Urges "Honesty
And Integrity" In
Our Government
Same YardStick Used Upon
Businessmen Should
Apply Now

The time has come for the Amer
lean people to apply "the same
yardstick of honesty and integrity
to their representatives in govern
ment that they do to businessmen,
Ira Mosher, chairman of the Ma
tiOnal Association Of Manufacur-
ers, asserted last week.
He listed actions of the admins
tratiOn in Washington which, he
said, failed Ito square with the hon
esty and integrity | learned to be-
lieve in; the honesty and integrity
which is required for good govern
ment just as it is required for good
business"
Political Expediency
"A businessman, competing for
favor in the public market cannot
compromise these principles and
survive" Mr.. MOsher remarked,
adding:
Political expediency has out
weighed every other factor or COM
bination of factors in deciding the
critical issues Of the war recovery
period.
Describing as economic eye
wash" the theory advanced by some
bureaucrats that wages could be
raised without raising prices, Mr.
Mosher said that the 1872 cents al
hour wage raise sponsored by the
administration was the biggeS
single initiation factor pumped into
the national economy"
