Nome, Alaska, January 30, 1917.
t-'ltnM AN KX-PKKSIDKNT.
Speaking at Providence, H. I.,
last month former President Taft
delivered himself of his views con
cerning the railroad situation.
His views are very interesting be
cause they are the views of men
who have no ability whatever to see
but one side of this economic con
flict.
He said among other things: “The
danger to American economic
strength through the tendency of
union labor to place Itself abote
law and order is one big cloud on
our horizon. The highest tribunal
in the nation has been notified that
unless the Adamson law is upheld
the threatened railroad strike will
be enforced”. The address in which
those pregnant remarks were issued
was naturally enough before the
Chamber of Commerce.
Now President Taft intimated a
tact when he said that the danger
to the American economic strength
lay in the ability of the unionist
workers to strike. It is of course
unnccesary to point out that he
quite subtly accused them of law
lessness in doing a perfectly legal
action, but that is neither here nor
there. Taft's candor as usual let
the cat out of the bag. These are
<lays of imperial commercialism,
when trade reaches out beyond the
confines of the flag and dominion is
sought for in foreign markets for
American industry. That dominion
will be greater or lesser in propor
tion as the American miltary and
the American economic strength
backs up the enterprise of Amer
lean businessmen.
Military and naval strength by
judicious waving of the flag, pre*
paredness agitation and prudent ex
ercise of a patriotic propaganda can
tie successfully imposed upon the
people. The military and naval
strength is safe. But the economic
strength is an entirely different
matter. American employees now
and then even in the best dominated
American industries have an ugly
habit of bucking the traces and un
til the waywardness of American
labor is suitably curbed and well
tamed and domesticated by prudent
laws in the interest of big business
the economic strength is a doubtful
matter.
Assuredly the power to organize
and to organize to strike Is the great
danger which the economic strength
of the capitalists suffer from, and
Taft submits that for that reason
businessmen should bethink them
selves of some way of curbing that
power. He utters some remarks
about law and order, but those are
only to manure the ground so that
the seed which may be sown in the
intellects of those whom be addres
sed will bear fruit a thousand fold.
It is under quite a less candid
guise that men, with more preten
sions to fairness and impartiality
than Judge Taft, have advocated the
same policy under the name of In
dustrial Preparedness or some other
such glittering but deadly general
ity. And all so that Top Capitalism
could be still further enriched at
the expense of the masses of the
people.
It is not a wild assertion that has
recently been made that democracy
is facing today more deadly dangers
than ever before in the history of
the country or the world. Certainly
the aims and the ideals which are
today finding high favor are menac
ing to a degree..
Those ideals are uttered with free
dom by Big Business which in turn
has gained the support of those who
formerly advocated no. such policies.
Big business, as far as Big Busi
ness is concerned, is right. Big
Business knows that control of the
domestic trade is absolute, but such
domestic trade is as nothing to the
possibilities of foreign trade. The
extraordinary profits which have
come from foreign trade expansion
since the war began revealed pos
sibilities which very few except the
most ambitious American firms have
ever realized before, and for that
reason it is determined that larger
and larger must be the scope of the
American business enterprises if the
same eollosal profits are to be
maintained. Trade with China and
the Far East, trade with South and
Central America, trade with Africa
and Europe and Asia, these fields
are to be sought for conquest by
American business.
As the top capitalist sees it, there
fore, quite naturally he would first
of all develop in American industry
a condition of positive efficiency
which would be able to perfect pro
duction and distribution. That such
efficiency is to be obtained and at
tained at tlie expense of the work
ers is wholly immaterial. The un
restricted exploitation of labor is the
most successful of all systems of
exploitation and hence it would be
fatal if archaic conceptions of hu
man and individual liberty, ancient
conventions as to civil or personal
rights or any such inefficient politi
cal or industrial encumbrances
were allowed to put the brakes
upon the onward sweep of all con
quering American business.
The workers, functioning in this
scheme as labor producing profits
for American business men. have
to be considered solely in that
light. Their activities must be cur
tailed to within definite limits of
efficient production and their liber
ties lircnmscribed by the demands
of commercial imperialism.
It is their duty and their func
tion and their hereditary portion to
defend as soldiers the property of
American owners, to be taught suit- ]
able ideals of right and wrong
which are the moral reflex of the
economic rights and wrongs of top
capitalism. Historical stimuli of
properly written records should be
made to inspire faith in the ulti
lOrt't ideals of big busine" and the
.-•I'hools shoivd be adjusted so that
they would effectively inculcate the
civic ideals that Big Business re
quires should be the inspiration of
their working people. The machin
ery of government should be the
properly adjusted to the require
ments of big business and such laws
as would extend, propagate and
encourage trade with foreign lands
and make the productive capacity
of American mills oversway that of
any other nation should be properly
passed and approved. Disturbing
questions in dispute as to property
and the relations of the exploited
person to the exploiter should be
brought promptly and clearly within
the purview of conservative jurists
who would disabuse the exploited
persons of any refractory notions
inherited from false and archaic
theories of personal liberty or per
sonal rights.
Back of all this should be a
powerful military machinery estab
! lished for the purpose of preserving
order, suppressing discontent and
keeping the workers in their places
i so that they may realize that the
| earth and the fullness thereof was
I destine^ by the Almighty for those
whom he has placed in high posi
tions and in control of Immense pro
fit making agencies.
In this way the economic strength
of capitalism may be devoted en
tirely to the function of making
money so that the wealth of the ca
pitalists may know no bounds and
their power be uncircumscribed ac
cordingly.
That is the great ideal Just now
unfolding its wonderful and 9pulent
beauties to full blossoming before
the admiring gaze of the public.
The ideal is of course to make Am
erica rich, and richest in the world,,
and to understand by America, not
the masses of the people, but the
few who control the country.
It is the menace that a railroad
strike presents to such an ideal that
calls forth the objections and em
phatic remonstrances of Judge Taft.
He sees that labor possessed of cer
tain rights, believing in certain
rights as inalienable is a great
source of danger to the American
capitalist’s economic strength and
he is undoubtedly right.
