In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The teletypes chattered out
this statement:
"The United States it indulg
ing in an Indian summer day
dream while a business storm is
brewing."
YOU'D think, naturally, that
statement was made by some
hard-boiled, reactionary repub
lican. It wasn't. The speaker is
Dr. Edwin C. Nourse, former
chairman of the U. S. council of
economic advisers to the presi
dent. He was participating in a
panel discussion arranged by the
American Society of Tool Engi
neers in Philadelphia.
He added:
"If we are to avoid a depres
sion EACH SEGMENT OF OUR
ECONOMY MUST PUT THE
COUNTRY'S WELFARE ABOVE
SHORT-RUN GAINS FOR
THEIR PARTICULAR CON
STITUENTS." IF THE best use is to be made
of our resources, so that sound
prosperity may continue, Dr.
Nourse went on, "business, fi
nancial, agricultural and labor
leaders must help develop and
carry out an INTEGRATED pol
icy of private and public aco
nomic activity."
But, he added, that isn't being
done. Instead, he told his hear
ers: "THEY ARE BEING EN
COURAGED TO FEEL THEY
CAN USE ORGANIZATION
AND POLITICAL POWER TO
GET SEPARATELY MORE OUT
' OF THE SYSTEM THAN THEY
ARE SEVERALLY PUTTING
INTO IT."
WHAT we need, Dr. Nourse is
telling us, is TEAMWORK.
That suggests a question:
Did you ever do your spring
plowing with a three (or maybe
five) horse team? If so, you'll re
member that at the beginning
your horses were all prima don
nas. Each thought it was the
whole works and the others were
merely hitched in to provide an
audience. If there were three
horses in the team, they went
three different ways at the cor
ners. If there were five horses,
they went FIVE ways. All the
way around, they worked against
each other instead of with each
other.
As a result you didn't get
much ground plowed the first
few days. If you turned under
an acre and a half a day, you
were doing pretty well.
But, as the days passed, things
began to go better. Your horses
slowly began to work AS A
TEAM, when you came to a cor
ner, they would swing just far
enougn out into tne plowed
ground to give you turning room
without spoiling your furrow.
(Usually, by the way, one
horse would act as a kind of sub
foreman. This would be some
animal that was SMARTER than
the rest. It would figure out what
you were driving at and would
chivvy the others around so that
the corners would be turned
i with the least loss of time. That
: is what in industry we call or
I eanization.)
As soon as your horses began
to work as a team, your effi
ciency would RISE and in a lit
tle while you would be turning
over your three or maybe three
and a half acres a day, which
was pretty good going in those
oenignted days Before trie in
ternal combustion engine was in
vented, thus making the tractor
possible.
A NYWAY. Dr. Nourse is telling
us that if we want to accom
plish a lot in this country PRO
DUCE a lot, that is, so that every
body can have a lot we must
work as a team instead of work
ing as separate pressure groups.
each seeking to get for itself the
bulk of the cream, leaving only
the skim milk for the other
groups.
LORD MACAULEY, the great
English historian, told us the
same thing a century and a half
ago. using somewhat different
words and putting it in a some
what dilterent way.
In one of his fascinatingly in
teresting letters to an American
friend he said (ineffect. that is
these are not his exact words):
Your American system is the
most wonderful thing that ever
came into the world. As it is
working now, it is producing for
Americans more satisfactions and
more comforts than any govern
mental system ever produced
since the world began.
It will continue to do that un
til your people learn that by
ganging up in pressure groups
they can use their voting power
TO' GET FOR THEMSELVES
Klamath Agriculture Income in Decline
SPECIAL PAYMENTS AND
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
OUT OF THE NATIONAL
TREASURY.
When that happens (Lord
Macauley said) your American
system will cease to produce for
everybody as it is going now (he
was speaking a century and a
half ago).
His words were at least prophetic.
