Evening star., 1941-04-22

If we could, why, with all the un-
limited resources nature affords,
money, machines and men have
been idle, with consequent hardship
and suffering TO millions. The total
itarian leaders of the Old World are
trying to answer these questions by
force. They are trying to provide
economic security for their followers
by deSpoiling minorities and crush
ing small nations.
Free Enterprise Is Aim.
They have declared their determi-
nation to destroy both democracy
and the institution of private prop
erty because, they say, democracy
and capitalism have failed. The
heavy yoke of Hitler was accepted
by the people of Germany because
he held out to them the hope that he
would establish a new order which
would provide economic security for
the master race" The basis of his
propaganda attack upon the govern
ments of France and England was
that these nations were controlled
to use his own words, by plutocrats,
and the masses could not expect eco
nomic justice from them. The same
argument was held out to the people
of Russia by Lenin and his success
sor, Stain and to the people of Italy
by MusSolini. In all three cases, the
attack has been carried out by deny
ing to the individual the basic rights
of political and economic liberty
upon which the democratic system
depends.
Clearly, if it is our intention to
preserve democracy, it is our task to
make the system of free enterprise
work; that is to say, it is necessary
for us to surround free enterprise
with such safeguards as will guaran-
tee to every man the opportunity to
labor and to possess the fruits of his
labor. Whatever restricts the eco
nomic opportunity of the individual
citizen is hostile to the principle of
democracy. The studies of this COM
mittee seem to make it clear that
the first foe of free enterprise is not
the dictatorial state. but private mo-
nopoly in all its manifestations
which tend to close the door of op-
portunity to the masses. The dicta-
tor does not arise until the monop-
olist has prepared the way for him.
The authoritarian state does not ap-
pear until after arbitrary private
power has restricted the economic
liberty of the people.
This report does not confuse size
with monopoly as do some who seem
to fear any attempt to diagnose our
economic ills, and its recommenda-
tions for strict enforcement of the
antitrust laws do not proceed from
Evening star., 1941-04-22

This, for example, is the object of
the recommendations with respect to
changes in the patent laws. Au-
thority was given to Congress by the
Constitution to grant for limited
times to authors and inventors the
exclusive rights to their respective
writings and discoveries" but solely
for the purpose of promoting "the
progress of science and the useful
arts" No one can read the record
of the committee without realizing
that the patent has frequently been
used as a device for hindering 'the
progress of science and the useful
arts" for regimenting industry, for
suppressing free enterprise and for
establishing international cartels
against the interest of the Nation
itself.
Encourage New Enterprise.

ganiZed capital, be used against the
public interest. All of the recon-
mendations of the committee for
changes in the patent law are de-
signed to protect the individual in
ventol and to prevent the patent
privilege from being used to sup
press competition or impede free en-
terprise
Accompanying the recommended
tions designed to protect business
enterprise effectively from arbitrary
private power are others intended
to foster and encourage new enter
prise For example the report says:
I'VE must, however, not only
stop the process of concentration
by the action of Government and
business under the antitrust laws,
but the Government should actively
encourage the development of new
private enterprise by positive pro-
grams designed to foster and protect
it. We cannot continue to rely
upon Government expenditures,
Evening star., 1941-04-22

whether by way OF contribution or
loan, to sustain enterprise and pri-
vate employment unless we are
willing to invite eventually some
form of the authoritarian state. If
the opportunity for the employment
of Idle men and idle money is to be
found in a free. private enterprise
system, then, obviously, we must find
the way to stimulate that enter
prise by encouraging the investment
of private savings in new private
enterprise"
To accomplish this purpose the re-
port declares that 1.-The social de-
stability of new enterprise and
new employment is so great that
Congress can well consider the ad-
visibility of material reductions in
the rate of taxation on returns
which come from investments in
new. independent businesses" This,
in particular, is a suggestion of i'm
mediate importance The huge Gov
ernment expenditures now being
made for purposes of defense are
rapidly increasing new opportunities
for employment, but they are also
creating the conditions which will
produce a new and even greater
economic crisis when the time for
military preparedness has passed.
The workers, who are now being
mobiliZed for the manufacture Of
materials of war will have to find
other employment when we turn our
thoughts again to the problems of
peace. 1t is of the utmost impor-
lance. therefore, TO consider the
ways and means by which such op-
portunities for employment may be
created. 1t is doubtful if any method
can operate more effectively in this
direction than the adoption of tax
policy consciously intended to stimu-
late the investment of private
capital.
Excessively high rates of taxation
on income have the inevitable effect
of oiscouraging investment. A tax
policy which would offer a reward

Service employees. The general staff
of the committee was selected from
among the best trained experts to
be found. The subjects to be studied
were allocated by the full committee
among the agencies or to the special
staff and when material was ready
for presentation it was submitted to
the full committee under the di-
rection of the agency which had
prepared the study. Thus in every
instance, II and sometimes II men,
bers were sitting as judges to hear
the evidence with the preparation
of which they had had nothing to
do except to have participated in the
selection of the subjects for study.
In the very nature of the case,
therefore, witnesses who were sub
poenaed to testify found themselves
before a committee which was in
terested only in the development of
facts.
Industries CO-Operated.
Then the committee issued an
invitation to all industries which
cared to take advantage of the op-
portunity to present evidence in
their own manner. In response to
this invitation, the petroleum and
steel industries, for example, sub
mitted extensive material, all of
which has been published. The point
is that every effort was made to
develop as complete a story as pos
sible. OF course, the whole field
was not covered, but the final result
has been the assembling of a store
house of information on the eco
nomic system such as has never be-
fore been assembled. 1t would not
be surprising to the members of the
committee if the factual material
thus gathered may in the end be
of greater Importance than the
recommendations.
The members of the committee, "
says the final report, "are not rash
enough to believe that they can lay
down a program which will solve
the great problems that beset the
world, but they are convinced that
the information which this COM
mittee has assembled, when even
tually properly analyzed and dis
seminated, will enable the people
of America to know what must be
done if human freedom is to be pre-
served"
1t is in this phase of the report that
its immediate significance is prob
ably to be found. The war that now
threatens to engulf the world is a
result of the failure of business and
political leaders to find rational
answers to the questions this COM
mittee was appointed to study. We
were asked to study the causes of
economic insecurity and to find out
