4 P Under The Ax
5c In by extremely clone vote. Congress passed
1934. an
w« ® law looking 1 > la intimate destiuction o, utility holding,
eo companies. I he administration of this death sentence I
— - law was placed in the hands of five men, a commission
! with sweeping powers.
i Now that commission is threatening certain utilities
with the rigorous application of the law. Commenting on
this, David Lawrence recently wrote: “The present ad
venture in tinkering with a' $12,000,000,000 industry |
beans that for the next few years there is bound to be
stagnation if not deflation and while the whole power
industry, is plunged into chaos, thus interfering with ex
pansion and re-employment ...
“An American investor, who put his savings into a
piece of property whose management complied with the
letter and spirit of the State and Federal laws then exist
ing, must now subject his holdings to the hazards of dis
solution by the Federal government the threat of which
has already produced incalculable losses to honest in
vestors and honestly financed companies . . .
“The death sentence provision of the utility law is the
first really far-reaching attack on the American system of
private ownership ever made . . . What is about to happen
to the electric light and power companies can affect
farms, stores, manufacturing and retail establishments if
it i. finally decided by the Supreme Court that under the
newly interpreted commerce clause, Congress can say at
will who shall own what and who may combine with
anybody else to own property outside or inside any state
in America.
A ruthless policy that decrees the “death sentence”
for a power company can decree the same treatment for
anv business. The interest of the utilities themselves is
the least important factor. What is important is the pre- ;
C edent-a precedent that, if it is upheld, can mean only
the beginning of the end of the American way of life,
and sacrificing on the block of bureaucratic greed an eco
nomic and social philosophy which has brought the Amer
ican people rewards uneQualed in world history. If the
■= ax falls on the utilities, the whole country will feel its bite.
l
I In A Nutshell
i
Labor is awakening to the fact that laws which kill
business also kill jobs.
The Executive Council of the American Federation
of Labor recently made this declaration; “We urge that
all Government actions that tend unnecessarily to discour
age business expansion cease and that a positive effort
be made to encourage greater industrial activity ... At
this time there are not enough jobs in private industry
go eo around ai ouna . . . This i nis is is. largely jaigeiy due uue in m our mu opinion puiu u, to the me
fact that lack of confidence has stunted business growth
and expansion.”
Any policy, any law, or any political clique which
fights and discourages private industry, fights and dis
courages employment. That’s the case in a nutshell—and
it’s a good sign that labor is recognizing it.
c Less Laws—More Food

an average annual income •_____ of r $312, an „„ additional 8,000,000 Q nAA AAA
families have an aveiage income of only $7o8. As a lesult,
4 twenty-two million families can spent only $1.00 to

Economic theorists and politicians of all stripes have
bandied figures like these about the country for years,

moral corruption. He was not a

drive of his con victibn, the

Amos suddenly appeared before

Having thus caught his crowd
and carried them with him, Amos
turned with ruthless severity up
on Israel. Can you not see the
people wince, and feel the guilty

sins the punishment of God, Am

them. In like manner will Judah,
Israel’s next door neighbor,
punished “because they have de

(Amos 2:4). Upon Judah,

the same thing is true of a com

Indeed, the whole world today
stands in need of this conviction.
Now look at some of the charges
which God. through his prophet,
brought against Israel; slave trad

robbery, perversion of judgment,
espoiling of the poor, perjury and
bribery, extravagant and luxur

What a terrible list of sins to
be laid at the door of these
ligious leaders of Israel! Yet do
they not remain the sins with
which many today in high places
in church and State, are guilty?
Who is to blame for the practical
slavery of millions of people to

make a living? Who is responsible
for our present-day greed for
money, the silencing of propheti

violence sweeping over the world
