Stems, to a large degree, from the
constantly improving work in eco-
nomics education and human rela-
tions which American business has
been achieving in recent years.
The spirit of this enlightened work
is well expressed in the April 13
issue of “The Commentator”, the
bulletin that General Electric
Corporation sends regularly to
196,800 employees.
“Three and a half years ago in
the first of these pages,” the mes-
sage from GE management noted,
“we listed . . . things we were
trying to do to make jobs better.
We said we wanted you to get
good pay—pay that was right for
the job you get done. And, we
meant not just what is in the pay
envelope, but paid vacations and
holidays, pensions and life insur-
ance, suggestion avfards, and oth-
er available benefits from your
working here.
Th« Right Attitude
“We said we wanted you to
have good working conditions. We
said we wanted you to have good
bosses—good in the sense they
would help make a good job bet-
ter, lead rather than push you
around, do their best to save you
time, money and worry. We said
we wanted you to have a chance
to get ahead—on the basis of your
ability, your ambition, and how
well you do your job. We Baid we
would try to give you steady work
through doing all we know how
towards insuring a steady flow
of orders, through pushing the
expansion of our plants and equip-
ment, through better serving and
pleasing our customers.
“We said we would try to get
the facts to you—so that every-
one who works at General Electric
would know what was going on,
what our plans were, where we
had had successes and setbacks,
and what were the problems ahead.
We said we would see to it that
you were respected as an individ-
ual and that your dignity never
would be offended. We said we
would try to make it possible for
you to enjoy your job not only
through getting proper pay . . .
but also through doing our best
to find all possible extra ways in
which we could work together to
make our jobs both interesting
and satisfying.
Our Strength
“To what degree we have suc-
ceeded you can better judge than
we. But whatever have been the
results, the progress made to date
isn’t anywhere near enough to
satisfy us. We will continue try-
ing in every way possible to make
jobs better. As always, vour con-
structive criticism and other help-
ful recommendations will be warm-
ly welcomed.”
In this kind of attitude on the
part of management lies the
strength of American business—
yes, the strength of America it-
self. It is irresistable to any fair-
minded American working man or
woman, and since they are find-
ing a similar attitude in all fields
of American business, the agita-
tion of the Socialists, the Commu-
nists, and other kinds of purely
anti-business or anti-management
propaganda, is not leading them
astray. But all of us who know
the true facts about the human-
ness of the ownership and man-
agement of our American busi-
ness system should be determined
to get the facta to that two per
cent of our population which isn’t
well informed and has been led
astray. It would make our nation
stronger and safer, assure an ever-
improving prosperity for us all.

BIG BUSINESS WINS FRIENDS
“Good will” might be defined
as a feeling of friendliness and ap-
preciation. A recent nationwide
poll by the Psychological Corpora-
tion found that most people have
developed such a feeling for the
big businesses in America. This
isn’t surprising, for in the Ameri-
can competitive system a company
which depends on the consumers
to buy its products or services
couldn’t get big or stay big with-
out their good-willed patronage.
Only in a Socialist state, where
competition is abolished, can a big
industry survive without achiev-
ing public "good will.”
The psychological Corporation
made 7,600 personal interviews in
124 cities and towns from coast
to coast. Eighteen of the largest
industrial corporations were men-
tioned and the people were asked
for their attitude towards them.
An overwhelming majority —73
per cent—said the big companies
should be encouraged or at least
should be let alone by government.
The results were considered to be
a correct sampling of nationwide
opinion. On the basis of the sur-
vey only two per cent of the popu-
lation may be considered un-
friendly toward the big companies.
Understanding Employers
The over-all attitude of the
rank and file Industrial employ-
ees—including union labor mem-
bers—was as warm toward the big
corporations, the survey found, as
that of any other group. This un-
derstanding and friendly attitude
of industrial employees no doubt
