265.) in political terms, some new restrictions have to be imposed. I can't discuss this here in detail, but repeat that the prob lem of the birocracy after this war will be even more so for the political life of democracy than before. I would like to wish that we will not forget about it in the future settlement of post-war conditions. b) The expansion of the functions of the state on economic and social issues provokes the danger of the burocracy of economic life. Post-war democracy must be aware of the fact that the bureaucratization of production and the distribution of goods is a solute danger that the whole regime can soothe it. Therefore, you must consistently and consciously avoid the whole new organization and work against all its consequences. In terms of production and distribution of goods, the whole tendency towards bureaucratic routine, jealousy, lack of initiative, fear of responsibility, slowness, prestige, petty division of expertise and top disputes over competence, the formation of an infinite number of classes of rags into the production etc., would mean that this whole new regime would be economically possible. The conclusion is that future social and economic democracy in the context of the changes in the post-war social and economical structure must always and everywhere bear in mind the principles of economic profitability must also be applied to public enterprises, and all state-owned, municipal, public and cooperative enterprises.
