IN A NUTSHELL
A recent book called “Law and Orders,” by Dr C. K. Allen, the Warden of Rhodes House at Oxford, is a pithy survey of the methods of State control and bureaucracy. Dr. Allen writes: “The perpetual paradox of bureaucracy is that efficiency is its god, but the more complex it becomes the more inefficient it becomes. Overgrown, it does not get more things done, but' merely expends more time and effort on getting fewer things done ... “There are always new files to be kept New tasks and sub-tasks to be done, more and more paperasserie .piling up, more by-products developing, more staff needed. A busy office always has more to do than it can possibly manage!” Free enterprise and State owneiship should work on their merits ana be- judged on their merits. 57
