industrial system, based upon
q community Of interests, In
which ''the right to strike"
would seldom have reason to be
invoked. Indeed, a rational
and just integration Of interests
would reduce the function of
unions--and Herewith the
often arbitrary power Of union
ders--drastically. But few
people with power seek its re-
duction. And therefore trade
unions often exercise a reac-
tionary influence against inno-
vations that might greatly inn
prove the status Of workers.
The curbing of their power
does not necessarily. or under
all conditions. initiate against
the workers. They are not in
fallible minds, nor devoid Of
egoistic ambitions.

A lively opposition. described
as q revolt against taxes, is
in progress in France where
taxes are high and internal
revenue collections are low.
The individualistic French
have always frowned on con-
tributing directly toward the
upkeep Of their government.
They compare the income tax
with levies made indiscrim-
inately on the people by the
former kings and emperors.
Since the last war the
French have become accus-
toned to receiving large sub
sides from the United States,
But as the fiow OF dollars from
Uncle Sam gradually declines
the French government is
faced with the unpleasant me-
cessity Of trying to make up
at least part Of the difference
from the pockets Of its gain
full citizens.
No such situation Is expected
to develop In this country
not only because we are diSci-
plined and law-abiding people,
but also because we have been
accustomed for nearly Is years
to doling out vast sums to all
who ask assistance.
In some instances our altru-
istic Government does not even
balk when 1t does not receive
due credit for the billions it
hands out. For instance. at
the end Of the last war we
sent food. clothing and farm
equipment through the UN-
RRA to countries behind the
Iron Curtain. Oul. represent

The cynical in our midst
who speak Of American busi-
nessman as standpatters or
ultraconservatives, timid about
change and hesitant to move
forward, would have been dis
illusioned If they could have
attended the luncheon given
by General Motors to several
hundred Of the top industrial
and financial executives Of the
country.
Something Of the imagina-
tion and boIdness In planning
which has made America the
most powerful nation indus
trially in the world was re-
fiected In the speeches made
by Harlow H. Curtice, presi-
dent, and Alfred P. Sloan, jr..
chairman Of the board Of the
General Motors Corp.
Sitting in the audience was
Charles E. Wilson, former
president of the corporation
and now the Secretary Of De-
Tense and. If anybody had any
doubt about that famous mis-
quotation which was so widely
circulated. ne must have had
such doubt removed. For 1t
was plain from the speeches
that what is good for America
Is what General Motors con-
siders paramount for itself.
Thus, just a year ago when
the prophets of gloom were
shaking their heads and pre-
dieting q depression. Mr.. Cur
tice stood before the same
group Of business men and pre-
dicted that there would be a
continuing high level Of en-
ployment and consumer ex-
penditures, with unprecedented
housing activity and a gross ma
tional product not far from
the 1858 level. But he startled
his audience then by announc-
ing that General Motors was
planning an expansion pro-
gram Of 81 billion, which has
since grown by a half billion.
Such was his confidence in the
future.
This time Mr.. Curtice was
able to say Il told you so."

The trade-union movement
grew out of the monopoly Of
economic power welded by
the owners Of capital and their
managerial agents.
Employers thought Of them
selves as the creators of labor
opportunity and therefore, by
right, the sole determiners Of
It's working conditions. II a
man didn't like the conditions
he had q perfect fright" to
quit--as an individual.
Capital interests were or
ganized, and even in the com
petitive" system there was
tacit agreement not to "scab"
by stealing workers through
offers Of superior benefits.
When Henry Ford radically
upped the wages Of his en-
ployes many Of his fellow
industrialists considered him
little better than a Bolshevik.
The worker. then, dependent
for the means Of his existence
upon organized bodies. could.
as an individual, do nothing to
improve his lot except to out
work his fellow employees and
advance over them through
the grace Of his. managers,
while setting a maximum work
standard, as a norm" for the
rest.
This was capitalism" as
practiced from the rise of the
industrial revolution through
out the nineteenth century.
It created hitherto unheard of
wealth. But 1t also created a
new and peculiarly debased
form Of poverty: proletarfan-
ism. The worker was no longer
q NAH with his own tools. but
q beggar for access to the new
great tools owned by others.
Nobody with heart or con-
science could affirm that this
condition was ethically sup
portable. and no one with a
brain In his head could believe
that a durable society could be
constructed upon such eco
nomic foundations. The Chris
tian churches, Catholic and
Protestant. perpetually de-
nounced It. despite the tenn
porizing Of their ethical con-
victions TO practical considera-
tions Of those who financially
supported them. Political phi
losophers clearly saw that So
ciety was creating within It.

his most significant statement
was III relation to -the eco

tional economic policies re-
preston of industry. lack of
appreciation Of the great force
and power Of expanding the

we are entering an era wherein

many things that have held
: us back for so many years.
MY plea to you gentlemen is.
this: Let us plan boldly in

Don't let's wait until the thing

1t is going to. happen and let's
60 ahead and do the job before
it happens. In that way the

This was a fitting supple-
fnent to the predictions Of
business growth made by Mr..
Curtice as he declared that the
population by 1862 may total
1874 million and that the NUM-
ber of households should in
crease from 48 to 81 million,
creating q tremendous de-
mand for homes. motor vehi-
cles and other goods and
services"
Nowhere in the world. as
the speakers indicated, has any
industrial group demonstrated
such faith In the economy OF
its nation OF such confidence
in its own future as has the
automobile industry
It was an inspiring sermon Of
true progressivism for all busl-
ness and industry.

aliens, who one day would vio-
lently overthrow or undermine
it by apathy. Such percipience
was as common to thinking
conservatives as to revolution
ary radicals.
The trade-union movement
was an inevitable development.
Karl Marx believed this move
inent, spearheaded by the lad
vance guard" of Communists,
would be the instrument for
violently overthrowing the en-
tire structure of the "bour-
geois-d democratic" state. Prus-
sian that he was. he could not
imagine any substitute for this
system except total control
Of the economy by an all
powerful state ruled by leaders
Of the '''proletariat." Nothing
Of the kind has happened any
where except by force In the
midst Of war. The democratic
state has been, In fact, the
instrument through which
workingmen have established
and legitimized their rights.
The welfare Of the workers has
become an increasing concern
Of industrial managers even
for purely practical reasons.
Owners tcapitalists) and
their managerial agents simply
don't WELD exclusive control
over capitalist" economies to-
day. Control is exercised by q
balance between ownership,
management, organized labor,
and government. And ironically
(though / think logically) the
monopoly state capitalism Of
the Communist coun tries
bears, in relation to labor. a
closer resemblance to the capi-
talism that Marx denounced
than does that Of any other in
dustrial society.
But the trade-union move
ment that grew up within the
capitalist economy still bears
the marks OF its origin
Its spirit is still directed in
large measure against capital
ism" even though the interests
of workers and their leaders
are involved In its maintenance.
II still envisages the workers"
as q class apart from the rest
Of society. II has q vested m
terest IN maintaining the ex-
istenHe Of the "proletariat. In
stead Of seeking It's abolition.

For his 1854 predictions as to

General Motors crossed the 10

whole industry produced close

Mr.. Curtice Is optimistic
