Business and Peace
A world founded on credit, con

of peace, but a real peace movement
must be linked with the interests of
the business world-
Any peace movement may express
ethical or religious ideals but must
rest on a sound concept or embodi
ment that is an expression af an in
dustrial whole.
A permanent modern peace move
ment must be a natural product and
outgrowth of the industrial era, as in
dustries within each state or nation
have to be placed above and made se
cure against disorder and rebellion.
* The growth and development
modern nations is a process pf in
dustrial paeifioation and the same
process must produce peace between
nations.
•
Peaceful investments of capital to
create conditions that secure payrolls
and distribution of industrial pro-,
ducts will be the final solution.
Investments of capital, running in
to billions, and people generally en
tering into partnership with business,
will produce a community of interests
throughout the world which wifi ba
