Church View Of The Profit System
LONDON, Dec. 11.—There was considerable danger of the worker becoming an automaton, and everything possible must be done to prevent mechanisation destroying the skill of the individual, said Dr. Cyril Garbett, Archbishop of York, speaking at York today. In both nationalisation and large businesses controlled from a distant office, he said, over-centralisation , tended to take away responsibility those working in departments. Speaking of incentives, the Archbishop said he could not agree that the profit motive was wrong. “Christianity neither encourages nor condemns the profit system, provided it is not abused,” he said. Condemning the “weary willies” of life, he said: “In a truly Christian community there is no room for the idler. It should condemn the butterfly, the parasite, the slack and the iazy, in every class of life.”
