C.. a* aecc nd-daae matter. , LOOKING f AHEAD Fir GEORGE S. BEN SON ^ Prtsiitnt?Hardin) Cn/Ufa ? Start). Arkansas ?? ' Pilot Plant Higgins Industries, Inc., New Or leans shipbuilders, shut down three big plants and began early in No vember to "farm out" lorty million dollars worth of post-war business. In a tilt between two powerful labor unions, Andrew J. Higgins cast himself in the role of a bystander. His story was that industrial dis putes had made it practically im possible for him to operate at a profit. I am not taking up a cudgel for Higgins or either of the labor or ganisations. The squabble has not been settled yet and some new fac tors may be introduced. The detail of the news that interests me most is Mr. Higgins' offer to sell his plants to the unions. His proposi tion may have been seasoned with irony, but I am perfectly serious. I think it is a splendid idea. All the Essentials Just think: here stand three mod ern plants; new ones. They shelter acres of desirable ground with wa ter frontage. They have installed power, transmission lines, assembly equipment and tools. Such buildings can be adapted conveniently to the manufacture of many different items on a volume production scale. Labor is abundant and more workers are arriving'daily. Working capital is no longer a problem to working people. The unions have fabulous wealth, not even nicked by taxation. Senator Edward V. Robertson of Wyoming recently named a dozen unions whose treasuries, he said, contained more than 160 million dollars all told. With men, money and machinery, the idea is feasible. One of these < idle plants might be kept busy sub- : contracting Higgins' unfilled orders. Union's Big Chance By going in business on their own < account, unions have much to gain. ' .For example: Nearly all labor or ganizations uphold principles upon which they disagree with orthodox , business executives. The details . Include plant organization, retire ment plans, vacations and medical service besides wages and hours. ' Who will argue that these plana do not deserve to be tried experiment- .' ally? Most Industrial leaders of today are self-made men. Many of them skated on thin ice occasionally in the early heats of their business , race. They had principles and they had courage and they took chances. Their venturesome spirits were sup ported by faith in their principles. , Why should not some trade union take over a desirable plant some where and demonstrate its theo ries? History to be Made Quite a few labor leaders advo- , cate new economic principles. They ! insist that their plans can not fail if faithfully pursued. Now, for once t in a thousand years, come chances to prove the valua of these new principles to an eager world. It can bo tried independent of conven tional sources of capital. Almost any union has more cash reserve now than most big corporations had when i*kv started. If neither of the Gulf Coast plants is suitable, one of the eight being of fered by the RFC at Chicago might be better. Any place, where work ing men develop a new system bet ter than the old, will be hallowed ground. Certainly America stands at the crossroads industrially. Every patriotic citizen hopes we , choose the right course. Will the unions now stake their wealth on their principles? Produce The family (not the state) is the i social and economic unit in the United States. In this respect our country stands almost alone. Prance went collectivist in the au tumn election. England went col lectivist last August Russia has been collectivist since shortly after World War L Germany and Japan art no longer powers. America is the one powerful stronghold of lib erty for the individual Old-world politicians glibly pre dict that Uncle Sam will be next to follow Russia's example, but they don't know America. Income per person here is twice that of any oth er country. Even before the recent war, industrial wages in America were twice as high as in England; four times as high as in Russia. Our national income was bigger thaa that of any six other countries > ? you pick 'em. A Relative Matter In its early stages, communism always is perfumed with a savor of freedom ? freedom from some thing. Britain has more liberty than Prance today; rrance more than Russia. Even the Russians may feel better in a delirium of paternalism than butchered by re peated revolutions, but that's not saying much. A convalescent can be better than an invalid but still not be envied bv a well man. England used to have free, pri vate enterprise but the government tinkered with it until it was no long er free. Taxes squeezed corpora tion profits until the owners could not keep their plants modern. As a result, volume could not grow and wages could not rise. The unhappy workers finally gave the nation a staggering swig of Russia's political vodka and elected a state-owner ship parliament. An Invalid Republic France, the world's habitual bat tle ground since Caesar, had an other problem. Her small business men and farmers (many of them, at least) preferred open competi tion but the country's capitalists were bankrupt by years of German occupation. To get going after the war, the French submitted to gov ernment, the only power v.-ith au thority, to assemble the needed cc;> ital and set up credit to do busi ness. No such ? difficulties face t' ? American people. Our factories are still financed, can yet keep mcl?r '. Our land has harbored no pitc .? army. This nation has little to fc ? but cheap labor; not here, cf course, but abroad. Collectivism means cheap labor ? wages uri form and Jow. Such countries can imitate American products, moke them poorly and sell them cheaply right in America if we permit. Forget the Tariff This same set of facts has been presented by people plugging for a high protective tariff but that's only a crutch. The modern, 16-cylinder method for beating cheap-labor competition is to produce. Amer icas skilled workers using Amer ica's costly machinery can turn out any manufactured product, in bet ter quality and at a lower cost than is possible in a cheap-labor setup. There is a collectivist theory that manufacturers will make too much profit for the good of society unless their workers slow down production. It is not true. No friend of Labor will put any obstruction in the way of maximum production because it is the road over which men must march to better wages and higher living standards. It is also this na tion's escape from collectivism which brings slavery.
