BABSON Discusses Picking Young Executives

Not especially except in the professions. OF course,
if the college, in addition to developing schOastcaly
competent individuals, has done something about
character and personality development then have

lip-service to character education.
WHAT BUSINESS NEEDS

aspect of job recommendation. What business needs

wisdom and honesty, personal philosophy of self
reliance and the ability to act and get things done.

Deflation Seems To Be Setting In

Might club owners in Sydney,
Australia, are grumbling these davs

said a feature news story in a re-
cent issue Of the authoritative Wall

In equatorial Singapore. a

Such developments as these, the

the point is that many an economist

lively economic critics outside this
house imagine"
According to the Wall Street
Journal roundup, several factors
seem to be responsible for the re-
versal of the price trend First,
world production of physical goods
is very high. Second, the outbreak
of the Korean War started scare
buying on a global scale and sent
many prices clear out of line Third,
extremely stiff taxes are cutting
deeply into the buying power of the
people in this country and abroad.
Our per capita taxes are over five
times as great as in 1898, and other
nations are in a comparable fix.
Some of the breaks in prices cit
ed by the Journal are very great.
For instance, copper reached so
cents a pound in world markets
after the Korean war started--now
it is down to 40 cents and less.
Wool slumped from a high Of $3.50
to S1.55. Cotton touched as cents,
then slid back to under AZ.
Here is how the Journal summed
up the economic situations in a
number of major countries:

THE DEMOCRAT ALBATROss

Most Americans-Republi and Demo-
Gratis alike-haVe reason to regard President
Truman's policies with genuine alarm. 1t is
more and more apparent why 80 per cent of
1900 Democrat county chairmen recently
polled, thought it good thing for the Party
that Mr.. Truman will not run for reelection.
By his policies, President Truman has not
only done decisive harm to the country, but
to his Party as well. Never before has the
Democrat Party been obliged to openly con-
done corruption in government Never be-
fore has the Democrat Party been obliged to
defend the dictatorial policies inherent in the
Presidents high-handed seizure of private
property. Being set upon a disastrous policy
of spend and spend and spend, with the objec-
tive of electing along wholly partisan lines,
the Democrat Party has today come to the
point of open split. The South is in rebellion
against the North faction of the Democrat
Party, as is underlined by statement at
tributed to James S. Peters, Georgia Demo
cratic Executive Committee chairman: '"The
South will sit at the head of the table or /
will be damned if we will sit at ALL"
Accepting the illusion that the South will
vote Democrat under any circumstances, the
President has ignored the desires and wishes
of Southern voters and has espOused Socialism
and the ideas of the Welfare State-which he
believes will gain the vote of the city ma
chine in heavily populated areas of the Uni
ted States.
Mr.. Truman has chosen not to run again,
but he is determined that his successor shall
have his record" to run upon Never, did a
man have less to run upon. The Truman
record will hang like an albatross about the
neck of the Democrat Candidate for Presi-
Gent-the symbol of sure defeat in Novem-
her.

THE MYTH OF GOOD GRADES
For years now many educators have promoted
the notion that the qualities which bring
man high grades in school also make for success
on the job Nothing could be further from the truth.
One hundred and fifty years ago when the purpose
of our colleges primarily to educate for the
learned professions there may have been some
direct relationship between grades and job success.
But college is vastly different institution today
from what it was then. Several research studies
indicate that good grades have little bearing
on a mans job success in business.
1 am assuming, of course, that job success is
measured by dollars and cents. / know that some
teachers will challenge the monetary yardstick. If
the financial yardstick is not adequate measure,
why is it that many teachers have left the pro-
fession for jobs in industry? Or why do boards of
high school teachers slave to their Masters
Degrees? Certainly, with imitation today college
students and their parents place an ever-increasng
emphasis on the monetary value of a college edu-
cation.
GRADES AND JOB SUCCESS
For years now have been an employer and
since 1919 and the founding of Babson Institute l
have been seriously interested in education My OBJ
servatiOn is that in the average college the ability
to sit read, comprehend memorze and reply parrot
fashion to the professor will insure good grades
Do these particular abilities pay off in business?

