HUMAN NATURE VS. IDEALISM
Communistic Theory of Ownerehlp of
Land, Put to the Tesf In Russia,
Has Proved Dire Failure
In Practice.
Article XXVI.
By FRANK COMER FORD.
The bolshevik povemment seized In
dustry; the working men took over
the factories. It was part of the plnn
of "communism. Tlie promise was that
the socialization of Industry would In
crease production nnd free the work
ers from exploitation. The owners nnd
nmnnfrers were driven from the plants.
These men were of the bourgeois class.
They had no place In the new scheme
of thlnps. They were "tainted" wllh
success. They had Intelligently nnd
efficiently built up their Industries.
This was enough. The bolshevik gov
ernment denied them citizenship nnd
drove them from the enterprises they
had built.
Everything was to bo owned In
common ; private property of nil kinds
hnd been abolished. The men who
worked In the factories or mills were
to be their own bosses. They were
part of the stnte, and the state owned
nnd operated everything. The gov
ernment of the factory was to be by
committee, every man was the equal
of every other man ; orders were given
nnd orders taken with this thought In
mind. The result was Insubordina
tion. Every man was boss; all sys
tem banished ; system mnde slaves
Down with system ! The business
brains having been driven nut. Insub
ordination having eonie In, produc
tion declined until It nlnmst censed,
mnny workers gave up In disgust nnd
returned to their villages. The exodus
from I'etrogrnd was marked. Prrnr
to 1P1.r Petrngrnd was n city of nearly
2,000,000. In 1918 its population hnd
shrunk to less than 700,000. Fac
tories closed. Again the theory of
communism, when put to the test,
failed.
Trotzky Had Remedy.
Trotzky, In confessing the failure of
the bolshevik program to successfully
soclnllze Industry, charged It to the
"sabotage of the Intellectuals." T.y
this he meant that the bolsheviks
drove the specialists, the technicians
and malingers of industry, out of busi
ness; thnt the working men, not hav
ing I he training for these places re
quiring special skill nnd knowledge,
were unable efficiently nnd successfully
to carry on the business. Having
pointed out the cause of th failure,
he presented a remedy. He truly said
that the Intellectuals have the benefit
of special training, education and ex
perience, nnd that shops nnd factories
filled with machines, material and
working men, cannot be run without
the skilled manager, the Intelligent,
experienced foreman. Rut Trotzky
hns not lost fallh In the plan of In
dustrial communism, nor has bo lost
belief In (he theory that It cnn be
made to Increase production. He
says that the bourgeois brains, when
forced Into the factories by the slate,
do not work with the same amlillion
to innke a success of the business that
they did when It was their private
property and they had a persnmil-proflt
Interest In Its success. Thus they
are guilty of withholding their best
from factory management under the
bolshevik scheme of communism.
This he calls Hie "sabotage of the In
tellectuals". To eliminate this dllll
dilty he proposes that the bolshevik
government turn Its nftentlon In the
education of the working men, pro
vide technical schools ami schools
leaching business management, ami
In this manner make competent man
agers and technical experts out of
worklngmc n. It Is his opinion that
wnrklngmen educated to be experts
and managers would retain their class
sympathy and their Interest In the suc
cess of the class struggle.
Had Forgottan Human Nature.
The bolsheviks are strong on theory.
Trotzky falls to take Into considera
tion some simple fundamental truths.
He falls to reckon with human na
ture as It Is. He thinks of It ns It
should be. Let ns take an example
which Illustrates, and emphasizes the
difference between bolshevik theory
and practical experience. Let us sup
pose that the bolshevik government es
tablishes schools for the purpose of
training men In business mauagemeet
ami for technical work. Then enroll
u these schools worklngmen who, nt
he time, are entirely "class conn-Ions."
They are ardent communists
uhen they enter the front door of the
school on the first day of their attend
ance. They attend school for several
years. The time spent In school nnd
the education given to the men makes
m change In them. They become con
scious of the power of education, of
their fitness for a tietter class of
work. Education gives them a sense
of superiority, and I do not mean
superiority In the arrogant or boastful
sense. The trained mind Is conscious
of training. It Is a more ambitious
mind. The men are not less human.
They want to get out of education ma
terial benefits. They feel the sense
of leadership. When they Kiaduale.
thesn men leave. the door of the school
di Herein nun in aspirations nnd urn
billons. Take them back to the fac
tories nnd In nine cascK ouof ten you
will Hnd that you have made matin
Kers, foremen, experts out of them,
and that they are conscious or Jt
There will be some few whose gnat
Idealism will Inspire Ihein to go back
Into the t-lie Miid work for the com
inoii good. Such men are the excel
Hons to the rule. The great majority
will Insist upon recognition of their
jrreater .Mil and demand cointiensu

water edge she was startled nt seeing
her young ones paddle Into the water
and without even so much as a good

The test of the communist theory Is
whether or not, when put to practice.
It Increases production. The theory
of the communist Is that It will In
rnniu nrndnrtlon hv Inducing men to
work because they are their own
bosses and are guaranteed an equal
share In the production. The prac
tical fact which upsets tne incory m
thnt hnmnn hplnirs are moved to work
by their desire for gain. Human be
ings have this strain In their moon,
it i. ni-crnnle? It la n nnrt of them. I
do not refer to greed. I mean thnt nil
experience proves that human oeings
are Individualists. The average man
thinks of himself and his Intersets a
timoa to the one time he thinks
of the general Interest of society. This
Is true even or the man wno gives
much thought and has much concern
for the common good. He mny be
nnnoi-nna tn a fault, hut he wants to
acquire the thing .and then give It.
Competition, notwithstanding all the
theories of the Idealists to me con
trary, quickens life, stimulates men
for nrocress. Every
where about us we sec In our dally
experiences evidence of this fact. L,ire
Is a gamble In the sense that every
thing Is uncertain ; life Itself Is uncer
tain. No man can plan or program
his tomorrow. While I am not n
fatalist, I can see from my own life
nti from the lives of others, that many
things come to pass over which we
have no control. ' It Is the effort of
tnnn to provide agnlnst unfavorable
contingencies, to compete wun ciinnec,
which rankes him basically a competi

Take the poker game. Men who
play the "national game" will tell you

tinf for the money, and they are speak
ing the truth. Try an experiment,
play a game for matches Instead of
for money, and observe the effect upon
the ambition and skill of the players.
Maybe It should not be so, but we
nre not dealing with "should not he's."
The life problem must be handled
from the point of view of things as
l hey nre.

beautifully Ideal, human beings nre
not. The ugly fact Is thnt selfishness
