Change Law Within
Democracy, Urges
Lippmann
Leave Most of Property
And Labor in Private
Hands, He Says
By th« Auoclited Pres*.
DURHAM, N. C„ Dec. S.—Walter
Lippmann, newspaper columnist
asserted in an address here tonight
that the only way to preserve democ
racy is to leave the administration
of most of property and most ol
labpr in private hands, and to re
strict as far as possible the functions
of Government.
However, if this is to be done, he
said, "the private administration ol
property has to be regulated by laws
which will check the abuses that
make men righteously discontented
with the regime of private property.”
Mr. Lippmann, speaking at the
concluding session of the Duke Uni
versity symposium on “Law in
Modem Society,” declared that this
objective could be obtained "by fix
ing our attention upon the laws
which foster the abuses rather than
upon the Government as a kind ol
universal receiver to administer un
solved problems.”
Threaten Liberties.
"The reforms which we achieve by
remedies within the sphere of law
preserve and augment our liberties,’
he said, “whereas the reforms which
we achieve by enlarging the func
tions of Government threaten to ex
tinguish our liberties.”
Mr. Lippmann said that progres
sives of the past 70 years had failed
to develop remedies within the
sphere of the law and had sought
them within the sphere of Govern
ment. The real remedy, he asserted,
Is to amend the law.
"The point to bear in mind is
that all property is a creation of
law, and that the law of property
can be altered; that every corpora
tion si a creation of the law, and
that the law of corporations can be
altered; every patent, every fran
chise, every license is created of the
law, and that the law can be al
tered.
"If you change the law you can
exercise social control, you can
change social conditions without
necessarily enlarging the functions
of government.”
Urges System of Law.
Dr. John Dickinson, general solici
tor for the Pennsylvania Railroad
and professor of law at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, joined with
Mr. Lippmann in advocating a sys
tem of law rather than one of power.
New legislation, he said, should
aim, so far as practicable, in the
direction of promoting "the stability
ef the middle classes, which has the
greatest stake and Interest in main
taining law.”
