What Mea1lS This Production? By BLEAKLEY w. RAINEY, L-614, AFL
 29 Godfrey Street, GrOtOn

It is claimed by the majority of experts that production" is what Is needed to stabilize our economy In U. s. A. at the present time.
 Night after night I listen to ra- dio commentators eulogizing capi- talism; they always call it Free Enterprise" or The American Way of Life" Calling . spade a hand operated excavatOr, leaves it still a spade, and if we call it a spade it is much easier to distin- guish 1t from a pick. Therefore in discussing Production it is well to simplify values by using terms that have a proven relationship to each other within a known system, ra- ther than founder among the quicksands of contemporary slo- gans which may mean something different to each individual who uses them. Unless we face this production issue fairly and square ly we cannot hope to stop the vilest elements in our social order from dragging us down to Capitalism at its worst.
 Completely uncontrolled capi- talism, or free enterprise, or what ever you care to call it, would as- suredly mean one step nearer to the self annihilation of capitalism. Because uncontrolled economic power would drive wage earners nearer and ever nearer, to that point where they would be will ing to sacrifice freedom for secur- ity, alleged or otherwise, ot totall- tarianism. The happy balance that can save us from such a threat IS surely worth trying to maintain. The maintaining of this balance is not to the interest of any one group or section, but to the interest of all.
 Whether we like it or not we have to look to world trends in sociology, because despite the par rot-like blah-blah about free en- terprise, and the American way, we cannot help from being influenced by sociological experimentation in other parts of the world.
 Bearing in mind that we are working under a social system, known as Capitalism in the field of economics and social science, we should remember that the clas- sical economists from Adam Smith onward maintained that free com

petition with no interference from the government fhe policy of "laiSSez-faire'' - "let alone"O was the best way of regulating the economic system. Left unchecked, they claimed, it would regulate it. self automatically, satisfying in the best possible way the material needs of the greatest number of people.
 Yet, it has been demonstrated again and again that complete hands-off policy on the part of the government does not ensure free competition. Indeed regula- tions like the Sherman Antitrust Act preserves rather than destroys, free competition. Two things can destroy free competition-too much control, and too little control.
 Competition to be free must also be fair. We do not match heavy weight against a bantam-Welght. Is it not wise to consider just how far unbridled competition can be trusted to help us toward Stabill- zation? For instance, when par ticular commodity is in abund- ance, competition among producers of that commodity is keen and cheapened production encouraged. On the other hand when a particu- lar commodity is scarce and all that , can be produced can be sold, then there is no immediate need, from the point of viSW of profit and loss to improve production methods. It might be said that incentive weaves in and through the whole fabric of production; therefore in trying to fix responsibility for loss of production, it is we'll to keep an eye on the incentive indicator If we are to believe that incen- tive is the keystone to effort, then we have to also believe that want of incentive is the stepping stone to laissez-faire. Manufacturers, like wage earners, react to incen- tive. The President of N. A. M. tells us that by removal of all con- LTO1S OuI CIO11O1AAJ WAL ONJNDU AO
 self to normal because of the op- eration of incentive. That would be all right if incentive to profit was synonomous with incentive to pro- duction, or improvement of prod uct, but 1t is not, because we know that there are innumerable ways i'll which profit can come by holding down production, and retarding improvement.
 Where is the incentive for an auto manufacturer to improve his
 product or expand against satura- ton point if he knows that there
 is a market for three or four times
 as many cars of his present model
 as he can produce in the next three
 or four years?
 Loss of production due to strikes
 is only one part of the story. No,
 all the loss in production is not due
 to strikes, not by a jug full.

 of the labor span is economic se- curity, and likewise the bridge structure of industry's span has for it's keystOne-stability; if eith- CT keystone fails we may find Our whole social order a shapeless heap of rubble tumbling into the water of social chaos.
 Production that loads the shelves with commodities for the spiders to weave webs around leads to stagnation, not to stability, yet in- creased production is the ultimate concrete result of labor and man agement working together in good faith, and that must be the answer if our capitalist economy is to sur vive!
