Need Code of Ethics

ct is imperative that aims
and purposes of an organization
maintains a due regard for the
public interest. without a code
of ethics, an organization sinks
to the level of sheer opportun-
ism, and sacrifices important
permanent gains for minor tenn
porary successes. Issues must
be real and not conjured up with
a view to acquiring ephemeral
popularity among the employe
groups with its attendant pub
licity, for after all, it is essential
that organizations should realize
that publicity is means and not
