Diversification—Sound and Unsound
A warning that diversification is not in itself
a remedy for farm ills is sounded in the inaugural
nnmher of the agricultural news letter issued by
the Agricultural Service of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States to the 1,500 business
organizations constituting its membership.
“ There is much need for a clear understanding
of conditions which bring about a laek of diversifica
tion” its advice runs, “ just as there is need for
the exercise of the most careful judgment before
springing at conclusions based upon such conditions.
Diversification often is interpreted as calling for
a general upheaval in the production program of'a
one-crop region. So often is it conceived that such
a region which has suffered acutely as a result of
low price levels, brought about by over-production
of a single crop, h a s only to turn its back upon
jthat crop and devote its energies to other production
in order to gain the economic stability Xyhich it
lacks. That is not diversification. It is plunging.
And there may .be just as much danger to a section
from radically changing its cropping system as
from too intensive- production of the long e a h ^
lished commodity.
Commercial organizations laboring to improve
the status of their trade-area agriculture proceed
with great care before advocating diversification
in such a way as to stampede a' community ifito
wholesale production of some . commodity which
might 'w r y easily'run into stiff competition from
other regions where the prddnlkon and marketing,
problems long since have'been Waived.”
Business Without Profit
Not only do many corporations in the United
< States do business without profit but many Ameri^
can business men. believe that it is justifiable to
: incur a loss by taking over business from a com-
. petitor a t.less than -the cost of doing it. These
rather startling facts wene disclosed by £ . W.
McCullough, Manager of the Department of Manu
facture of the Chamber of Commerce of tne United
States, in an address before the National Associa
tion of Marble Dealers.
z
,
Out of 4,454 corporations engaged in the manu
facture of stone, clay and glass products, Mr. Mc
Cullough pointed out, in 1926, one* of the coun
try’s most prosperous years, 1,701' reported no
net income. “ There are a number of other lines,”
he added, “ which did not make as good a showing.”
. “ In every line of industry there will be found
- • a minority doing business at a loss. The excuse
these folks give for selling goods without ^profit and
doing business without profit under certain circum
stances would,fill.-a volume, but few, i f ’ any, may
I
fie considered ’sound.”
Thp Temedy for this condition, said Mr.*Mc-
^ - Cnllougk, lies in cost accounting, Which is being
taken up by njniiv .lpips of industry, some members
of whjch are discovering for the first time whether
Li# certain of .their products are being sold at a profit
, o£ at a loss. “ It is obvious,” he adds, “ that you
paanot do business without a profit,’’—advice which
j « e a r n s t&‘ be necessary even during this day of cor-
: < porate enterprise.

upon receiving this news can only
be Imagined. Standard had ear-
tain claims on the Briku fields
which would have been worthless
once Sinclair got in. Sinclair had
been challenging that great cor
poration both at home and in the
foreign field. Bach challenges
were most unnsrial insofar as Am
erican oil . men were concerned.
Bat when the lid blew off Tea

longer a serious rival of Standard
on in the great Ruspion oil field«.
There w as no longer any pos-'
slbillty that Sinclair could,obtain
American recognition and there
was oven less chance that he
could raise a 6660,000,00« Rus

Soon afterward, Sinclair lost

halien Island, where he also had
a concession from the Soviets the

tingent on American recognition.
In 1618, Sinclair also signed a
preliminary agreement With the
Persian government to exploit the
oil fields of north Persia. Thia
was conditioned on « 610,000,-
000 loan. Here again the Tea
pot Dome story appeared on the
scene and was need by Sinclair’s*
