One Year................... $6.00 Six Months.................. $4.00 Our Social Responsibility by Philip N. Blodine, President Associated Oregon Indmtriei James M. Roche, chairman of General Motors Corporation, has been speaking out effectively for some months in defense of the free enterprise system. And after nearly two years as your president, 1 am taking the liberty of passing on a few thoughts from one of his most recent talks. He referred to the "irresponsible harassment" by critics who de mand “that American business be more socially responsible, but give too little consideration to the costs of meeting social aspirations. . . . Business did not bring about the deterioration of pur cities, but it is expected to rebuild them Business did not create poverty and hun ger in our land, but business is expected to eliminate them.” Inasmuch as these attacks on business are mounting, it is time the American people took a realistic look at the logical social respon sibilities of corporations. Basically these are: (1) protecting and mak ng profitable use of the savings invested by more than 30,000,000 stockholders; (2) meet ing payrolls and benefits at levels that maintain the world's highest standard of living; (3) producing desirable goods and services for which hard-boiled, bargain-hunting customers will pay all the costs of production (of which profit is one) plus the more than $50 billion in taxes. These are the things that business must do to stay in business, which is, by itself, a tremendous and sometimes very difficult social responsibility. It is made even more difficult by “irresponsible harass ment" that downgrades and undermines public faith in free com petitive enterprise. Business also is meeting other social responsibilities in the form of contributions to health, education and welfare in plant communi ties. This is not philanthropy because it is vital to business that the community be a good place for employes to live and work. It is part of the cost of good business. Mr. Roche touched the nerve when he said, "Management must be responsive to the wishes of the stockholder." Regardless of other contributions to American welfare, that of the investor comes first. Because without private investment there would be no business as we know it. We would, of course, have to have tools of production. But they wqi 44, be bought 'YW'h tax mowy and managed by govern ment. There are only two systems of industrial production: private voluntary competitive capitalism, and state-controlled involuntary monopoly capitalism. No human organization being without fault, it is easy enough at any time to find and dramatize something that any given business is doing “wrong" or not doing at all. The social responsibility con cept opens the door for almost any type of criticism and the list of things that "should be done" becomes endless. But the fact remains that the prime social responsibility of busi ness is to stay healthy and progressive. As Samuel Gompers, founder of America’s labor movement said, “The greatest crime that business can commit against labor is to fail to make a profit." The same applies to industry's responsibility to the entire society. Whe’LL KEaP U KOvErED SEE US FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS EASTMAN INSURANCE Nyssa . . .
