resembled "battlefield" with
scenes of devastation exceeding
even those left by the German
Luftwaffe at Rotterdam, Warsaw

the public interest will require an extra
effort by private enterprise. 1t has
right to insist that SO far as possible the
government limit itself to formulating
the rules of the game and supervising
their enforcement. More then that, it
insists that the rules be so devised that
they stimulate rather than suppress the
immense motive power OF individual In
itiative and ambition.
LABOR'S NEW ROLE
'In the new capitalism labors role is
becoming more clearly defined. The re-
cognition is growing that labor organiza-
tions when formed and administered
with a sense of public responsibility, can
be useful cooperative element IN max
ing the nations productive machine more
efficient Labor, in a sense, Is going
through the same process of growth and
adjustment through which management
has passed, and can learn lesson from
arrangements experience. Labor need
only observe what happened to manage
mnt whenever its mistakes and excesseS
have collided with the larger public good
to be fOrWarned against mistakes and
eXceSSeS on its own part. Like every
other segment in the mosaic of American
society, labor surely will live up to the
social responsibilities that come with
growth and power.
JOINT OBLIGATIONS
Management and labor must come to
understand that they can't have freedom
of action without accepting the obliga
tion that freedom entails. The survival
of a free society within which both have
their being and their chance for progress
is at stake in such an undertaking.
"In the present crisis of wartime and
in the decisive years that will follow the
inevitable victory, we have vital
part to play and duty to perform. At
tacks on the looming dangers of super
statism are so much futile failing of
water unless it is matched in full measure
by conservative effort to meet social prob
lens of our time.
Fortunately we are likely to have a
breathing spell for intelligent planning.
In the years Immediately after the vic
tory, America is likely to have a period
of relative prosperity-by reason of i'm
mense accumulated purchasing power
and an immense backlog of unsatisfied
demand for goods.
1--WE must prepare now to utilize the in
terva to improve the mechanism of COM
petitive capitalism"
The man who summarized our econ
omic future in the above words, was not
a college professor. He was not a New
Dealer, labor leader or bureaucrat He
was, on the contrary, Eric A. Johnston,
president of the chamber of commerce of
the United States.
1t is heartening and stimulating that
business leader should be the one to pene-
trate the fogs of confusion and doubt,
and so lucidly and reasonably point the
road into the future.
Mr.. Johnston's concept is just about
the best that has come to our attention
for long time.

AN OUTLINE OF THE
new ECONOMIC ERA

Not long ago a prominent American
made a speech. Many paid little atten-
tion. His words were not too widely her
aided through the press.
This casual treatment was, we believe,
a mistake. What the speaker voiced was
of great Importance because it reflects a
rare vision of the future, comprehensive
understanding of forces at work. and
fine grasp of the obligations which must
be placed upon all groups if our way of
life is to endure.
1t is impossible here to reproduce his
entire talk. But the gist of it is contained
in the following excerpt which is heartily
recommended for everyone's thoughtful
consideration.
That the wisdom of his remarks may
stand upon their own merits. identified
tion of the speaker will be withheld until
the conclusion.

and the inference is that the can

the sidelines in this dispute, feeling
rather desperate about the situa-
ton, wondering how more food is
going to be produced in the heavy

ton can't be found in the light

son now at hand.
Maybe it is unpatriotic to bring

FOUNTAINHEADS OF STRENGTH


FOUNTATNHEADS OF STRENGTH
"Our economic set-up will remain alive
and dynamic only as long as we make
sure that the fountainheads of its
strength are not blocked OF polluted.
What are these fountainheads? They are,
in the first place, the right and oppor-
tunity for every individual to take the
risks and reap the rewards of individual
initiative E. In the second place. those
fountainheadS are the right to free and
open competition between individuals and
groups under strict rules of fair play.
And they imply, finally, the right of
every member of the economic communi-
ty to function without artificial interfer-
ence and petty persecution-the right of
management to manage, OF labor to dis
pose of its working power, or capital to
seek wholesome and useful outlets
THE NEW CAPITALISM
"Too many of us talk of capitalism as
if it were an absolute, the same way to-
day as it was yesterday and as it will be
tomorrow. Too many of us talk of COM
petition as if it were an absolute without
degrees and shadings. Nothing could be
more misleading and harmful. Along with
our spirited defense of the basic free
enterprise concepts must go an intelli-
gent appreciation of this continuous evol-
ution.
"Only the willfully blind can fail to
see that the old-style capitalism of a
primitive freebooting period is gone for
ever, the cIpitalisns of complete laissez-
faire, which thrived on low wages and
maximum profits for minimum turnover.
which rejected collective bargaining and
fought against justified public regula-
ton of the competitive process, is a thing
of fhn oCf Thnc nH1rlr could f,1r hoo IL
the clock of history in this respect are as
unrealistic in their way as the addle-
Drained paper planners of our economic
salvation.
american Economy is constantly
evolving and expanding. We have all
suffered acute growing pains in these
last few decades Today it is gearing
itself for low profits on great turn
over. The fair distribution of the prod
ucts and the wealth flowing from the
industrial process cannot be left wholly
to chance, but must be made one of the
essential detectives of industrial plan
ming. American economy cannot reject
responsibility for the employment and
well-being of the men and women w\o
take part in it: those who supply the raw
materials, those VINO do the manual labor,
those who do the brain work, those who
manage enterprise. It must accept this
responsibility as an intrinsic part of its
function
"The new capitalism is shedding
the last trace of its nostalgia memory of
unbridled individualism. It acknowl-
edges that the severe economic and social
dislocations accompanying war and de
preston during the last quarter of a
century have caused government to as
sumo responsibilities which necessarily
tend to burden and hamper the capital
istic mechanism
