TIME WAS .when it was fashionable for everyone to talk about big business and count over the gross and net sins of corporations. Of course, there were mighty good stories even then about our standards oT living. But the busybodies didn’t bother with those success stories, big or little. I have said that America is now beginning to assume her task in public', relations, that of selling her ways and her freedoms and her institutions people everywhere. Y , " ' I should like to say that some of our groups and institutions have special responsibilities in this job. I think that labor does, as well as business. The task is important to agriculture, to tradesmen, to education, to the professions, and to civic minded folks in every walk. Certainly labor and industry are each so important in our economic system, that they must be interested in reawakening the people to an appreciation of America. A Report I WOULD LIKE to To Workers tell you about a company that is doing its part, thereby shouldering its responsibility for this kind of public re-education. Somebody sent me a copy of a report this company makes to its employees. The report answers questions employees want to know. -The answers are frank, fair, and simply stated. There is no doubt the report has made its readers better informed Americans. It did so to me. It takes $7,507 worth of capital to give a person a job in this company. Naturally, there would be no jobs for their 3,951 people if it were not for this $29,660,626. Shareholders who put up this money out of what they earn

and save, hope to get “a fair rental” for their money. These folks, the report tells us, are capitalists "and so -are you!” Because we own our possessions, we are “capitalists” and this is a “capitalist” country. Why Make “WE HAVE a‘eapiA Profit? talist* industry in the United States because millions . . . use part of their ‘capital* to own and operate the most productive farms, stores, mines, and factories on this earth. And that is the reason why we, as ..a people, have .the highest standard living of any nation in the world. No other system in any country, at any time, by any other means has 'ever produced so much for so many at such little cost as our ‘capitalist* business does in America.” The company says frankly that it made money in 1946 about seven and one-half cents on everydollar’s worth of products sold. While this record is termed a narrow margin that calls for economy all along the line, the report makes it plain that the company expects to keep on making money. AH this, midst healthy competitors that cause them to keep putting out better products for less money. Tribute is paid to the keen competition they meet as an effective* price regulator. “A company that can’t make money is like * ship that 'can’t float. Neither is safe for you and your family. A company may lose money for a short time, just as a ship may spring a leak and take in water for a short time, but if the losses and the leak can’t be stopped soon, the, ship sinks and the company goes out of business. Passengers on the ship that sinks and employees of the company that fails are victims of disaster.”
