HORT-SIGHTED captains of industry in America have done more in the past year to promote socinlism than fifty years of agitation by theorists and demagogues, Reckless boosting of; prices, disregard of corporate restraint and avaricious plundering of) the public are rapidly weakening private control of enterprise. | Capital is bringing down upon itself, hy its own acts, the same state | { socialism against which it has been fighting. } Under the pressure of war new conditions have developed in, { Furopean countries far beyond the dreams of visionary socialists. Che most radical theorist, planning hie Utopian state, never conceived the extent of national mo¥ilization and control that necessity already } as dictated. Here in America, happily outside the field of battle so far, we) kave been clinging to our old pathway in the middle ground, gently | necking private enterprise with regulatory supervision, and on the other hand dabbling in the beginnings of government ownership. ‘In theory there stil! stands between the two extremes that finely \ spun barrier of law, judicial decisions and commission regulation | J built up on the foundation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law. Officialiy | we hold to it as our economic sheet anchor, though now it drags as 2 fart ae the tide. | r | Antt-trost laws are almost dead-letter statutes. Combina- | tions in restraint of trade are springing ap in every industry, | A Vrices are being boosted with outward evidence of common agreement, The tricks and devices of old freebooter days in { basiness are coming back into practice, merely disguised in | new forms, i In a blind routine, the law machinery is grinding away on old prosecutions of trusts instituted before the war, while in a twelve- month the economic conditions of the whole world have changed. . Under the excuse of war-time necessity greedy captains of industry ve shaken loose the reins on business, Chief among these accelerators of socialism are the iron and s.eel barons, who have been credited in the past with shrewd fore-| | sight and far-reaching vision. But a new ophthalmic veil must have \ ‘allen over their eyes, blinding them to the consequences of dazzling profits they are making. Taking eight leading steel products as the index, official quota- tions for the ten-year period from 1900 to 1910 show the average vrice to have been $36.94 per ton. Tn 1914 it was as low as $30. "hen, with the advent of war, began the ’ these same eight producta for 1916 was &5 price is $81.05 per ton—* ver cent. increase in two years, The profits of the United States Steel Company for 1915 were) $180,000,000; for 1916, $330,000,000, while the results of the latest extortionate boosting of prices are counted to net over $500,000,000 tor the current year, equal to 100 per cent, on the company’s enor- mous issue of common stock. There can be no fair relation between cost prices and selling | prices in such increases as thie, The old idea that a merchant or a manufacturer was entitled to a reasonable profit on his goods is a relegated theory of fair dealing.

He had not only scored a total failure of his life and bis ambitions but he was condemned to death. His most ardent ed- | mirers knew he lad played his last card, and that not only had he forfeited his stake but his lite as well. He alone thought differently. As you shall see. “My friend,” scoffed the jailer who was assigaed to watch over bim on the evo of the date set for ils execution, “this ends your career!” “No,” coolly denied the prisoner, “my career {s not ended. Because! Italy {3 not yet free, My destiny will keep me e.” Even while the jailer was laughingly repeating these boastful words to some of his fellow keepers, the “Failure” made his escape from prison j and, dodging pursuit, found his way to South America. ‘ He was Giuseppe Garibaldi—stocky of build, shaggy of hatr and beard— ® poor Itallan fisherman. His ono aim and hope in all life was to help make Italy a free country, And now, having risked his prospects and his fe in an uprising against his fatherland’s tyrants, ho saw the revolt crushed and his hopes killed.
