LEGISLATION AND BUSINESS

A weak point in our government
is that one set of men is legislating
about business and industries; an
other set is conductin business and
industries.
The initiative of progress and pros
perity lies in the hands of leaders
Of business and founders of enter
prises. The politician too often rep
resents neither.
Political and legislative programs
are decided upon and business men
can accept or reject them-they are
not much consulted in advance.
1t is not easy to understand why
there should be any suspicion and
hostility between leaders of business
and leaders Of politics and it is grow
ing less.
This condition is not found in other
great commercial nations and some
of them are as democratic as ours.
There should be more co-opera-
tive between those In business and
those who understand politics in flu
ture.
