PUBLIC SERVANTS OR MIDDLE MEN?
Sir,-The clause in the Beveridge Report which has been rejected in the recent debate in the House of Commons is a test clause in that it sums up the meaning and purpose of the remaining clauses. Why this hesitation in assigning a public function to a public body? Is it the fear of increasing the number of public officials? If so, be it remembered that predatory individualism in the form of private enterprise sustains a host of
middlemen far beyond anything that public control of public affairs can ever absorb into its service. On the score of redundancy, private enterprise easily
takes pride of place.-
