THE ETHICAL SERVICE BUSINESS RENDERS •"""" — BY J. H. PUELICHER President of the American Benkert Association I sometimes think we lay too much stress on the technical efficiency of our business Instrumentalities and

too little on their moral services. Is it enough to say to our radical opponents of the present capitalistic order that it effectively feeds and clothes and houses and furnishes us with physical comforts and pleasures and therefore it is

————— I ' 1 J. H. Puellcher

good? That is not enough. They can rightfully tell us that, even though a system may minister to our physical well-being, if It stunts us morally, if It does not positively make us better ethically, It is an Inadequate system. The general answer to this assertion is obvious. The very fact that our industry, commerce and finance serve us so rm ply with the materials and means for physical well-being gives us the opportunity to build and support our churches, to foster the arts, to develop our great educational system,—to be kind to one another. But need we deal in generalities? Do we not find in the direct effect of our business upon the individual much to Improve his ethical standards? To toughen his moral fiber? Is it not good for the personal character of the race to do business as we are now doing it? Let us take the business of banking. for example. Is it a mere mechanism or is it a vital moral force? ' Does It do more than, by facilitating production, raise the physical standard of living, or Is there anything inherent In the manner and methods of banking that raises the moral standard of living .as well? Nine-tenths of our business is done by means of credit. The great bulk of that credit is obtained from the banks. It is obtained from the banks I because men have character, —bei cause they are honest, because they keep faith, —because they can be trusted. If they did not have these qualities I they could not do business with credit, they could not do business at the banks. We say banks deal iu credit. That Is but away of saying i they deal in honor and honesty. They build the business structure with the faith of man in man. The part banking plays in our business life is growing. That means I that the faith of men in each other ’ is growing. The more men who come to the banks with characters that entitle them to credit, —the more men I who realize that to gain credit at the banks, they must possess themselves with characters that win them unquestioned trust, the higher becomes the ethical standards of the nation. Is not this a great moral service , that banking renders? It is a greater justification for our present financial I system than even its wonderful efficiency in providing us with the ma- j terial things of life. No greater scrv-! I ice could be rendered the nation. AMERICA’S NEW PLACE Many Americans fancy that, be- i cause labor is well employed and our industries have been reporting substantial earnings and improvement over the depression period, normalcy has been restored. The truth Is, what i we must consider normal in the future i | will be an entirely different thing : | from what was considered normal | I prior to the war. One reason is, our new place in the world as the leading ! creditor nation. That change is a permanent one. We are not going to return to the old position of debtor ' : nation. Bankers In the agricultural , communities have come to the con- I i "elusion that we cannot afford to main- . tain an attitude of isolation and that • opinion Is not a personal one. The I men I have talked with are voicing ' the ideas of the people with whom 1 they have daily business contact. A great many politico-economists have warned against America’s entrance into the European situation, asserting that our foreign trade makes up less than 20 per cent of our production, and therefore is too small an item to be vital or to risk our investment In. They forget, and most people who have listened to them forget, that the unimportant 20 per cent is the difference between full employment of our Industries and labor and much unemployment and business dei pression. If a manufacturing enterI prise is running at 90 per cent of ca- . pacity, it may be making a fairly good showing of earnings, but it is not running at normal and is not earning the margin which it should earn in order to be fully prosperous. It appears obvious that we shall have to build up foreign Investments in this country. But it will be necessary to go slowly In the matter cf foreign investments. There must be assurance that whatever we-loan w ill be used for productive purposes. —William E. Knox, Sec- , I ond Vice-President, American Bankj erg Association. |

Columbia City, Sept. G.—Hardened violators of traffic regulations meekly obeyed the orders cf a girl traffic cop who stationed herself at one of tho Main corners of the city one evening recently and proceeded to direct passing automobiles. Dressed in a band boy’s uniform, she blew her whistle and wielded a policeman’s club like a veteran on the force, and few of those who stopped at her signal and waited for orders to move forward realized that she was doing the stunt as a part of her initiation into the Tri Kappa sorority’. $ »—S—WANT ADS EARN—S -s—s —i o ‘SO THIS IS LONDON” On Friday and Saturday- of this wqek with a S;rturday matinee at the Majestic theatre, Fort Wayne. George M. Cohan will present his internationally ‘ famous comedy classic, “So this is London" with Mr. and Mrs. Coburn in their original roles, in which they won well deserved recognition in Fort Wayne last season, following their four solid months of phenomenal success at Cohan’s Grand Chicago. The play, which was written by Ar'.hur Goodrich, treats in a satirical but always good-natured way, of tho folly of permitting nationalistic spirit to create antagonism between Englishmen and Americans, and exposes the fact that their opinions an 1 conceptions of each -other are usually altogether wrong. There i an unusually diverting love story, deftly Interwoven, with the unique pl< t. “So This Is London" is said to bo uproariously funny, from start to finish. Mote-over, it is full to overflowing with surprising complications and the everpresent element of sustained suspense. You never can tell just what’s coming next in “So Tills Is London.” That is the feature that has made the price as I popular in England as in America.

Chrystal’s case will be heard in i Englewood police court today. If she I persists in her refusal to give up her (lover she will be prosecuted, FennerI stein said. If she promises to quit i “flapperism,” the father promises to make good the checks.
