KILLING THE PATIENT A QUESTION OF MEDICINE. Many people have developed the idea in recent- years that there is some sort, of “charm” about the State, and that when the State takes hold of a problem or an enterprise magical results will follow. It is true that there are certain restricted functions which the State can best control in the interests of the whole community ; but beyond that ’limited field there is every reason why the State should refrain from control, interference and ownership. Expel ionco has proved that with trading and business enterprises, the State idea, of management gives rise to delays, inefficiency, discrimination, bureaucracy and financial loss. Where there is no incentive to profit there i 9 no incentive to promptitude, efficiency, or entei prise. On the other hand, free enterprise—in order to exist and to flourish —must be progressive, adaptive to change, responsive to public need, alert and efiicicnt-. Free enterprise is the mainspring of progress and prosperity. Free, enterprise is the foundation of New Zealand's economic wealth. In the future, New Zealand needs full expression of the people's initiative, energy and enterprise. To “let the State take it over” is a policy of negation and slackness. State control in New Zealand has become a bad habit, and the decision of the Government to take over the Bank of New Zealand and the Internal Airways is further evidence of that tendency. The country needs a change from that sort of medicine; it is killing the patient.*
