The Way of Life
By BRUCE BARTON
THE THREE D’S
There have been many serious
conferences in this year of tough
business, and recently I’attended one
of them. The problem was whether
a certain industry, which was en
countering difficulties, could be kept
going. Three men spoke; their re
marks were as follows:
First Man: Conditions are much
worse than anybody is willing to
admit. Car loadings are off; steel
production is flat; the automobile
industry is on its back; every business
barometer points down. You can
argue that the country has faced the
same situation before and has come
through. But this is different. Now
America is a world power, dependent
on world markets. Whenever you
look in the world you see nothing
but trouble. I think that any enter
prise which is losing money ought
to be stopped. We are not justified
in taking chances.
Second Man: I wouldn’t go as far
as the first speaker. Things are un
deniably bad and may get worse, but
I do think we are justified in as
suming that the world is going bust
ed. What we need is plenty of time
to get all the facts and talk them
over and be sure we are right. I
suggest we appoint a committee, and
then we can meet again in a couple
of weeks and have another confer
ence.
Third Man: I disagree with every
thing that has been said. This de
pression isn’t different from a hun
dred others that have preceded it.
Always it is argued that “conditions
this time are different”. I do not
see that we shall gain anything by
appointing committees or delaying
action. What we need is not more
facts but more guts. lam in favor
of going to work right now to pull
this business through.
Men divide themselves into dif
ferent classifications which are call-

ed by various names. There are the
optimists who are consistently hope
ful and the pessimists who always
fear the worst.
There are what the psychologists
term the “introverts,” those whose
eyes are turned inward, the brooders,
the hypocondriacs, the mystics; and
the “extraverts”, whose vision is
outward and forward.
In good days it is not easy to
distinguish, but these past few
months have been a testing time.
They have divided all men into three
great groups:
The Defeatists—who say conditions
are different; it can’t be done.
The Debaters—who say, let us ap
point a commission and adjourn un
til another time.
The Doers—who say, let us pick
out the toughest problems and hit
it first.
Each of us fall into one or the
other of these groups. In which one
are you?
When Did the Feudal System End
in Europe?
The feudal system, which grew up
in Europe after the decline and fall
of the Roman empire, did not pass
away in all countries during the
same century and therefore no exact
date marks the close of the so-called
feudal period. In nearly all the
European states the end of the
feudal age was reached about the
close of the 13th century.—The
Pathfinder.
