THE EVEXNING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1930. INSULL, THOMAS CLASH ONBUSINESS | Present Arguments on Gov- ernment Operation at Institute Session. By a Sta Correspondent of The Star. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Au- gust 14.—Sparks flew at the Institute of Public Affairs yesterday when the political philcsophies of big busi- ness and socialism crashed together in the person of Martin J. Insull, electric power magnate, and Norman Thomas, late Socialist presidential candidate. They argued over Government regu- lation” or operation of business. Both presented their points so effectively that Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the Uni- versity of Michigan remarked that so long as either man spoke he thought he was right. Mr. Insull maintained that private initiative and competition, spurred on by hope of reward, is essential for ef- ficient and progressive management of business. Mr. Thomas maintained that men will do their best for the satisfaction of doing a good job without being spurred by hope of financial reward. Mr. Insull said the unparalleled ma- { terial developm-nt of the United States was due to the “spirit of adventure { motivated by possibility of gain” of the American picneers. Mr. Thomas said that all this hap- pened a hundred years ago before all the natural resources worth having had been gobbled up and great business dy- nasties, like that of the Rockefellers, established. Mr. Insull pointed to such experi- ments as Government operation of the railroads during the war as terrible examples. Mr. Thomas referred to them as very good examples, considering the stress of ! war and the hurried and unskiliful way they were launched. Mr. Insull favored Government regu- lation of utilities as nécessary in the interests of the public, but thought that was going far enough. Mr. Thomas said that the trouble | with Government _regulation is _that ‘A BARGAIN SPECIAL/ 25° 4 c.ke"ou mcnscs O With each carton of 4 cakes of famous SWEETHEART TOILET SOAP Yourgrocer gives you free a full-size 10c package of ELLFE SEREZK TEEL WOOL CLEA .

Mr. Thomas mentioned the cases where business directorates have been caught swindling their own stockhold- ers. Mr. Insull, asked about the propa- ganda of the big power companies, de- nied his company ever engaged in “doc- | toring” school text books, which, he said, would be very reprehensible. He | | said’ it intended to follow exactly the | same publicity policies as before the | investigation. | | “What proponents of Government | ownership want.” said Insull, “are those institutions of which individua.s have made outstanding successes. If after vears of study, enterpris- and labor all the individual has to lcok forward to is becoming part of a Government in- stitution, our development as an in- | dustrial nation will be a very different story in the future. Throttle individual | initiative and take away its rn:pons:-i makes little difference to them whether | they are working for the General Elec- | tric Co. or the United States. He said one of the greatest engineering under- takings in the world today is the elec- trification of Russia under the Soviet government. It was pointed out that this work was being directed by engi- neers of the General Electric Co. It makes no differer®e, he said, where the engineers happened to get their train- ing. They do as well for one employer as another. “From the beginning,” he said, “pri- vate ownership of natural resources and public utilities has tended to degrade, if not actually corrupt, democracy. I need only to refer to such famous examples as the railroad scandals of the Grant administration, the oil scandals of the Harding administration, the alliance in Chicago between the public utilities and the Thempson gang, the virtual pur- chase of an Illinois’ Senator by cam- paign contributions and the amazing| revclations of high-power propaganda in newspapers, schools. colleges, which circulated pure propaganda without la- beling it.” Era of Collectivism.

As a mat- ter of fact, when man went i for power-driving machinery he went in for a high degree of collectivism. Back of | Karl Marx stood James Watts and the inventors. It is absurd to talk of eco- nomic individualism in a land of chain stores, chain banks, and even chain farms, where a roomful of men control the credit resources of the country and about the same number the major part of our electric power. The average American no .longer looks forward to working for himself. but for some cor- poration. Both of the two greatest ca- lamities of our time, war and unemploy- ment, arise far more from sins of so- ciety than of the individual.” Prohibition was argued at the open- forum discussion by Mrs. Marion Booth Kelly of the Women's Organization for | National Prohibition Reform and Ernest H.
