The evening closed with dancing living, the artificial prosperity of prosperity which was enjoyed by all.—Heppner living, the artificial brought by mortaging the futura, Gazette-Times. and the evidence of a prostrate country moving with inevitable cer tainty toward its next prostration are circumstances which prompt thoughtful citizens to think in terms of remedial and constructive poli cies, even in the presence of a tem porary artificial amelioration. You who are assembled here at this Congress of The Cooperative League in the Interest of efficiency in business have done more than cogitate upon remedial measures. You represent those who not only have thought, but who have then added action to their thinking. You are laying your hands to the task of building security. The cooperative method of busi ness, which you delegates represent is wholly constructive. In contrast with the hostilities of profit busi ness which lead to the destruction of other businesses and to the wars which destroy civilization itself, the friendly methods of cooperative so cieties indicate that an economic system can be based upon the very virtues which give humanity Its strength. Cooperative Stability. Consumers’ Cooperative business is the most stable business in the world. When we examine the coun tries in which cooperation is most highly developed, there we find business most secure. With profit business collapsing on every side, it is noteworthy that in such countries as Sweden and Finland, with great cooperative movements, no failure of a cooperative business has occur red during these past six fateful years. More than 30,000 new workers were taken on in the British coop erative movement from 1929 to 1933. Today the employees number over 300,000, twice as many as at the beginning of the World War. This is the picture throughout the world. This is cooperation’s answer to unemployment. In our own country, where our cooperative statistics are regrettably inadequate, we still have abundant evidence of cooperative superiority. Among the 1500 societies in member ship in The Cooperative League, the failures, during the past six years, have been inconsiderable when com pared numerically and proportion ately with the failures in competing profit business. There are no instan ces of our cooperative consumer’s wholesales failing; but there are striking instances of the failure of competing private profit wholesales; and in some cases the cooperative wholesales have bought the build ings of their insolvent competitors and have gone on with the expan sion of cooperative business. In the United States, with the ex ception of the Postal Savings Banks, the 5,000 cooperative banks are the safest credit businesses in the coun try. Their smallness is not essential to their safety, for as they grow larger their soundness is not lost. It is the same with cooperative in surance, now the most efficient, the most equitable, and the cheap est insurance in the world. When we examine the multitude of other cooperative businesses, we find similar excellence of service, security, and economy. This is true in distribution and in production, in medical service and in recreation, as well as in the public utilities such as electric supply.
