UP TO INDUSTRY It commonly is said these days that we are in the midst of a bloodless revolution in the United States. The state ment is either pleasing or terrifying, depending on your mental attitude and, perhaps, on the number of high powered securities you have in your safety deposit box. But it is not quite accurate. That there has been a revolution in the realm of ideas is too obvious to need comment. Both, the boom-time psycho logy of the Coolidge era and the what's-the-use attitude of more recent years are gone for good. But whether we are to have an actual revolution in political and 'economic life a full transfer of power from one class to another still is a matter for the future to determine. We haven't had it yet. Whether we are to have it depends largely on how well the owners of the means of production, transportation, and dis tribution are willing to. play ball under the new rules that have been devised. As was pointed out recently in a dispatch from Washing ton, there are two courses open to the NRA set-up. It can go ahead to a more or less complete socialization of industry, under full control of Uncle Sam; or it can become a referee in the competitive struggle, standing by to enforce the rules of fair play and to see that every contestant gets the breaks that are coming to himi. That the capitalist would prefer the second alternative goes without saying. Whether the second alternative is what he gets depends almost 'entirely on him. If ho plays bull; well and good; if not, he is likely to wake up some morning and find that this bloodless revolution, which people are talking about already has taken place. What does all this mean, in actual practice? Simply this: Industry must adapt itself to the new rules as they are drawn up in Washington. The industrialist, who shuts down a plant rather than deal with strikers, who chisels at his NPvA code, sabotages the New Deal and tries to continue in in dustrial relations the attitude of a steel baron of 1919 simply is persuading people that the evils of capitalism can't bo abolished without abolition of capitalism as well. Given the present temper of the American people gener ally, it is certain that failure of the NRA will be followed by measures immeasurably more stringent. And success or failure of the NRA depends, in the last analysis, on the in telligence and good will of the rulers of industry.
