BENDER - - MPANY £6.00 r if they will s Office, 374 MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED rep ws dispat AT ION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ANY OTHER PUBLICATION HAN THA THE POLITICAL l' S. CHAMBER announcement of the A. Boston merchant and economist from the United States Chamber of Commerce, is not so | surprising when one stops to think that but recently Mr. Filene, as a member of the national chamber. had the temerity to state that he saw merit in the New Deal policies and that his studies in a nation- wide trip revealed business actually much improved tive government efforts under of the U. 8. in the as the result of co-of Mr. Roosevelt. That from a member Chamber was little short of high treason minds of that allegedly commercial body Among the things that Mr. Filene said on his return from a business survey about the nation was I found many bankers and many conserva- tive business leac bitterly opposing the New Deal and everything it stands for, while workingmen and farmers were generally for Roosevelt. But these bankers and business sted a program to take leaders not once s the place of the inte; apparent New Deal. They were not in effecting such an increase in the earning power of our people as would enable the masses to buy the pro- ducts of our industries and farms and thus keep the machines running and keep them- selves employed. What such men said was that business must be allowed to go its own way and that the salvation of the country de- pended upon the defeat of President Roose- velt. Yesterd in announcing his withdrawal from the Chamber, Mr. Filene pointed along the same | line when he said: As plainly as I can state my position, T have at least been forced to the conclusion that the United States”Chambersof Commerce, as at present organized, is not an organization of business but rather an organization of business men—meeting not to study business in a busi- ness way, not even to find out what the needs AomwrnL woroRs vaLL: PO cconomiciL TRANSPORTATIO | Steel one-piece withdrawal of Edward Mere and more people are buying the NEW 1936 CHEVROLET Hesiiie o8 the ondly complits b priced o Wise buyers also want complete overhead protection . . . a Solid THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE WED"JFSDAY JUNE 10 promote the special views of certain promi- nent people in the business world, or at best to discover and express the fixed opinion of the membership concerning matters which, in the most successful modern business organizations, would be referred as a matter of course to fact-finding research. The nationally known business leader pointed out l of business in gen(-ral may be, but either to - | the futility of such a course as the national chamber declaring it his belief “there can never | has adopted, ho lasting, nation-wide prosperity until American ‘buunoss in general is organized to pay such high wa- | ges that the masses of wage earners will be able to buy enough of our industrial products to give our industries an adequate market and thus keep them |in profitable operation.” But it was in his concluding paragraph that Mr. Filene sounded the grave danger to all commercial organizations when he said: Businesses which are likely to profit most from such an organization as the United States Chamber of Commerce is today are those which have some special reason for achieving a dominant voice in the Chamber's affairs, although lacking an adequate inter- est in or an adequate understanding of the needs of business in general. The major disease within the national chamber, and it is a threat to every commercial group which does not follow its principles of high purpose, is that it has forgotten all about business under its politi- cally swayed leadership. In its tirade against the New Deal, it is neglecting the very features on which it was based and becoming a political organization rather than attending to its avowed purpose of being a commercial body. It has adoped a special interest policy rather than a policy in the interests of busi- | | | | ness There is small wonder that commercial organi- zations get in bad taste with the rank and file of the American people when they adopt such tactics. The U. S. Chamber may awake to the fact one of these days, as its membership gradually dissolves, that it cannot claim to be one thing and actually be an- other, Back in 1918 they used to say it was the smoke from the big guns on the western front that caused the rain.’- The big guns at Clevelarid are spouting considerable smoke, so maybe we can look for a shower.
