THE COST-PLUS ERA In the midst of much still unre solved darkness it is worth . while chronicling the first faint rosy fingers of the dawn of a new and better ' time For there are now obvious signs that we are passing out of the cost-plus or heads-I-win-tails-you lose era into the sweeter light of a better day For three years we have known this cost-plus system not only as an economic fact but as a general state of mind and a very general one. We have all seen It in its opera tions you in your little corner and I mine in particular specific f ra ' srrant cases told bv local gossip. , So " we all know it now. There were the shipyard scandals millions and tens of millions of dol lars; the military barracks and.hos . pitals; the work that nobody thought .to stop when the war was done. You know these things everybody knows them. They were not criminal neces sarily or even vicious in all cases, They were first of all the natural na tive products of the cost-plus, heads I-win-tails-the-government tnat is, everybody else -loses frame of mind. There were those and are still who dreamed that this thing was go ing on forever. There was a terri . ,ble temptation in it to frail human nature, and it is greatly ' creditable to the American people that there are signs that we understand , the thing and are turning against it. Take, for example, i the recent' rail road bill returning the roads to pri at ownership. Here for two years had been in operation the cost-plus system on its grandest scale. Here to both elements immediately con cerned there was every urge of the heads-I-win-tails-you-lose impulse of human nature to throw the whole thing into government ownership; to do a thing in fact much easier than that merely to arrange to let it stay where it was. ' ' For one party at interest this meant assured and doubtless larger '. ; wages; for the other guaranty of in vestment in a much-troubled finan cial time. Theoretically it might have seemed certain that these two' special interests would unite, and, in the usual default of general opposition, load their burden on the government and slip happily away. That this did not happen, that the whole campaign in that direction was overwhelming ly defeated in Congress is a striking monument to the traditions and horse sense and courage of the American people. But also it is, before this, a monu went to another thing the wide spread almost universal observation 1 in this country of the actual opera : tion of human nature in the indi vidual working; for the government; of what might be called the soul of man under socialism. It was not under actual socialism no. But it lacked, in its work for the general mass Of men, for its gov ernment, no altruistle impulse which socialism in practice would afford. It had in fact the unusual and much stressed stimulus of the call to ser vice of history's mest heroic age. We know, we saw, just how the soul of man functioned under that impulse in practice in our own industries. This spectacle has cost us billions ef dollars. It was no doubt worth that. For we have seen now, as closely as we ever need to, the soul f man under socialism; not as Oscar Wilde saw it in his beautiful and ' wonderfully presented vision of some dream-made soul, but the common, or garden, soul of man as it actually goes to its work day after day under the vague general impulse of altru- ,-. ism: . It was worth it yes all that it oat us I Hereafter no on can swing along the fancy of this generation, in (he United States at least, with the Id recurrent rhapsodic prophecy of Utepi the fair Elysiaa fields, t) flashing new tJersaief y- wkerejfj,' ciety j function smoothly. arA umnhantly through the urge of ',, - truism on the happy formula; "FrtA." each according to his abilities; ,ti, each according to his need." It f the vision beautiful the sang -t songs, man's favorite , dream. would be wonderful indeed if I' soul of man worked that way and altruism. But it does not. Net y. , by some thousand years!
