading
New Dealers, and these merit
close examination. They are as
follows:
~ "Sef government in bust.
ness"
(2) Business for service"
(3) Security"
