gates at the annual conventions.
The speaker of the day at the XII
wants luncheon was w. F. Bushong
of the Public Relations department
of Swift & Company and his talk In
part was as follows:
"At the present time we are wit
Messing quite an increase in the ply
steal volume of business in this coun-
try. While such a condition clearly
indicates a steady Improvement in
business, ii is no positive assurance
that another period Of business pros
perity is close at hand as many people
seem to believe"
Prosperity is cumulative process.
1t is a slow building process and IL
cannot be accomplished over night.
One of the factors that brings il about
is an increase in the physical volume
OF business. such as we have today in
the steel industry, IN the automobile
industry, as evidenced by the building
boom and as shown by many other
industries. This, however, is the mere
beginning of the emulation of pros
perity.
Such condition is generally &C.
companied by a decided increase in
optimism which naturally makes ev-
eryone reader to buy with freedom.
Ii must increase however, to a point
where it brings about higher prices.
and higher price scales.
These three things-that ia, a lar
ger volume of business, increased CD
timism and higher prices-react on
the buiness situation by increasing
profits and encouraging investments,
which in turn react by augmenting
trade, justifying optimism and raising
prices.
THE cumulative working of each
OF these different factors is neces-
sary before business can be said TO
be nearing the prosperity stage. In ap-
pl Ting ia ecUpd tons TOT today to
these facts, IL becomes suite obvious
that prosperity is stillsome distance
in the future"
Tho speaker also called attention
to the necessity of educating our
people with respect to the facts and
conditions as they apply in different
industries and especially in those in
dastries were large scale production
prevails. A very high degree of spec
ialization exists in industry today. II
has been distinct boon to society
in many ways, bLc I'm one respect IL
has had harmful effect, and that
is because Of the lack of knowledge
of facts regarding the other fellow
and his business problems.
Destructive criticism predicated up
on mere supposition or hear say is
one Of the most vicious evils which
exists today. Every possible step
should be taken to eliminate il, and
the most feasible way is a campaign
OF education, wherein the true facts
are outlined to the people SO that
they can draw their own conclusions.
