A PROFIT-SHARING SCHEME.
(Continued from Page 2)
“You use the right word,” he replied. The bane of British industry is suspicion. Suspicion is our worst enemy. Much is to be said for Labour in this respect Let us recognise it like honest mai. Labour has reason for its suspicion. Let us have faith in honesty and set to work to get rid of this paralysing suspicion. [ Can we do it? I believe we can. I believe indeed, that a pronounce- ment by the Prime Minister would give us at once a magni- fioent start in that direction.'
What would you have hita say?" I inquired.
"I would like him," he an awared, "to declare that hence forth Labour is to participate în the profits of industry, that the poey of the Government is to have this great end in view, and that to no other industrial end. will the Government give a more whole-hearted sympathy. If we get rid of ca' canny we get rid of, the one stumbling block in the way of national prosperity. If our factories produce what they can easily produce, national wealth will be multiplied to an extraordinary degree. This is certain; it admits of no doubt. Now, how can we persunile Labour to abandon "the suicidal policy of ca' canny, how can we encourage Labour to throw itself with enthusiasm into the work of producing more wealth for the nation? By insuring that it shall get its due share of the addit- ioanl wealth so produced.
MEANING OF PROFIT-SHARING.
"Profit-sharing is one metho to this great end. Labar must become the partner of Capital. Let us tell Labour that by profit- sharing we do not mean £5 at Christmas. That is absurd. Let us be done with any nonsense of that kind. The profit-sharing I mean is that the Lab ur contri- bating to the increased prolac tion, which secures increased wealth, shall, in addition to good wages, receive at the end of every wek or month a substantial sum as its share."
