JOHNSTON, retiring president of the United States chamber of commerce let loose veritable atomic bomb in his swansong at tlie recent annual meeting of the chamber at Atlantic City. He outlined the course he thinks capitalism must follow, if it la to survive In thia country. And today as a result, while thousands of businessmen end farmers and laborers hail his speech ss one of the finest expressions of progressive thought of tiie day . . . others are still holding their heads in utter horror ut the blasphemy which dropped from his lips . . . these are the monopolistic standpatters of the NAM, some of the frozen apostles of special privilege In their push chair club windows . . . some of the fat reactionaries of the house and senate the lobbyists against the peoples Interests and the backward-looker- s and normalcy advocates. Johnstons denunciation of capitalism as we know It In thia country was complete and and his concept of a new capitalism as fresh and revitalizing as spring shower. And the evidence is all about us that unless and until capitalism pulls itself up into a progressive power it will die in our country ai It has died a waning death in Europe. Here are some of Johnston'a concepts: Capitalism must change frem a monopolistic cenrentratloa of power and Influence In the bonds of the few Into a competitive economic system designed tor the enrichment of the many and not to make a few men rich. The whule process of thinking of capitalism for the privileged lew must be raised to a plane where responsiblily to the public Interest la the key word. We must choose between the old capitalism that hjidr- it has a closed and perfect system testing on congealed and untouchable dogmas . against organized labor, against government activity, against community planning , . , and tha new which must be a human institution, vibrant and evolutionary, capable of constantly adjusting Itself to new conditions.
