hundred and fifty five million dollar
paid into the fund from the 2.7 pc
cent tax levied on the employers pa,
roll.
Unemployment will be a fact after
the present war is over. How acute
it will be, nobody knows, but it viii
be big enough.
Fifteen million workers unemployed
drawing an average of S14.00 a week
benefits from the Compensation fund
will amount to 21O million dollars pei
week and in eight weeks there will
be paid from the fund 1850 million
dollars, which is more than was paid
| into the fund from the tax on the
employers pay roll during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1913. In less
congress will have to vote money from
the Treasury, as a subsidy to the fund
to keep it from becoming bankrupt.
In the year 1911, the British Parlia-
ment controlled by the liberals, en-
acted the National Insurance act pat
termed after the Bismark program of
state socialism. Unemployment Com
pensation was part of the National
Insurance act and Lloyd George and
Winston Churchill were behind the
bill. The British Unemployment act
provides for tax on employers pay
roll and workers pay and the gov
eminent makes a donation to the fund
for every worker covered by the act.
The British Employment fund was
built up during World War No. 1, as
there was little, if any, unemployment.
When the war ended, rehabilitation
took place and war industries closed
up-then unemployment was exceed
ingly great.
In the year 1919, parliament had to
vote money from the national treas
ury, twice within six months to keep
the unemployment compensation fund
from becoming insolvent A total of
something like twenty three million
pounds sterling was voted.
For a number of years parliament
had to vote money to pay unemploy
ment benefits and the load became so
heavy that King George V. appointed
a Royal Commission to investigate the
and weaknesses of the
national insurance act. The Royal
lasting over two years made major
ity and minority report. The major
ity report which was approved by
parliament provided for cuts and re-
of unemployment benefits.
In April 1881, while the report of
the Royal Commission was being de-
bated in Parliament, Philip Snowden,
chancellor of the exchequor, a men,
Der of the Labor party, stated that he
the tax on the payroll in the
insurance bill was being considered.
Churchill, one of the authors
of Unemployment Compensation re-
piled to Snowden and is quoted as
saying:
after twenty years experience with
unemployment compensation, | am of
the opinion that the payroll tax is |
not the best way to finance the same"
A few months later in an attempt to
balance the budget the old age pen
sions were cut as were the teachers,
policemens', fire fighters and all civil
service employees, retirement benefits
and salaries The wages of the armed
forces were cut and in October 1881,

PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND
FULL EMPLOYMENT

and relieving the distress of depres
sion may seem simple ON paper. Upol
examination we find, however, TIVE
obstacles to the plan. In the frs
instance, where would the tax none,
come from to carry on the work pro
gram? Under such conditions the
public is already in distress. 1t is II
depression, without work and unable
even to buy the necessities of life.
The logical source for the tax il
the profits and reserves of big in
dustry. But if you do that you violate
the principles of free private enter
prise. While you actually did no
prevent large profits, you did take
them away after they were made. The
end result is that private enterprise
is not maintained.
In the second place, if the govern
ment carries on public work programs
to prevent unemployment, we again
interfere with private enterprise
which needs an abundance of labor
In fact, industry needs an army of
unemployed in order to keep labor
in line and make big profits.
The logical course suggests that if
we decide on private enterprise as
advocated by big industry, we must
also accept as inevitable, an army of
unemployed. For, as we already
stated, when the government under
takes to eliminate unemployment, it
seriously undermines the theory of
private enterprise as now advocated.
1t is about as logical to expect full
employment under private enterprise
as it is to expect general health
among all people so long as medicine
is sold to the highest bidder-a condi-
ton which will continue till we have
a public sponsored, publicly financed,
general health program.
What, then is to be done for the
unemployment float of three or more
million considered necessary to free
enterprise and for the others during
periods of slack times and depres-
sions?
A public work program financed by
taxes on excess profits is out both
because it takes away profits and be-
cause an unemployment float is neces-
sary to private enterprise.
During periods of distress one solu-
ton suggests itself: We can feed the
destitute on borrowed money secured
mortgaging the entire re-
sources of all the people.
Obviously, this again confronts US
with the problem of who is to pay the
debt A tax on the already destitute
would bring them closer and closer
to peonage. Taxing the excess prof
it's is again an attack on free enter
prise.
The next installment will be COM
plete statement of the solution of this
problem as proposed by the co-opera-
tive movement. We shall show how
the co-operatives relieve the danger
of depression and unemployment.
