Adopting a common sensc attitude on this all-im- portant matter, America can continue to progress and we can énjoy pros- perity as the greatest industrial na- tion in the world. Continued nagging, squabbling, and endeavoring to take advantage of the other fellow, can only lead to more strife, greater loss, disappointment and disaster for every cne concerned.” Yes, it looks as though one of the greatest ‘capitalists’ of them all has written the workers’ bill of rights. The Bahson Institute experts whose business it is to cut away the trap- pings and get down to fundamentals have endorsed it, not only as a rea- sonable but as a practical program. Economic history teaches that almost any industrial ill can be remedied by following in substance Mr. Rockefel- ler's basic principle. ‘“Every worker is a human being first, and industrial worker second.” To this need only be added the axiom that the worker is a rational being and if he faced the same set of facts that the employer faces he would come to the same con- have situ 30,0 dist, wes| ond clusion.
