REAL WORKERS DESERVE PAY, PASTOR SAYS Capitalists Obligation was Assumed in Machine Aae, Savant Says Editors Note —Unemployment and .nductrial unrest having been discussed repeatedly from a standpoint of economics, the United Press asked a noted clergyman for his opinion of the industrial system from a standpoint of morals. The interview .ollows.—-U. P. N. Y. By Paul Walmr 'United PreHH Staff ('orrenponde’it Detroit. March 24 —(UPI The capital stic clasH hag a moral obligation to see, uh far as humanly possible, that all willing and abbworkers get a living, and if capital ists deny this old ga. ion govern uents have a right to force them to iisscharge it. i'iiul was the u.,”*', r of the Rev John A. McClorey S. .1 , noted writer and lecturer of the Universl y of Detroit, when asked what moral jUHlificat on exists for the demand of unemployed men. -We want wod: or wages.” Father McClorey based his statements entirely on moral grounds. "We can only discuss this quesion," Father McClorey said, "if we first admit the ex stence of flotl. Granting that a Supreme Being created the world, let us ask why ltd He create an earth full of wa erials tor food, clo hing and shelter? The simple answer of a child or a thinking man is: For the sustenance of mankind." "Before the industrial revolution which occurred in England 150 years ago. men made their living bv turning small portions of raw materials into the necessities of life with their own primitiev tools. “The industrial revolution came, and capitalists equivalently took the use of these tools and these mater ials out of the hands of individual men and concentrated them in mahinery and sac ories. "Therefore it is incumbent upon capitalists not only to get their sat..ries and returns proportionate to heii personal ability, to the r own 3. ship of the means of production. ,o the size of their investwents, and to the risks they take, —but also to see to it that the men they deprived of economic independence shall get a living wage. "By a living wage as used here, we mean the necessities, some of the comforts, and even a few of the tittle luxuries of life. “The capitalist of today inherits this obligation from his forebearers who initiated the industrial revolut on. Thus manufacturers who keep the tremendous profits of modem industry in their pockets while and willing workers are striving outside their plants, become morally responsible. "This obligation extends to nations in the sense that if capitalists refuse to discharge it, governments may force them to do so. How they •an be forced, is a question, not for us. hut for economists and legislators. “The matter of government responsibility was made dear by Pope Leo XIII, who expressly charged governments with their duty toward he poor, because the poor are sc nelpless. And Leo XIII himself was a nobleman. "What do you think of the demands of the American ‘Reds’?” he va asked. Father McClorey replied "But I won most of them are not ju >t unemployed men who are entitled to a Ling ami aren’t getting it. Uli Joubtedly Communists are takin-, advantages of conditions to further heir obpectives. but the bulk of the discontented ones, it would seem o me. are honest workers. “In saying this I am not denying hat mult tudes of working men are poor and miserable because they are lazy, ineffic ent, dishonest, or .-xtravagant. 1 also repudiate, of ourse, the denial of the right to private property, the claim that all exchange value of thivigs is dus to ,vo;k, and the idea that" all capital sts are robbers and all rich men lisheliest. We have had amide evi deuce here in Detroit of the charity -. many rich men." "What ill your opinion is the soluioa of th--e problems?” was the nal question. Father McClorey answered: “The soln ion is so apparent as to seem dlctilotis Christianity! If Chrisiauity v.ere practi ed there would )? no gigantic ‘ fortunes. There would be many moderate fortune' nd the genera! level of prosperity mild be higher. The world would at be a heaven upon-earth, but it would be saner and more decent. And there would be no ‘Red’ riots." o Bar Goes “Talkie” Liverpool. England. --(UP)—Mnt.
