HUMAN ELEMENT
BIG FACTOR IN
REIMBURSEMENT

NEW YORK, May 6. -- Rebirth
of normal business awaits new at
titude OF man toward his Job. James
s. Alexander, president of the Ma
tional Bank OF Commerce in New
York, said in an address before the
semi-annual meeting OF the national
association of cotton manufacturers
at Boston, Mass. Correction of the
business and social confusion of the
times must he sought, he urged. not
only in technical banking and busi-
ness adjustments, but more particu-
larly In the human element which
has set free great forces that must be
brought under control before busi-
ness can again be on a sound basis.
Mr.. Alexander's subject was THE
Basis OF Better Times"
"Never before in the history of the
world has there been such universal
and profound change in human con-
duct as we have seen in the period
since the World War began" Mr.. AL
exander declared. Never before has
human conduct produced such varia-
tions in business away from what we
are accustomed to consider a nor
NAL course.
1T is a question of the personal
attitude OF man toward his Job. Look
ing at this in large way we see ma
lions still struggling and fighting one
another. Within nations we see labor
stili creating turmoil, while the atti-
tude Of employers Is not always what
II should be. Business stability and a
new normal for the conduct OF the
worlds economic life cannot be found
while these conditions persist.
TOO many people today hope and
expect something will be done fer
them although their interests would
be served by their doing full days
work for their pay. There is an effort
on the part OF workers to retain the
advantages won during the abnormal
war period OF shorter hours, higher
pay and easy work, regardless OF the
present lack OF an economic basis for
the continuance OF such conditions.
The fundamental principle OF enlight.
ened labor leadership today should
be to inculcate a return to the doc
trine OF an honest days work for an
honest days pay. Inflated wages and
the non-competitive conditions OF the /
war and the later boom period pro-
duced inefficiency and irrespon-
ability.
1T is essential TO the welfare OF la |
Dor itself to Danish this attitude. not
because individual efficiency and a !
full return OF value received In The
pay envelope mean bigger profits for
the employer, but because they mean
better times for the workers them
selves. Workers cannot. in the long

run, consume more than they. pro.
duce. II wages are too high In rela-
tion to the exchange value Of the pro-
duct, wages must come down, for no
wage can be permanently maintained
at a point above what Il is worth
measured in terms OF other products,
Further, employers must not seek
to drive wages below their true value
thus measured. There Is this recip-
rocal personal responsibility involved
in the relation OF workers and em-
ployers-on the one hand to render
efficient service for every dollar de-
manded; on the other to render over
to labor every dollar earned.
There are elements OF personal
responsibility in banking relations
also that must be maintained on high
standards. II is not sufficient for a
banker in loaning money merely to
consider whether 1t is going to be
safe and profitable for his own bank.
Neither is Il sufficient to add to this
the consideration as to whether II is
going to help his customer make n
profit He must consider these things.
But he must also consider whether,
from the point OF view OF public in
terest. II is a good and constructive !
thing TO do. He must consider wheth-
er society needs that activity or
whether the general situation will be
better off without II. The times are
still too serious for wasted effort.
for unproductive enterprise or for
irresponsible ventures.
Never has the moral responsible |
ity OF governments been greater. Any |
government that countenances priv
ileges to any class as against another
class on the ground OF social justice
undermines the stability of society.
For us In America a particularly en-
circumstance is the broad
minded. sound. human and intelligent
way in which the presen: administra
tion is attacking the problems OF the
day.
"A return OF social stability rests
upon recognition by both nations and
individuals that reconstruction can
come only by hard work, that bust
ness can endure only on the basis OF
a sincere discharge OF obligations,
whether they be in the form OF exec
utive duties or in the form OF days
labor. and that a high sense OF per-
sonal responsibility must prevail in
all the relations OF life.
"The most frequently asked ques-
tion OF the day is when we may ex-
pect to return TO normal business.
Forecasts based only on technical
business considerations are worth lit
tie. The rebirth OF normal business
awaits a new attitude OF man toward
his job"
Referring to the credit situation.
Mr.. Alexander said: II
The remedy is not to be found In
easier credits or cheaper money.
which might serve as an artificial but
temporary stimulant, creating a sit
uation worse than the present one.
The availability OF credit must de-
pend squarely and without equivoca-
lion on the individual position OF the
borrower. No man is entitled to bank
ng credit unless the business ends to

let me hear what it is, said Mr..
Fox, putting on his pipe very hard.
He was quite filed with pride hearing
how the clever tricks of his family had
been talked of for generations by the
wood fook
81 would like to know just how Brel
Fox got out of that well when he went
down that time Brer Rabbit was In tbs
other bucket. You remember tha'
story, don't you? ] always wondered i
he wasn't really drowned OF if the maj
with a great big gun shot Brer Fox.
MIR. Rabbits ears stuck right w
straight, for now he was sure he haC
touched on very tender subject witt
the Fox family because Brer Rabbit reall,
had played very clever trick on MIR
Fox in that story.
'Mr. Fox stopped smoking and took
his pipe from his mouth. He saw tn
twinkle In the. .eyes Of Mr.. Rabbit ant
he knew that right then and there h,
hsd to tell how his ancestor really die
get out of that we'll or Mr.. Rabbit woulC
always have the laugh on him.
"Shuh,' said he, II guess you neve
asked member of my family before o.
you would have found out all about i
long ago.
you see, when Brer Fox jumped ir
that bucket, he really wanted a gooc
cool driak of water and be also knew vel
enough that Brer Rabbit was scared
nearly out of his wits, so he thought he
would do Brer Rabbit kindness and
at the same time get drink of cool,
well water.
"lll say though that he did expect
that Mr.. Rabbit would haul up that
bucket TO repay his kindness instead Of
running of as he did, making such joke
out OF it and expecting Mr.. Man to come
with a gun and maybe shoot my kind
hearted ancestor.
But the way have always heard the
story is that when Mr.. Man saw Mr..
Rabbitt running he went after him with
gun instead OF going to the well as Mr.
Rabbit had intended and expected he
would, and Mr.. Dog, he ran along too,
just TO see the fun. ?
Did they get him?" inquired Mr..
Rabbit, his nose wiggling with excite
ment. Il thought Brer Rabbit ran back
to work clearing up new ground to
make garden2"
Well, he did after a while, said Mr..
Fox, but first he had an awful race with
MI Man. and Mr. Dog and when Mr..
Mans gua went baag, bang, behind him.
Brer Rabbit lost something
What" asked Mr. Rabbit, standing
firss on one hind foot and then on the
other.
'The end Of his tail, replied Mr..
Fox, and that is why oil your family
now have a stuhby tail instead Of nice
bushy one like my family: because one
OF your ancestors tried to play trick
on one Of mine
"Rut Brer Fox is still in the well"
said Mr. Rabbit.

chasing Brer Rabbit" said Mr.. Fox.
for though Mf Man shot off the end of
his tail, Brer Rabbit could run and run
he did.
But Brer Fox is still in the we'll

had windows on the side next the court
yard. There were doors ON the other
side. A single light burned. No one was

drawn aside Beside this was another

things seemed to indicate that this was

why was he not in his bed? Probably
he could not sleep while he awaited the
result of this midnight enterprise OF his
troops. Certainly the servants in the
chateau were alseep 1t was apparent
that the six guards, four Of whom we
had disposed of, were the only soldiers
left at the chateau, for, if there had been
any others in the guard-houso, they
would have been awakened by the fight
in the courtyard. How many troops
were left IN town,l could not know, but
they would not come to the chateau dur
