PRIVATE ENTERPRISE | > * $
} T ... }f *
A leading industrial spokesman recently declared
that: “Unless the tax laws are modified to take into ac
count rehabilitation needs-and creation of reserves, then:
When the war is over there are going to be many dis-!
tressed plants.” The same opinion has been repeated
time and again. But the men who have experssed it in
variably make one grave mistake. They expect the pub
lice to be concerned over “distressed plants,” before they
hammer home the eternal truth that the public actually
has a greater interest in the plants than the owners for
the very simple reason that such plants contribute to .
private employment, stable prosperity, and are essential
to the operation of representative government.
No one cares particularly what happens to industry
itself. But everyone should care immensely What hap
pens to industry once it is clearly understood the part
industry—free, private industry—plays in maintaining
an economic and political system which guarantees lib
erty and equal opportunity to the individual citizen.
Private industry is the primary source of jobs. It
keeps the door of opportunity open to millions of Ameri
can citizens. It regards those who work and produce.
It does not interfere with political convictions. As a
result, our people are the most independent people in
th world. They will retain their independence only if
they retain private industry.
Due to the war, nearly one-fifth of the productive ca
pacity of this country is now owned outright by the gov
ernment. In plain words, a fifth of industry is already
socialized . When the war is over this area of socialism
will either expand or be gradually replaced by private
ownership. If it is not replaced by private ownership,
the American people will eventually lose their freedom.
They will w^ork for a single monopolistic employer, the
government. A gang of bureaucrats will demand politi
cal allegiance as the price of a job.
The public must eventually recognize these truths,

just as it must recognize that when a plea is made by a j
business man in favor of post-war rehabilitation reserve,
he is talking about something that involves the future
of the nation—not just the industry bank book.

GETS HIS IN HEAVEN
(By Allen M. Trout)
A child is bom in the neigh
borhood; the attending physician
gets $20. The editor gives the
loud-mouthed youngster and the
happy parents and send-off and i
gets $0.
When it is christened, the
clergy gets $1$, and the editor j
gets $00.
He grows up and marries. The ;
editor publishes another long- J
winded article and tells a doaen
lie* about fhe “beaufiful and ac
complished bride.” The clergy
man gets $10 and a piece of cailte,
and the editor get* $000.
In course of time he dies. The
doctor gets from $25 to $100, and '
- - g - - _ _
t x a . ^ * # - * --- ^ - xxxj
the undertaker gets from $50 to i
$200. The editor publishes a no
tice of his death and an obituary
two columns long, lodge and
society resolution, a lot of poet
ry, a free card of thanks, and ;
gets $0,000.
No wonder so many editors get i
rich. i
