'With busine mpeting on a common Ero ethical standards sales will 1de on the basis of service and that adox of tha imagination, coopera- competition, will be a reality. “It cannot be gainsaid that many 1siness and professional associations have codes of standards of practice, it is also true that a careful an is of a large number of the e odes has shown, (first), many s of constraction; (second), omis- slon of vital and e tial elements; 4), incorrect and uns tific hods of statement, T'he existence of the Golden Rule has never led to the discard of the Fen Commandments, nor should our respect for the thought it blind us to its inadequacy as a com- de to business conduct “Whtle it is apparent that the state- t of standards of practice is the al proviuce of national, provin- cial or state organizatious of the vari- ous businesses or professions, experi- once shows that these bodies are slow to act on such matters. This fact, in measure, explains Rotary's n-nmn in inaugurating and fostering the campaign for codes. It seeks to stimulate Rotarians to activity in their craft @ssociations, (assoclations corresponding with a man's Jine of en- deavor, be it a business or a profes. sion.) It secks to arouse interest in & matter which, though regarded as a Vital necessity by many, has had few sufficiently inspired to v on” to the actual work of writing a new code, or improving an old one, Belicves Rotary Can Raise Standards “As Rotary is a ¢ross-section of the business and professional world, Ro- tary is most favorably situated to ren- this great sbrvica of Inspiration. t assoclations are thus in- retive, Rot must provide the ‘Go- Getters' The craft (business or pro- fessional group) eode serves as a gauge for the public, to determine the eraft attitude towards eorrect business Tt likewise helps to raise the standing of the erart In the busi- ness world, and does much to gain the eonfidence, good will and favor- able consideration of the puiiic “During the last twenty-five vears, o of but ing der Where ¢ practice, there has been an inereasing wa publie sentiment demanding a more sensitive and a more exacting husiness conscience, The terrible World War interrupted the progress of this great movement to improve and fix business 80 | conveys | It is a fact, recorded b; that periods of prosperity are |always accompanied by lax business | methods, When there is little busi- ness and strong competition, business {feels the necessity of strict attention to details, high-class s ous regard for the highest ideals of business methods. “On_the other hand, when the sales | rianager's desk is overloaded with or- ders and people are clamoring for the products of his establichment, ?nlu!lon of these selfsame business vir- tues.

The unprecedented demand for raw and manufactured artic dur- ing the#years 1915-191§8 illustrates this historical fact, and during that period, many business men failed to observe business virtues which they zealously maintain in ordinary times. | You will recall the cancellation of | contracts in’ the recent rapidly rising and falling market. To restore and maintain faith in the business world is a great business problem, and its lution will be aided when ail busi- and grofessions have written codes by which integrity may be m.easured. “Clyde King, in commenting on the cancellation of contracts, in the An- nals of the American Academy of So- clal and Political Science, said, ‘The sudden stagnation of business in 1921 was due, more than men are wont to believe, to the breakdown of moral stan 1esses “The large business organizations of | the country are keenly alive to this situation of lax business methods, it is undoubtedly true that in the fu- ture, business men who maintain or disregard correct business standards as best suits current business condi- tions, will be ostracized by their fel- low-craftsmen and former patrons, Advertising Men Blazed Way fodern code-writing, and ests in code-writing, dates from the {ssuance of the Code of Advertising ubs of the world whose slogan was “Truth in Advertising.' TFollowing this code, many so-called codes were writ- |ten or in progress, and then, the war turned men's thoughts to other mat- ter: “Since the war, business men and business organizations have again turned to the consideration of stan- dards of practice in business, and many articles have been written and alks given, demanding higher busi- | ness standards, In such addresses and such articles, there was a con stantly recurring suggestion of the necessity for written codes of ethies, but as regards the form such codes xhould take, the essential elements to be Included and the method of . ex- preddeon, thre was little information, it any. Nowhere in the large national craft mssoclations did leadership de- velop to earry this idea into effective action. Tt remained for Totary to [take the leadership, and, after a care- an study of the problem, present 'through tts business methods eom mittee, a model outline for standards lot practice, accompanied by such in- formation, in addition, as would en- able the cralts who were interested, to write a code Individual Rotarian’s Part “The individual Rotarlan's part in [the campaigit for codes 1s as follows “1, Lvery Rotarian should join the craft (business or professional) association corresponding with his [line of endeavor, be it a business or rvice, and zeal- | there | |1s & tendency to laxness in the appre- | and | inter- | profession.

If it has, secure a copy, ex- amine it critically, and test its com- pleteness, construction, and method of | statement, Use the model code out- line and the list of proper character- istics prepared by Rotary as a gauge. Only after such a study, will the Ro- |tarian be prepared to act in his eraft. “3 Every Rotarian should com- municate to the officers of his craft assoclation the results of his examin- ation of its code, and suggest to them that it be amended in any parts in | which it is inadequate, “4 It his craft has no code, he | should urge that the craft proceed to | | have one written. | “5. Every Rotarian should secure | additional endorsement of his sugges- tion by others in the craft, until their weight of suggestion results in the ap- pointment of a committee on writing or revision of the craft code. If he is appointed on the committee, he should give it his earnest, enthusiastic | cooperation, | “8. Every Rotarian should work with the craft code committee, wheth- er as a member or a non-member, planning and suggesting ideas which may tend to improve the work of the committee and make the code a great instrument of usefulness to the craft. | | *“1.

The preamble defines the business or pro- | fession for which the code is written, and the membership qualifications. The code itself consists of eight head- ings. The first six should cover the distinet rules of conduct for each of the human relations which arise out of the business. The two concluding sections deal with the subjects of con- tracts and specifications, and the | “Dont's” of standards of practice, | There should then follow a concluding section, or rear-word, placing an obli- gation on all members of the craft to fearless, faithful performance of the duties preseribed and demanding that | raftsmen act In accordance with |h«y rules of conduct so set down.
