European Profit Seen i'm u. S. Stand

Europe. When any country Or PEG.
pie feels itself menaced, the first and
instant repercussion is disclosed In
propa ganda to destroy the moran
situation of the potential enemy.
The very impregnability of our
present position, the apparent weak
ness of any possible antagonist, en-

are at once striking and not without

European and South American worlds

Warnings Are Sounded.
To say that envy, jealousy, malice
explain foreign sentiment toward the
United States is to say what the

had to pay in the end for a systematic
neglect TO heed warning signals. The

IT is the employer land by this mean
the managing executiyel, not the
rade-unionisi, that is the important
factor. The education OF the employ
ers in employer-employe relations
would. therefore, seem to be OF at least
equal concern with workers educa-
ton. The matter must be attacked
through the engineering schools and
professional institutions from which
executives are recruited. through
Government research agencies which

In conclusion. It may we'll be en-.
phasized that the Improvement Of in

problem be seen whole. An attitude
by which only the workers are taken
into account is better than an utter

by human situations! In the former
case they usually display poise and
patience. In the latter they too often
give way to a futile evaporation.
They are, in most cases, class
conscious.
All Systems Subject to Criticism.
What influences have made the en-
ployer elass-conscious? The following
theory may be true.
History shows that every social and
economic system has been subjected
to criticism. The capitalist regime, In
an era Of political freedom, has prob
ably been subject to a more universal
and more continuous attack than any
other system. Employers have been
made to feel that they are the OPP
pressors. Because under this system.
he leadership Is thus constantly
under the charge of exploiting it's sub.
ordinates, inner feelings of uneasiness
or guilt, which modern psychologists
assert we all possess within our un-
conscious areas. have been stirred up.
Thus the relations of employers
with labor are tinged with an I'M
peasant emotional state, which makes
the whole subject disagreeable to
them. And as with many distasteful
subjects. there is a tendency to neg,
lect labor relations. This tendency
may be compared to the fight rom
,~a'ity that we find in person VIII
does not want to face disturbing sit
taation.
The employer reacts In one of sew
eral ways. The whole matter may be
left TO subordinates to handle, who use
archaic methods handed down from
generation TO generation. The class
conscious spirit In other cases takes
on an aggressive form, a hard-boiled,
die-hard spirit, picking off agitators,
fighting all attempts at unionization,
and other direct methods result, and
success is measured by the extent to
which these measures keep the labor
force submissive. The effect of class
consciousness on still other employers
is that they adopt an attitude o.
O. eyole1t paternalism. To borrow
term from modern psychology, In a
sort of evangelical spirit, they over
compensate for their own classroom
seriousness by desire to do good to
their people. 1t was in this mood
that good deal of the welfare move
ment was conducted. Some call 1t
playing Santa Claus to the worker.
Imagination Is Necessary.

trader. a negotiator who brings this
quality to his activities is not called
sentimental We rather admire this
quality and point to 1t as a badge of
success. But when 1t comes to human
relations with the rank and file OF
labor, such breadth of view Is often
characterized as soft and sentimental.
This view is held not merely by execu-

1t is probably perfectly idle to ex-
pect the American people to accept
the fact that all over the world the
United States is coming to have for
many peoples the same significance
that Germany had for certain states
in 1914. 1t is equally useless to at
tempt to convince Americans that the
vast power which now lies in our
hands. power which is physical. eco

Menace Seen in Power.
Yet ii is a very large fact in the

countries a great danger and real

clear similarity between what South
America has always thought of us
and what Europe is today at the
least beginning to believe There is
common basis of apprehension, If
not fear, between Europe and South
America, and it is developing. More
over. Europe has every reason to well
come and assist the accentuation of
South American apprehension.
Nor can any one wisely mistake the
fact that in our recent dealings with
both Latin American states EuroDe
sees revealed the purpose it has come
to associate with us, the purpose of
enormous imperialism. In the eyes
of European people we are increas-
ingly becoming the great imperial.

come about.
Once the problem of organizing hu-
man beings has been invested with
the prestige that will arise from the
awakened interest of major execu-
tives it will seep down through all
grades of executives. 1t is a problem
which must be understood by the en-
tire hierarchy of executives, The
proper treatment of this subject at