WHY INCOME SHRINKS

If you wonder who's to blame when your
income doesn't buy what it did few years
ago, you'll be safe in deciding that the Fed
eral government is chiefly responsible.
First of all, if you and each member of
your family pay your proportionate share
OF the S85, 600 budget for fiscal 1853,
on a population basis it will cost you S531
apiece. If you have a wife and two children,
that means $2,124 off your gross income.
Worse still, the dollars you have left after
this payment are worth only SO cents each
as compared with the prewar dollar. The
government not only will take $2,124 of
your income, but practically has salved the
value of your remaining dollars by follow
ing inflatiOnary policies.
And the situation won't get any better
until majority of the 155,0OO,OO Ameri-
cans demand Federal economy and enforce
that demand.

THE fact that French prices are

BRITAIN: Unemployment has ap-

have weakened. Foreign demand
for British goods has contracted.
BELGIUM: A Brussels bank re-

decline, with the exception of
wages"
CANADA: Wholesale prices have
been declining for many months.
The government has relaxed INSTALL
ment buying regulations because of
tagging sales of consumer goods.
DENMARK: The market for
Danish goods has shrunk, and un-
employment is about 10 per cent
greater than a year ago.
UNITED STATES: The whole
sale price index, which has been
slipping slowly down for a year, is
at the lowest level since March,
1851. There has been much price
cutting on durable goods, such as
televisiOn sets, and some other COM
modities as well. Our factory output
is moro than double that Of 1889.

TAPE RECORDING BRINGS
PASToRATE

MONTREAL - (P1 n Rev Alex
S. Renton, of Scotland, received a
call from the First Presbyterian
Church of suburban Verdune after
the congregation had listened to a
tape recording of his voice.
Unable to come to Canada to
preach, the Scotsman had a tape
recording made and mailed it to
Verdun. The congregation met and
listened to the play-back. AS soon
as the recording ended, the MEM
bers voted to ask the Rev. Mr..
Renton to become minister.
The call to the Rev. Mr.. Renton
follows a decision of the church
some years ago to select its pastors
from outside Canada. The Rev. Mr..
Renton succeeds the late Rev. Dom
aid M. Correal who was born in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and left a church
at Plainfield. N. J., to become pas

Things have gone from bad to worse in
Korea. President Truman is bent upon
wrestling some kind of truce agreement from
the Reds before election time.
At the average cost of 6O-plus American
soldiers killed week, 14O-plus wounded, and
$5 billion year in expenditure of money, the
nightmare of Korea grinds on.
When the truce talks were initiated last
July, the Reds were suffering terrific losses
and facing the prospect of outright defeat
United Nations spOl1esmen at that time re-
vealed that only by continuing the offensive
could the Communists be brought to sign
an armistice
Communist truce talks serve a very use
full purpose, giving them time to build up re-
serves, reft and replenish their armor and
material and men. In particular, they give
them the opportunity to build up their air
power.
It has long been obvious to the most op-
timistic of men that the Reds-North Kore-
an, Chinese, and Russian-have no intention
OF concluding an honorable peace in Korea.
And if they should, there is ample evidence
that they will never abide by the terms of
any aTmistice agreed upon. They have

