MAXIMUM MATERIAL THINGS,
EQUALITY FOR ITS PEOPLE
New York City.—The Swedish
economy has afforded rood health,
rood recreation, rood houainr,
rood education, security, and
equality of opportunity, not for
the few but for the many.
This is the main theme ex*
pressed by Arnold S. Zander,
president of the AFL's State,
County, and Municipal Employee
Union, in the sixth and final arti
cle in a series prepared for the
Workers Education Bureau of
America on the reneral topic,
"Sweden: Labratory in Eco
nomic Democracy.”
Portions of Mr. Zander’s arti
cle follow:
“The Swede* have moat ad
vanced social and economic order
because they have few rich people
and no poor. They have achieved
an amazing measure of equality.
“They do not have the sumptu
ous dwelling* of our well-to-do,
but neither does one find alums.
They have- both less splendor and
leas misery. It may be said that
enjoyment is less excessive but it
must be added that, comfort is
more generdl. He who would de
fend full freedom for the moun
tain lion and the wolf would be
uncomfortable for a time in
Sweden, where the order of things
is such that domestic animals can
make their contribution without
being constantly in danger of at
tack. Monopolies do not exist in
Sweden except as public enter
prises, but competitive enter
prises are freer there.
“Sweden is not a land of slo
gans and catch phrases. The 'en
terprise system’ needs to be de
fined and must be shown to con
tribute to economic stability or it
has no charm for them. They use
it where it works to advantage,
in the area* where free competi
tion actually obtains. To them,
communism is not 'Red Fascism,’
another catch phrase, but a sys
tem which destroys personal lib
erty and freedom. The Swedes
have a way of judging commun
ism by its destruction of freedom
and not by the roil of the words.
“To them the ‘American enter
prise system,’ as ordiifarily de
scribed by business leaders, un
disciplined, uncontrolled by consu
mer co-operative competition and
public yardstick operations, would
mean booms and busts and finally
a depression so deep that there
would be no recovery, but only
mass unemployment, disillusion
ment. chaos, and dictatorship.
"Sweden points the way in
temj>ering capitalism, in building
automatic controls in the compe
titive system, in equalising op
portunities, and in advancing the
historc trend toward equalty.
“When I asked why they had
done some of the tnings they have
I was told that they arc* a poor
people and could not afford an
other depression. They said, ‘If
we were to have the kind of de
pression you are going to have
in your country it would mean
ruination and the loss of our
rights and privileges. We hope
your great wealth will carry you
through. We don’t have such
wealth.’ They were forced by
their poverty, they said, to defend
themselves against chaos by prop
erly adjusting their economic sys
tem.
“I asked them how it was that
(.hey were able to take such for
ward steps. They pointed out
that they had not left in private
hands the power to stand against
advances which goes with the
ownership and control of monop
oly industries. They have been
able to gain a sense of assurance
about the future by removing
forces opposed to progress.”
