rCOKOK 8EKNARU SHAW paaaed
hia Mrd birthday the other day.
Pressed by an Uilarvlewer for a
statement, ha waa reUcenL He -plaJnad
that tha Interviewer would
11 money for the interview, but he
Shawl wouldn t let any thine for It.
and be added thai ha had never
been much Inlareeted In Uansaclions I
like that. I
Ha did loosen up to tha extent of
Ulllrif tha ambiuoua reporter that
he had alwaya liked money when he
waa younger and STILL LIKES IT
Dow that he la older.
CHUCKS! Everybody likea money.
One b. trouble with tha world
la that ao many people would rather
take money away from thote who
hava It than to WORK for It It
haa alwaya aeerned to ma that the
big trouble with enclaltem la that ll
la mora aonotmed with takinf
wealth away from Uhm who have it
than with CRIATI NO a S W
WEALTH.
THAT, of Course,
bring ua back
to thia fundamental
aueeUon:
What la wealth?
How la It created
The economists tell ua that wealth
la created by tha application ol
labor to natural resource. That la
to aay, clay la a natural resource.
Water la a natural resource. Wood
la a natural resource.
SEPARATELY, they are value
less. But when somebody WILLING TO
WORK cornea along and mixes tha
water with tha clay, molds the re
sulting mud Into square, butlda a
fire with tha wood and with Uie
resulting heat bakaa the mud
aquarae Into bricks out of which a
house can be built WEALTH IS
CREATED.
e e
TT appears to ma that If socialism
would give as much thought to
CREATINO WEALTH aa It gives
to dividing up wealth that some
body WILUNO TO WORK haa al
ready created It would get farther
and do mora good.