CONTROLS WORSE THAN DROUGHT

The worst drought in it's SO years of his
tory is being suffered by the fabulous King
Ranch, which is the largest single beef-pro-
ducing operation in the United States and
perhaps the entire world. It's cattle prOduc-
tiOn has been reduced from $4,000 to around
$4,000 because of a dry spell which is now
in its third year. In the last year alone the
ranch owners have spent 81 100000 on en-
ergency measures.
Yet, bad as such drought is, said Robert
j. Keberg, the ranch'S president, government
price controls are even worse when it comes
to reducing the nations meat supplies And
controls, he added, fall hardest on the small
producers and feeders, on whom we depend
for most of our meat.
Mr.. Kleberg cited Argentina as an exam
pie Of the disruption controls cause That
country historically has had beef in vast
quantities. Yet a short time ago the PerOn
government imposed two meatless days a
week-a measure made necessary because
controls that were first imposed in 1926 and
have been made tougher since have material
ly cut beef production. AS Mr.. Kleberg said,
''The imposition of all sorts of artificial con-
trolS d.stuTbS the cycle planning and conf
dence OF the producer" and, as an inevitable
result, production sags.
Only in the free market is the producer
assured Of price which will honestly reflect
the economic conditions of the moment,
whether that price be high or low. Only
in the free market can the law of supply and
demand-the natural law which governs all
sound economic activity-functiOn to the
benefit of producer and consumer alike. And
only in the free market can we have cOntinu-

OUR EXPENSIVE PRESIDENT

President Truman, through his
press conference on Thursday.
promised the nation that he will
take every action possible to get
the strike-closed steel mills back
in production.
Commerce Secretary Charles
Sawyer, given the job of running
the steel industry when the Presi-
dent ordered seizure by the Govern
ment, said on Thursday that he was
mot wise enough to say what the
price settlement should be-" and
would do nothing for the next day
or two in the matter of wage in
creases, or getting the men back
to work. Instead, he is urging the
steel management and labor again
get together.
Besides the vital issue of COnsti-
tutional authority and the initial
deadlock on wage demands and al
lOwable steel price increases, there
is now considerable difference of
opinion as to whether the steel
workers are presently striking
against the Government, which
CIO President Philip Murray has
piously said they would never do.
Secretary Sawyer says that since
Judge David A. Pine decided on
Tuesday that "the Government was
not lawfully in possession of the
plants" there has not been a strike
against the Government thus far.
However, it should be remember
ed that the patriotic Mr.. Murray
called the strike within the hour
that Judge Pine announced his de-
cision, and seventeen hours before
he signed orders directing the re-
turn of the mills to their private
owners.

the Koreans with weapons which
would enable them to stand against
Chinese attack. and to give them
such economic and arms aid in
peace and military aid from the
sea and air in war as we might be
able to afford.
The Administration, however, re-
fused to use the various measures
suggested by General Macarthur
as a means Of conquering all Of Ko-
rea and setting up an independent
Republic under the protection of the
United Nations. Their only pro-
posal was a more or less endless
war in which we would advance to
the Thirty-eighth Parallel but would
not attempt to 60 beyond that point
to any material extent. Such stale
mate accomplished no purpose. ex-
cept to eliminate the idea that we

Milford chronicle., 1952-05-09

Pine signed the orders, the U. S.
Court of Appeals granted a stay re-
turning the industry to the Govern
ment to provide an opportunity for
a Supreme Court decision of the
issue. Thus, it is hard to see Just
how Mr.. Murray and the Admins
tratiOn spokesman can convince the
public there has been no strike
against the Government.
The President also said on
Thursday that he had no ambition
to be dictator, that all he wanted
to do was keep the country run
ming.
1t looks very much like he failed
to make the grade on both.
If he is now determined to take
every action possible to restore
steel production, why did he trip
up his own man. c. E. Wilson, in

IN a single century we have moved
from the most primitive wood-burn-

content for our railroads to con-
tinue their program of Dieseliza-

like the idea of faster schedules,

ing his responsibility, we like the
idea of the engineer being comfort
able and relaxed and with a better
view of where he is going.
We are also fond of the Diesel
because of it's spectacular tOn-mile
economy. What's that to us? 1t
could we'll mean the difference be-
tween a free, competitive railroad
industry and permanent govern
ment ownership and operation of
the rails. Government regulation,
such as we now have, is necessary
and in the public interest. Govern
ment ownership would be a long
step toward a sOcialized state of
faceless people, the kind of a cOun-
try MussOlini used to run.
