Brown and White Vol. 41 no. 48

              the brown and white re quests that heads of living groups turn in their lists of houseparty guests by wednesday may 2 so that they may be published in the issue of may 4 five students attend meet is the relationship existing between capital and labor wages declared dr carothers are set by forces beyond the control of employer or employee at any time there is a given amount of land capital and labor these three create a joint product and of this product each receives a share roughly propor tioned to its importance in the common enterprise to illustrate this point the case of england where capital and labor are abundant rents are high wages are fair and the return to capital is low was cited to contrast this in china where labor is abundant and capital is scarce the interest rate is exhorbitant and wages are pauper ly in our own country our land resources are very rich labor is not yet overabundant capital is fairly scarce and the returns to both capital and labor are the won der and the envy of other na tions dr carothers stated that left to themselves the factors of produc tion will effect two important re sults first the nation's resources will be utilized to the best advan tage and secondly the return to la bor land and capital will be in pro portion to the contributions each makes departures from these nat ural rates of return mean injury to society the capitalistic system as con trasted with any other existing in the past is a grand success de clared dr neil carothers director of the college of business adminis tration in an article in the sunday edition of the new york herald tribune with fair accuracy you can measure for any nation the length of life the standard of living the quality of education the care of little children and the protection of women by the per capita horse power developed by its machines continued dr carothers he added that but for the capitalistic order ironically enough the parlor com munists would never have been born conceding the success of the industrial system we must also ad mit that it is imperfect it is full of conflict hardship unearned privil ege and ill-requited labor it fails in four major respects the failures of the system listed were that pov erty is not abolished it does not provide economic security it per mits unequal distribution and last ly during the depressions the whole system breaks down dr carothers added that all of these four defects are remiable and may be cured without destroying the capitalistic system the big problem today the writer asserted miss gladys
