IL the ostrich or the eagle the real
national symbol?
The doubt not infrequently presents
itself, and certainly is raised by a re-
port just issued by the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers.
The report is based on remarks
ELECTED from 10000 business men
upon the state of business. it's dag
nosis and cure. Says the report:
II is of interest to note that
fully 80 per cent of the opinions
expressed demand cessation OF
political agitation. The belief that
our industrial ills are the result
OF political agitation Is wide
spread, and there is no question
that our business men are deter
mined to remove the disturbing
element
II Is of interest to note this. Also
II is both exasperating and discour-
aging.
What these business men have yet
to learn is that when the causes for
agitation" cease there viii be ces-
sation OF agitation, and not before.
What they have yet to learn is that
no agitation" can be kept up for po-
litical reasons as long as what they
call agitation in this instance has
been kept up.
What they have yet to learn Is that
the way to bring agitation to an end
is manfully to attack the causes OF
popular unrest, and not the unrest.
The narrowness and naivete of this
report is an astonishing evidence OF
the neglect of many business men to
think of public questions as public
questions. They think business exists
for business men. 1t exists by and
for the whole people, and the people
will agitate when they are dissatisfied
with conditions.
