The Great Joy Ride Is Over

George F.. Johnson Of the Endicott
johnson corporation in q recent In
terview on business affairs enumer-
ated five points which seem TO owe
tho situation completely. He is quoted
as follows:
81. An astounding disposition among
workers and buyers to get % and
give less.
20. An orgy of extravaganza fol-
lowed by an almost complete cessation
Of buying. The world went out on a
JOY ride without enough gas to get
home.
80. A refusal by everyone to rec
ognize that the excursion was over
and that some real work had to be
done.
"a. \ general hope that II was the
duty of the government TO preserve
busincss-by which was meant that
should be fixed by law and
free credit be extended 3 10 that no
losses would have to be taken on raw
and finished material.
'5. The preponderance in tho voice

the right thing, but that about 10 per
cent can be trusted to do the wrong
thing. It is this 10 per cent crowd that
makes a great fuss about rights with
out a word about duties.
whether enc is treating with A.
900 employees and a stock OF raw ma
teriai running to the lens of millions,
or whether one is treating with a
half-dozcn employees and n stock ex-
pressed in thousands OF dollars, the
fundamental factors and policies are
quite alike.
1.-THE problem Is to give to h pub
lie an article which the public thinks
is right in quality ard price. What the
manufacturer or the retailer thinks on
these matters is quite beside the point
ct is the public alone that deter
mines values-which is so obviously
a truth hat it may easily be forgot
