THE VALUE OF FRANKNESS

Dispatches from the London stock
exchange reported a black week in
all American railroad securities. The
English men had been reading the
Interstate Commerce Commission 5
report on the New Haven road. They
regarded it as a typical picture Of
American financial methods.
How shall the railroads and other
corporations regain public confidence
al home and abroad? Here is a ques-
ton to which business men should
apply themselves, regardless wheth-
er they feel that the government has
or has not been fair and just in
its treatment of the roads.
Certain men are born diplomatists
They are always playing a game.
Their creed is, What people don t
know won't hurt them" They rare
ly show up their hands.
If railroad managers of that type
buy up a lot of competing trolley
lines, they give the excuse that the
trolleys will be valuable to their bus
mess as feeders. But probably
the real reasoni that they want a
monopoly.
Undue publicity often hurts BUSH
ness enterprises. But the diplomat
lists do not escape publicity by their
indirections. They underestimate
the sagacity of the people with whom
they deal Their real motives may
be apparent. Their plans and pur-
poses are well known, but a doubt
is cast over their own sincerity.
For this reason, it is often the
finest diplomacy to show up your
hand. If the public can guess your
hand from your play, it is foolish to
try to conceal it.
The railroads have been blamed
for many acts that public sentiment
did not condemn at the time they
were committed. 1t is only fair to
say that the great majority Of rail
road managers have abandoned dark
lantern methods, and have succeed
ed in winning back much public con
fidence that was lost London is
wrong if it thinks the New Haven
story fairly typifies American fl
nance today.
