FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION I
A
MESSAGE
TO
Promotion of Honesty.
TION IN EUROPE.
One of the most marked effects of
the movement is the promotion of
business integrity. This is a matter
of common observation and experi
ence and is well known throughout
the cooperative world. For example
where there is a small rural coop
erative credit society, a person or
dinarily cannot borrow from it un
less he has acquired a reputation for
reliability. As a consequence a loan
comes as a certificate of character.
In agricultural cooperation high
prices are secured only because the
good quality of the produce is guar
anteed by the society.
In urban cooperation where con
sumers unite to manufacture goods
for their own consumption there is
no incentive to cheat, for consumers
and stockholders are the same in
dividuals. No one therefore can gain
anything by adulteration.
The promotion of honesty by the
cooperative movement comes also
more directly through the atmos
phere it creates. Cooperative busi
ness promotes what is called the co-
operative spirit. It is a conscious
ness of brotherhood. Under its in
fluence one does not wish to injure
one’s neighbor. Cheating and sharp
practice are so out of place and al
together discordant with the coop
erative spiritt as tc insure their in
frequency.
Social Effects of Cooperation.

the cooperative moevment are no

SOCIAL EFFECTS OF COOPERA
(From the Consumer’s Co-op.)
(Editor’s note—In keeping with
both the Christmas spirit and the
coming to America of Toyohiko
Kagawa as the exponent of the
social and cultural values which
result from the organization of
Consumers’ Cooperatives, we are
now most happy to be able to pub
lish a condensation of the report
made to the Federal Council of
Churches by Rev. C. O. Gill in
cluded in the Council’s Annual
Report of 1914. Rev. Gill was sent
to Europe by the Commission of
the Church and Social Service to
study Cooperation in Europe. We
doubt if any better summary has
ever been made of the social ef
fects of Cooperation than in this
document which has undoubtedly
been practically unknown during
all these years.)
It was thought that if there is in
operation a system of business based
on brotherhood and Christian ethics
it is worth while for the churches
in the United States to become moro
familiar with it.
