Germanism in American Business

National Food administrators
Hoover flays profteers fore and aft.
He does not care. he says. whether it
be farmer. laborer, manufactured,
middleman or retailer. no person in
the United States has right to
make one cent more profit out of any
employment than he would have
made under pre-war conditions
Every cent taken beyond this
standard is money distracted from
the blood and sacrifice Of the Ameri.
can people,
And then Mr.. Hoover celebrates his
position, that none may misunder-
stand. in the following:
"Extortionate profits are not
necessary TO secure the maximum eff
fort on the part of the American peo-
pie in this war. If we are going to
adopt that theory. we have admitted
everything that has been charged
against us of being the most ma
terialistic, the most avaricious, and
the most vcnal of people in this
world.
III we are going to admit that the
government. in order to secure the
supreme effort of its citizens in pro-
duction, must hribc them with money
TO TINS extra eXertion, we have adj
United weakness of American char
acter, of American civilization and of
American ideals that puts us on a
plane below German Kultur.
DO not mistake that am saving
that prices and wages should return
10 the prc-war normal. because the
incidence or war before we Joined it
had llfted our costs of operation, and
there must he compensation in ever,
direction.
Nevertheless. | hold that any man
VINO mas made more than his neces-
sary living out of the cost this nation
is giving in the blood of the boys we
are sending to France, should not
stand out as a bcnefactor to his
community"
Some selfish firms and individuals
may think they are getting away"
with it now. but they will find them
selves. commercially and industrially
after the war in much the same stu
alton as Germany in world affairs
unnecessary to business and progress.
They may think that all will be for
gotten before the war is ended and
peace arranged. but everywhere tabs
are being kept on those who exact the
pound OF flesh.
\ lot of geese who lay golden eggs
are being slaughtered by greed.
