THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1919 “BUY WISELY BUT BUY NOW!” New Peace Time Prosperity Slogan Urged For . x “There Must Be No'Sabotage by Capital or Labor,” Advises Roger Babson, Noted Economist BY ROGER W. BABSON Head of the Information and Educa, tion Service, U. S. Dept. of Labor While congress has been busy inves- tigating Bolshevism, the executive de- partments of the government, under direction of the president, have been earnestly trying to prevent its spread. Instead, however, of merely scolding about it, these depart tments have been endeavoring to remove the cause for its existence) naniely, by extending portunities, reduging prices and pro- ing employment. wone thing—however—has seriously handicapped some of the federal de-| partments in their efforts to gnpreve the situation., There is an apparent} attempt at sabotage from certain new} quarters. By “sz ie! attempt to des! to perform work or otherwise, with the avowed purpose of personal profit. Heretofore, the word sabotage has been used only in connection with the I. W. W.’s._ These questions, however, are now being asked: Is it not as much “sabotage” for a} manufacturer to try to smash a cur- rent. wage rate as for a wage earner to try to smash machine: provided} both are actuated by a desire for perry sonal profit? | Is it not “sabotage” for a specula- | tor, to attempt to destroy values in order that he may buy goods cheaper | or bring about financial conditions which would force others to sell at a loss against their will? it not as much “sabotage’ ’for capital to refuse to do business, hop- ing for lower prices of materials and labor as it is for labor to refuse to work, with the avewed purpose of making industry so unprofitable that eapital would be discouraged and the plants would fall into ‘the workers’ hands? Tam not making any charges; more- over, I know that the great majority of manufacturers and’ bankers with whom I come in contact are not guilty of such “sabota; ing or somebody, howeve’ g the wheels of prosperity. The executive departments of the federal government have not prepared any theoretical plans. for reconstruc- tion which are impossible or execution. They have not prepared any paper programs.

It is strongly recomménded to us today that the government should now secure as much publicity for a movement to stimulate buying as it did, during the war, to retard Buying. s one who had charge of the war publicity of the labor administration, endeavoring to get the wage worker from a peace basis to a war basis, both ag to his labor and’his purchases, I feel“that I should spend .as much time and money in getting back on a peace basis as I spent during the war in getting business on a war b: I am in favor of the government getting ‘behind a nation-wide publicity } campaign to stimulate: business for | the mutual benefit of, mamufacturers, merchants and wage workers. Only by such national newspaper advertis. ing could justice be done to every state and city. The entire cost. of such a campaign could he covered’ by contri-} butions from the industries of the country in thé same manner as the cost-of ‘the publicity for the Liberty loans, was .taken ‘care of without ‘ex- pense to the government. The buyer should be appealed to not} by asking him to buy something that he does hot need, hut by.asking him to buy now what he does need. It could | be explained that a buyer who follows | a waiting policy not only injures ‘the, business of his fellow ‘men, but tends: to bring/about a business depression from\which he ultimately will himself. greatly suffer. The manufacturers can be appealed to to do all in their power to adjust prices as quickly as possible to a rea- sonable basis. Where feasible the| manufacturer should be urged to guar- antee the merchant that, should the manufacturer’s price for the commod- ity be reduced within a given time, the merchant would be protected by a rebate. : ™ Finally, labor should be appealed to to help in the campaign by doing, bet- ter work, and by co-operating to-re- duce the cost of manufacturing, The ‘departments at Washington realize that there must be a readjust- ‘ment following this war. Every period of inflation is followed by a period of deflation. We are not burying our heads in the sand as blind optimists, although we had rather be blind op- timists than blind pessimists. Wh=t we are fighting for is that the read- justment shall not be brougut avout. wilfully in a harmful way, but rather that we shall do what is. possible to “ retard it so that the change will be made slowly and no one will be harm- By so doing, we can be sure to ptovide a mattress for both labor and capital, and-at the same time have the fighting chance that we can staye off trouble ‘together.
