Ulf I? St.. JT. W. .The "New Capitalism' As Johnston Sees It FRIC A. JOHNSTON, retiring president of the United States chamber of commerce let loose a veritable atomic bomb in his swan song at the recent annual meeting of the chamber at Atlantic City. He outlined the course he thinks capi talism must follow, if it is to survive in this country. And today as a result, while thou sands of businessmen and farmers and laborers hail his speech as one of the finest expressions of progres sive thought of the day . . . oth ers are still holding their heads in utter horror at the blasphemy which dropped from his lips . . . these are the monopolistic standpatters of the NAM, some of the frozen apos tles of special privilege in their plush chair club windows . . . some of the fat reactionaries of the house and senate . . . the lobbyists against the peoples' interests and the backward-lookers and normalcy advocates. Johnston's denunciation of capi talism as we know it in this country was complete and all-inclusive, and his concept of a new capitalism as fresh and revitalizing as a spring shower. And the evidence is all about us that unless and until capi talism pulls itself up into a pro gressive power it will die in our country as it has died a waning death in Europe. Here are some of Johnston's concepts: capitalism most change from a monopolistic concentration of power and inflnence in the hands of the few into a competitive eco nomic system designed for the enrichment of the many and not to make a few men rich. The whole process of thinking of. capitalism for the privileged few must be raised to a plane where re sponsibility to the public interest is the key word. . . . We must choose between the old capitalism that holds it has a closed and perfect system resting on con gealed and untouchable dogmas . . . against organized labor, against government activity, against com munity planning . , . and the new which must be a human institution, vibrant and evolutionary, capable of constantly adjusting itself to new conditions, justified by its works in stead of its words. ?A Tool of thm People' We must change from the old standpat conception of capital ism where people were merely the inert tools of the system to the new or progressive conception where the system is a tool in the hands of the people. We mast change from the old concept where man ran rough shod over the rights of others, to the new where the individual is a free agent bat not a free hooter, where man is more im portant than the machine or the products of the machine . . . where the primacy and dignity of man come first . . . We must turn from the old capi talism to recognize the supremacy of the individual and to recognize that modern mass production soci ety has caused individuals to band together for their well being into unions, corporations, farm organi zations, the co-operative, trade as sociations and professional soci eties. We must learn that these volun tary but powerful organizations are the core of America's new capital ism, but they must be regulated . . . the ideal way is a maximum of self-regulation and a minimum of government regulation setting up fair rules of the game. . . . Really Equal Opportunity Our new capitalism calls for competition, not in the nostalgia of the good old days of dog-eat-dog, i but with a basic ingredient of equal j opportunity . . . and there can be no equal opportunity without fair competition. We must turn from the old monopolistic competition which throttled competition of the little fel low to the new competition which provides opportunity for ideas, think ing, for inventive minds, which holds prices reasonable, makes bet ter living, stimulates, but never stymies opportunity. The new capitalism most mean greater diffusion af the gnod things of life, more people owning more things, the enrich ment of the many, and net to tho goal of making a few men rich. We are for a great middle class economy which means fewer people at the top and few er at the bottom . . .then what's the matter with a decent mini mum wage? We say we really want to see more diffusion of the good things of the world . . . then what's wrong with profit sharing? What's wrong with giving workers a real incentive to produce more for their own prof It .. . more people buying more . things so you can make more things which more and more people can buy . . . that's what it would mean. A NUMBER of new argument* ** and debates have arisen that call for further dissection and dis cussion before the cases are dis missed. Titer might be rated In this or der No. 1?What effect will the new union have on baseball and what job can it do? No. 2.?What are the prospects ahead for Messrs. Mauriello and Woodcock? No. 3?How does one account for the Yankee team batting average of .236, on a par with the hitless won ders?the White Sox of 1906?and 32 points below the Phillies of 1946? Starting with No. 1, there is noth ng any union can do about the fe serve clause, since baseball is a com petitive matter. But for all of that, the reserve clause shouldn't give big league clubowners the power to keep good ball players over time in minor leagues, which so many of them do. Also a ball Dlaver certainly deserves Crantland Bice a good section of his purchase price when sold to an other club. Also a ball player good enough to be moved up to a major league job among the 500 major league survivors deserves a mini mum salary not below $5,000 a year. A holdout also deserves a fairer court than he is getting to day. Against this, a badly run union can do more than a slight amount of damage. This is an intricate affair that requires careful consid eration. Moving along to query No. 2, the two main weak spots attached to Bruce Woodcock are inexperience in the way of tough competition and lack of ring aggressiveness. The British champion has his share of courage and boxing skill. He can also punch. But he has spent too much of his time against set-ups who could neither throw a punch or take one. He must learn, against better fighters than he met before Mauriello, how to continue an at tack, once started. The No. 3 Heavyweight Tami Mauriello is probably the best heavyweight left below Louis and Conn. Soft living and overeat ing haven't helped him any. He was equipped to be a far better fighter than he is today. At the age of 22 he could still be a much better fighter by removing surplus suet from tjis system through the brand of reconditioning that Tunney, Dempsey and Louis brought to the game. With Tami it is largely a ques tion of how hard he wants to work and train in order to be ready for one of the best openings any 22 year-old ringtnan ever knew. This is entirely up to Mauriello ?what price he is willing to pay in the way of hard work. This brings us to the case of the Yankees, one of the season's major mysteries to date. I saw them at spring training around St. Petersburg. The one worry that Joe McCarthy, Larry MacPhail or anyone else never faced was lack of the punch. Tbe old ash fifrniture was all in place. What pitchers were going to curb or suppress a batting order that included Joe DiMaggio, Charlie Keller, Tommy Henrich, Phil Riz zuto, Nick Etten and Johnny Lin dell, Joe Gordon, Snuffy Stirnweiss, the A. L. batting champ of 1945? Also Bill Dickey, one of the most dangerous hitters of all time in any clutch. A. Gang of Sluggers Yob had to admit this looked to be one of the hardest hitting lineups from top to bottom that baseball hat known In mtn) years. Their busy bats wrecked Panama and lat er on left a debris of battered fences and shattered palms and palmettos through Florida against big-league pitching. At least five from this group were potential punchers from .300 to .350. The others were above the 290 'mark. To find only one .300 hitter in this group ? Charlie Keller must be classed among the major upsets of the year. One answer?too much spring baseball, causing batting eyes that should be clear and keen in late May to be already stale and jumpy. They'll work out of this later, but so far the Yankees have paid a costly price when it comes to the rather important matter of base hits through the first part of the season. ? ? ? International Polo What's the chance for internation al polo on the old scale this summer or early fan? Pete Bostwick, who served for three years with the cav alry and tank corps, and a live wire in polo, thinks there's a pretty fair chance ahead against either Mexico or Argentina, or both. "Why not?" asks Pete. "We al ready have the basis for a good polo team in Stu Iglehart, Mike Phipps, Cecil Smith and some others. We also have some pretty fair polo ponies on hand. Posies for Bathroom From Yard of Chintz IT IS marvelous what you can do with a yard of flowered chintz. Just try cutting the posies out and spreading around for dramatic ef fect. Tint a faded bath fhat and apply a stunning big rose in one corner, use others on towels; then make shower curtains of plain material with more roses applied These intriguing ideas are from a 32 page booklet.
