AMERICAN BUSINESS EN-
DANGERED BY POLITICAL
ANIMOSITIES

The Manufacturers Record
in calling attention to letter
from George M. Verify, which
it describes as "a plea for unity
of constructive action rather
than destructive criticism, a de-
claration for a moratorium on
partisan political criticism of the
administration in power" says:
1T is time to call halt; time
that petty politics were laid
aside; time that every citizen
gave whole hearted cooperation
to orderly government procedure
that we as a nation may measure
up to our destiny so that our
future prosperity may be un-
marred and our people continue
to enjoy the fruits of their labor
to a degree greater than ever be-
fore known"
Mr.. Verify is chairman of the
board of the American Rolling
Mill Company, of Middletown,
Ohio, and one of the outstanding
business men of the nation. He
is the head of a great steel comp
any which sells in the world S
markets. His position and his
record as a citizen permits him
to speak with authority and un-
derstanding of national problems.
He said in part:
I'VE must diminish our part
isan mindedness and our selfish
sectarianism in the inertest of
the common good, We should
first evidence such broadmind-
edness by more loyal support of
the national administration, in
stead of handicapping them in
every way as we are doing today
to an extent never done before.
We have at this time a chief
executive whose integrity is un-
questioned. He is able, broad
minded, patriotic and thoroughly
conversant with business con
ditions and with the economics
of business and he understands
the worlds situation. He desires
to act in everything in the best
interest of the nation and its
future prosperity.
Every basic national industry
is in sound condition and ready
to use its productive and con-
structive powers to the limit just
as soon as this temporary period
of adjustment has passed as it
will within a comparatively short
time. Let US get behind our ma
tional administration and we will
soon be going ahead as we have
never done before"
