BY GEORGE w. PERKINS

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-America
is face to face with the necessity
of revolutionizing her attitude to-
ward business-that is the one
big lesson of the year ending to-
day.
The events OF our first war
year have demonstrated that we
are as unprepared for peace as
we were unprepared for war!
And unless we learn the lesson
that this years events ought to
have taught us, industrially and
economically the United States is
in for a very severe trial not only
during but after the close Of the
war.
The new principle Of bust
ness that our unpreparedness
has taught us, that COOP
ERATION and NOT COMPE-
TITION is the LIFE OF
TRADE.
On our acceptance of that
principle depends not only
the industrial welfare of this
country in the future, but
the social status OF our peO-
pie as well.
When war was declared this
country was saddled with the in
cubus of the lack of vision of our
so-ca1led political leaders of the
past 20 years. Politicians had de-
creed that ruthless competition
should rule industry.
Unrestricted competitive meth
DDS have meant keeping down to
the lowest possible point; the sub
stitution of women for men in
industry, because they would
work for less, and then the sub
stitution of children for men and
women.
We have had all the evils that
flow from unrestricted, ruthless
competition-costly trade wars
between economic units that were
fighting for the same market;
adulteration of product and bad
trade practices, reDating, secret
agreements, price cutting, low
wages, child labor and all their
attendant evils.
For the last Is or 20 years
there has been a sharp cleavage
between the business world and
the political world in the United
States, and a house divided
against itself cannot stand.
j Our business leaders had Wis
ion and courage rs years ago.
They saw, for instance. what Ger
many was doing in unifying her
efforts, consolidating her indus
tries, launching out with gerat In
dustrial units to capture the
trade of the world.
They saw that she was eliminat-
ing ruthless, competitive methods
at home and adopting cooperative
methods in order that she might
engage in a death gripping strug-
gle for trade abroad. They saw
that she was by this method ob-
tanning an efficiency in trade that
had never before been witnessed
/ Our business leaders, observing
all this, realized that the enorm-
GUS development in all methods
tof intercommunication made CO
operation necessary; they realized
that Germany's phenomenal com
mercial success was founded on
cooperation and they set about In
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-12-31

this country to adopt co-opera-
tive methods.
When this era began, our so
called statesmen fought 1t tooth
and nail, beginning their fight
with the passage of the Sherman
Raw, and continuing 1t vigorously
in every direction for the last 20
years. The climax was reached
In this memorable year of 1917,
when we were compelled to go to
war with Germany and found that
we could not get anywhere in our
struggle with her without speedily
adopting the methods she had
pursued for SO many years in her
Industrial development.
In short, we found that we
not only had no army and NO
munitions of war worth
speaking of, but we also had
no modern economic indus
trial policy worthy Of the
name. We found we would
have to throw overheard our
outwOsn theories about the
blessings of ruthless compe-

G.. w. Perkins Tells /
What Must Be Done

review Of the lessons which
America must learn from the
events Of the first war year
I'm its conduct Of business II

ON the war and prepare for
the peace which n to follow
1t, written especially for our
readers by George w. Per-
kins, one Of the hest known

perts In the United States.

self the question, "What Il
the matter with business ?"
and answered his own ques-
ton. Whether you agree

will find his opinions worth
considering carefully.)

draw our federal laws as to per-
NIT 1t, while supervising and reg
ulating 1t In such q way as to re-
duce abuses to q minimum and
enhance public benefits to the
maximum.
And SO we find ourselves today
as unprepared for peace as we
were last spring for war. AS this
memorable year draws to a close
and the new year opens, every
thoughtful American should ask
himself these questions:
Have we proGted by our
mistakes?
Have we awakened to the
necessities OF the future?
Are we ready OF prepare
with all possible speed for
the new economic conditions
that face us?
Are we ready to accept the
new principle, viz, that CO
operation is henceforth to be
the life of trade and that
ruthless competition is no
longer the life Of trade?
The problem, brought fully be-
fore us in the events of the past
year, Is the most important and
also the most fascinating of any
that this country has ever solved.
1t calls for the most supremely
unselfish and patriotic effort that
the people Of our land are capable
of giving.
