KILPATRICK also sat down to resounding applause.
Karl Hess said his old friend didn’t understand. He said too much wealth and power is concentrated in too few hands in America for Kilpatrick’s generalizations about big corporations to be valid, and he argued that most of this nation’s most significant technological breakthroughs had come from individuals or small firms, not big corporations. He cited the automobile industry and the transistor industry as examples of his point, and blamed the nation’s industrial ills on a surrender to “merchandising” as opposed to engineering.
“We can’t continue to use 60 per cent of the world’s energy to produce style,” said Hess. “W'e must return production to engineering and away from style and merchandising.”
There followed more generalizing by both men, and then Kilpatrick invited questions. The very first one found both speakers in agreement. A woman wondered about American labor laws which keep youngsters off the job market, and indicated she felt this was ridiculous.
