Ul’ this urder-consumption? Vari- Ous reasons are assigned., . ; First, a great many m are out of work, i, e. without income and so can't buy’ even what they need. If these men were at wark producing they would be, in- creasing the wealth and therel#® ralsing the reneral weli-being of the try. Second, the classes which used to buy articles of luxury have had thelr prdfits cut, their investments sliced down, their incomes reduced. Hence the production and sale of luxuries have slowed down as have lh‘e of necessities. The writ- er adds here is an “amazing para- dox—over-production in a world Where the madority never get emotghia sag i’ l e ‘éffective demand’ for goods at the time when the real demaid; lh h v ‘demand, is at its peak.” - And then he zoes on: “If a single ¥n order house or department store,. by its own factories and farms, had a national monopoly on all goods and .al- lowed such things as this to hn{v‘gem it would be justly accused of bad ;man- agement.

Some ‘have sneered at my criticisms as the outbursts of coun- trifled ignorane, and- some have loftily put them one side. as possibly ' the ebullitions of envy. .I have, therefors, quoted this from a New York city edi- tor, published in a New York city news- paper, to supplement and fortify my con- tention that the trouble with business is largely due to business itself; to ‘the short-sightedness and to the ignorance and to the “‘grab-everything-within- reach” spirft which dominates it. ers Says our city editor: “If business were as much a science as agriculture is, se- rlous depressions would not occur.” What do you think of that, brother hayseed? We, who know that the “sci- ence” of agriculture is, at’ present, little better than a jumble and hash of em- piricism and guess-work and eternally contradictory experiences, find it frank- ly admitted by the city writer in the very citadel of business administration that business, as at present conducted .is less scientific even than farming, as at pres- ent done. Such an admission ean’t be sncered down or ignored asithe voice either of ig- norance or of envy, It s not a eriticism from without, but a confession within.
