Ninety-Nine Others Rescued Off Archipelago in Northeast Japan. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 3.—A navy dispatch “IF BUSINESS WON'T, BL MONDAY, MAY 3, 1926. from a destroyer near the Kurile Is- Jupan, received today declared that 150 fishermen and members of the crew of the Chichibu Maru, a small crab fishing steamer, which was wrecked on tha rocks off Paramushiro early last week, stlll were missing.

OVERNMENT WILLY" USINESS is 95 per cent honest,” said a high govern- ment official to the editor of NATION’S BUSINESS the other day. “The hue and cry against business which leads to more laws and more regulations is due not so much to illegal practices as to doubtful practices. “Business must keep ahead of public criticism. It can no longer hide behind the old familiar ‘there are tricks in all trades. And remember this: if business doesn’t regulate itself, government will.” VERY business has its shadow- land of doubtful practices. In every industry things are done, not illegal, but possibly unethical. These practices lie in a great twilight zone of trade customs which have come down through generations until no man knows just what is right and what is wrong. “Wait a minute!” you exclaim. “Do you mean that a business man can’t tell right from wrong?” Not always. A man is seeking your trade. He gives your buyer a cigar. What of it? He gives him a box of cigars. A little doubtful. He gives him $25 and says, “Buy yourself some cigars.” Right away you say, “Bad business.” But where is the line between friendly courtesy and downright bribery? That’s a simple example. Mul- tiply it by 10,000 and you will get some picture of this great twilight zone. Literal description of goods, exaggerated advertising, casual cancellation of orders — these are but a few of the questions with which business must deal. And business must regulate itself, must make its own laws, for “if business doesn’t, government will.” How easy to cry out for a govern- ment commission, with licenses and inspectors and clerks and branches and buildings. USINESS 7s moving on to higher standards. Dozens of industries are working together for fair play among themselves and with their Circulation a year ago 187,588 customers. More and more, busi- ness men are realizing that a com- petitor may be a helpful friend, not a dangerous enemy; more and more, they are leaving behind the old rule of “Let the buyer beware.” ~ Cotton is sold as cotton, and silk assilk. The lowly rabbit no longer masquerades as “seal.” But there is much yet to be done. Next week three thousand lead- ers of American business, repre- senting 750,000 business men, will meet in Washington to discuss self- regulation of business. Keen-thinking men in business and ingovernment will open the dis- cussion, and in nine groups, such as insurance, marketing, etc., will then seck to make application specific. ATION’S BUSINESS will de- vote an Extra number to this outstanding annual meeting of American Business. It will be sent as an extra dividend to the 220,000 present subscribers and to those who subscribe to NATION'S BUSINEsS before June first. It will not be a dry story of “proceed- ings,” but a vivid, high-lighted picture of what American business is thinking and doing, “written as one business man talks to another.” The business man who would keep step with this forward move- ment in the most stirring period of our industrial history needs this number. He should also follow developments each month with NATION's BUSINESs. Write Wash- ington today for our approval offer. 221,429 MERLE THORPE, Editor ISHED MQ\'THLY AT WASHINGTON BY THE CHAMBER @F COMMERCE OF T5XE UNITED STATES Lactobacillus Acidophilus Ml for intestinal disorders Ask ynnr physielan n:mn it NATIONAL VACCINE AND ANTITOXIN INSTITUTE
