There is no guarantee that these savings will earn a' profit—In fact there is no assurance that the inves tor will not lose all or part of his saving*.

That is our quarrel with planned economies— under them everybody is supposed to lime this just can t be The history of American busi ness shows that the failures greatly exceed the successes, that there is more than an even chance the inves tor will lose «11 or part when he in vests his savings.

At the race track, a gam bler betting on a horse at even money, really t^iea no more risk of losing his entire bet and stands to make a quick profit of 100 percent plus a quick return of his entire in vestment. Please do not infer that we are holding any brief for betting on horses or that we consider busi ness is gambling. Neverthless in vesting one's savings in a business venture is risky, and men and women must have reasonable assurance of a profit commensurstg igith the risk involved, in order to indue* them to invest their savings. The advocates of the various socialistic systems loudly decry the huge profits made under what they erroneously term the "Profit Sys- tern.” They pick out the few isolated instances where big profits have been made and say nothing of the Such more numerous small profits. ley are very mum about the losses and completely tongue-tied regard ing the big losses. Zealous crusaders for impractical reforms are ever prone to paint only one side of the picture—they only cite one part of the facts. This brings us back to what we said at the outset—there is no such thing as a "Profit System.” That is a mis nomer, just as inaccurate as referring to the dual personality of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde by only one of the names. The right name of this splen did system' Is “The Profit And I-os. System."
