WAKE UP, AMERICA!
Con U. S. Operate Big Business,
Not Control Little Business?
As Debated by
SAMIyET, CRnWTHER

SAMUEL CROWTHER, &
Celebrated Writer, Author Of Time to
Inquire"
Mr.. Crowther Opens: The pro-
posal that Government operate big
business but leave little business to
its own devices is naive. 1t assumes
that badness springs from bigness
and goodnes from littleness and re-
solves the whole economic problem
into substituting good men for bad
men-defining a good man as one
with Government job.
Let us assume this is SO and that
Government is an all-wise entity and
not just mixed bunch OF glorified
ward heelers and orphans Of the
academic cloisters. Business is not
something apart from our lives 1t is
only ourselves organized to produce
and exchange the things needed for
our material existence.
Production is now directed by the
consumers purchasing power which
is only another name for his pro-
ductiye power. II Government
should take over "big" business the
only change aside from the killing OF
the redirecting Of initiative and am
bition, would be new mass of pol
itical jobs and more taxes. If, how
ever, Government should agree to
provide living for each individual
1t would be forced to require min
imum contribution from the indi-
vidual. That might be freedom, but
we used to call it slavery. In neither
setup is there any more place for
little business than there is for big
business. ....
DR.. Ladder Challenges: Mr.. Crow
ther enormously assumes that ad-
vocates of Government operation of
big business look upon mere bigness
as bad. They urge Government con-
troll because under the sway of big
business the American people have
suffered from widespread insecurity,
unjust inequality, wanton waste and
autocratic industrial controls. They
believe that these can be largely
eliminated if the people, through
their duly constituted political agen-
cies, take charge of the big business
units and operate them not for pri-
vate profit but for public welfare.
Democratic control, as seen from
Scandinavian experience, stimulates
initiative, strengthens democratic
institutions and greatly increases the
freedom of the people.
Mr.. CrOwther Replies: DR.. Ladder
really Identifies bigness with bad
ness-unless the bigness be under
democratic control" But demo-
cratic control is a philosophical alb
straction; in practice it means polit-
ical control. That means either con-
fiscating property to provide more
political jobs or confiscating prop
erty in order to ration both effort
and reward. In the first case indi-
vidual freedom becomes negligible
In the second case freedom becomes
whatever teacher says it is-as one
of Napoleon's marshals said to a
conquered town, Il bring you the
perfect liberty. But be prudent. I
shoot the first man who stirs" That
is the sort of freedom which DR..
Ladder, in citing Sweden, has in
mind.

mn HARRY wTATDDER

DIR. HARRY w. LADDER,
] Executive Director, League for Industrial
| Democracy.
DIR. Ladder opens: A few years
ago 1t was pointed out that there
were 200 giant non-banking cor
porations in the country with as
sets of over 500, 900 each. These
were 200 giant banking cor
the big business" industrial enter
prlses of this, country.
Over 40 of these corporations were
operating In the railroad field; over
SO, among our electrical, telephone,
telegraph and other public utility
services, were natural monopolies
abound. More than 80 were en-
gagged in the exploitation Of our
natural resources and in the con-
version of these resources into fin
ished products. If the Government
ran all of these mammoth corpora
tions, 1t would, in no sense. follow
that Government control would have
to be extended over the millions of
small concerns operating IN the
fields Of agriculture, retail distri-
button manufacture and handicrafts.
On the contrary, these concerns
would, by this act, be freed from
the exactions of many private mo-
nopolies and great corporate units.
This has been abundantly proved
by the experience of scores Of other
countries where government enter-'
prise, voluntary consumers and pro-
ducers' co-operatives and private
proflt-making undertakings have
long existed side by side.
Mr.. Crowther challenges: Dr.
Ladder does not explain big" mo
nopoly' or government" He con-
fuses size and monopoly. But
thrusting that aside, how can he
build half-world of free business
enterprise on foundation of gov
ernmental monopolies-forh he would
substitute real monbpolies run by
politicians for the phantom monopo-
lies of private enterprise. If a frac-
ton of our economy is rum by the
Government, all other enterprises
must inevitably be subsidiary to the
Government. Small business can
exist only by suf1erance. DR.. Laid
ler properly emphasizes exist" I
challenge him to cite any national
economy, no matter how trivial,
which has progressed under demi-
socialism.
DR.. Ladder replies: In answer to
Mr.. Crowthers challenge, may I
point to three democratic countries
in Europe which, before the present
war, were universally regarded as
among the most progressive among
the advanced nations of the world
Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
These had semi-socialist economies,
with public, cooperative and pri-
vate enterprises all playing their
respective roles.
Today there is no industrialized
country in which a fraction of the
national economy is not under gov
eminent control. Where such con-
troll exists there is no thought of
going back to domination by pri-
vate monopolies. phantom" or 9TH
erwise. The cry is forward to demo-
cratic control of big business for
the welfare of all.

$500 striking members of the So

the threat Of sympathy strikes in
Cleveland and Toledo. @
Mr.. Gill called on members Of
the MESA and the UAW alike to
cooperate in avoiding violence, In
timidation ''or any other action
which will tend to interfere with
production.
Mr.. Smith had attributed the
wave of strikes to forcible election
OF four MESA members from an
aircraft plant operated by the Briggs
Manufacturing Co. A UAW spokes-
man admitted members of his union,
which has an exclusive bargaining
contract with the company, ushered
the four to the plant gates after
they had posted MESA handbills on
a UAW bulletin board.
Eight other MESA members
walked out at the same time, Mr..
Smith said, fearing physical vio-
lence, and the sympathy strikes af-
