Lesson From Spain | It has long been obvious to the average observer that, unless | Germany and Italy turn the scales in favor of the rebels, the | Spanish government eventually will put down the current insur- | rection. The reason is that the government now has had time | to.train an effective army; it still controls the major production centers within Spain and the morale of the people remains high. t en the struggle began the average American was su- premely indifferent to the outcome of the conflict. If het thought of it at all he was glad that the war was on the other side of the ocean. In certain quarters and for special reasons there was even a tendency to sympathize actively with the rebel cause. i But recent events around Bilbao have pretty definitely turned American setiment in favor of the loyalists. The per- sistent bombing of civilian populations, the refusal tq co-operate in the evacuation of women, children and the aged from the trouble zone and the merciless slaughter of noncombatants have created such resentment in America that the average citizen would like to see the Fascists beaten. Meanwhile, the world has been given a demonstration of what the next war will be like and the pacifists have received Editor, Tribune: It seems a recall of the Governor is actually in motion.

M. Chester, chairman of the General corporation. As is his habit, Mr. Chester faced facts, and faced them courageously. Not content to survey the past, he looked squarely toward the future and weighed the opportunities for enlarged co-opera- tive service. The result was a mes- sage to business marked by a fine sense of reality, and by the vision and idealism which must, in the end, foundation all sound business prog- ress, In the record of the past 25 years, Mr. Chester found no cause for smug |satisfaction. He conceded that some managements are still “so callous to the concepts of fair dealing as to arouse the indignation of all right thinking people.” Yet he was certain that great progress had been made and that the record of business and industry as a whole, in the field of wages, hours and employe relation- iy justified no small measure of le. Over « quarter of a century, wages had gone up, the hours of labor had been shortened, and working condi- g00d | tions had been considerably bettered. figuratively administered. Why the hue and cry to “tell the police’? To what end; that he may be told not foverned by mind but Deyucaly aad go" ut and should be so instructed. Why not the ipping post for perverts and their ilk? Give him a sound thrashing and let him return to his job, and for a second offense life imprisonment. No doubt the magistrate suspended sentence on the oft-repeated plea that the man’s family is in need of his support. How about the victims? Haven't they also a right to be left able to work? E | With Other Prices to the consumer had come down, and the quality of merchandise improved. Such progress in human betterment, Mr. Chester thought, en- titled business men generally to “a decent place in human esteem.” For jenlightened business leadership had helped to make that progress pos- sible. It represented a steady growth in social consciousness on the part of business management. If the progress toward certain admirable objectives had sometimes seemed too slow, Mr. Chester nevertheless felt that it may have been as fast as business men, “self-disciplined by responsibility” and conscious of their obligations to many People, could make it. And what of the future? In Mr. Chester’s opinion, business and in- dustry must participate in the rap- idly moving events of the day “not defensively, not apologetically, but actively and courageously.” If past progress is to be accelerated, there must be an increase in the public’s good will. There must be “even more thinking in the future to ways and means of providing the workers with better living.” Today's challenge to the business man is “to put human relations and national welfare ahead of every other consideration.”. Thus Mr. Chester’s warning: “We must keep pace. To command the sun to stand still is futile. To deny the real- ities of the hours is not to escape; it is abdication from responsibility.” DITORS Reprinted what they may or may not agree with them. eee ernror nce) To say that that is hard-headed advice, that it is practical and far- sighted idealism at its best, is merely to state the obvious. But public good will, as Mr. Chester suggests, re- quires education. There must be a broader understanding of the fact that business and industry have a vital stake in mass prosperity and that it would be suicidal not to work towards that objective. For them progress is imperative, “if only for the self-interested reason that widespread prosperity is the best assuruance of large scale production and consump- tion of goods.” Mr. Chester, in short, pleads for a sympathetic understanding of the problems of the business man. He bespeaks the public’s good will, not on the basis of empty assurances, but on the basis of progress already made. He invites the public to scrutinize that progress and to ask itself if much has not already been accom- plished through an intelligent and socially-minded business leadership. And finally he urges on business an even greater acceptance of responsi- bilities, a sharper adjustment to changing conditions, a firmer resolve te leave nothing undone which will Promote the general welfare. That is Mr. Chester’s message: a message of tolerance and co-opera- tion and understanding. It is, we think, eminently worth heeding. is voted by the citizens of the coun- try.—Admiral Richard E.
