seems to hold some distinct ad-
vantages.
II Is doubtful IL anyone Is naive
enough today TO declare that state
and Federal governments should
divorce themselves completely
from the business world as we
have not yet reached that stage OF
trustful perfection.
On the other hand. the public
cannot allow the community of
business to upset the equilibrium
Of the entire country by giving
them complete freedom TO do as
they please. Perhaps they should
be given freer hand. but no EVIL
dence Is yet forthcoming TO show
that the business community has
reached an ethical and moral
plane for unqualified public trust.
This point cannot be emphasized
too strongly: we hope the days of
panics are gone forever: while
realizing that prosperity In vary
ing degrees Is only the outward re-
Election of the public's confidence
in the future,
Therefore. we can summarize
with these statements:
a. the business sector Is a
necessary part OF the successful
life OF the community.
az the business sector must
fully realize that its duties toward
community are quite similar In
pattern and scope to those Of the
individual citizen.
81 that its duties are primarily
to create and maintain a high de-
gree OF trust which Is necessary
for the public confidence.
90 that along with its other
duties toward community, must
be its realization Of a high moral
regard for the public welfare.
II business transactions affected
only business people, there would
not be sufficient grounds for the
insistence Of public treatment
But we must face the fact that
millions of people are affected by
business dealings. though they
may know nothing OF them and
may be several thousands Of miles
from the action points.
The degree OF affectation Is
sometimes great enough TO leave
wide spread segments OF communi-
ties destitute and poverty stricken
Therefore II behooves industry

men 20 cast a wary. every present

practices which may hurt the pub

THIS Is not an ideal aimed to-

consideration and respect from
