Bungling Statesmen Show European Govern
ments’ Mistakes, and Now Trend Is Toward
More Practical Management.
By B. C. FORBES.
fif‘ll 1s a matter for America to
think over serious!y-—and act,
The threatened “war after the war"”
will be conduct« 1 by the ablest busi
ness brains in Europe.
The war—the searcher and tester
of character, individual and national
has placed. for the first time in his
tory, the man of business above the
man of politics and diplomacy. Peace
and plenty can tolerate mediocrity
and incompetency war and stress
call for ability and stability,
The most significant, the most fun
damental recent development has
been the summoning to power of
hard-headed business men by ow-r_\i
important nation of Europe
The diplomats and politieal N':IN‘H-J
men of every European power have
blundered lgnominicusly. The polit
jcal rulers of Germany and Austria-
Hungary woefully miscalculated the
temper of various peoples; had they
read conditions aright, they never
would have brought a world of ene
mies about their ears. The Allied
Governments mishandled one impor
tant situation after another—the
Dardanelles, Bulgaria, to say nothing
of vital internal problems.
Men of Business at Top.
The war, bungled by politicians, is
being placed more and more under
the direction of tried men of business
~manufacturers, shipowners, mer
cantile giants, railway managers,
ete,
European Governments of today
contain the best practical brains
within thelr borders. Other Govern
ments of tomorrow are little likely to
be less efficiently composed,
What lesson does this convey to the
United SBtates?
Does the trend in Burope carry no
warning for us?
: Can we afford to ignore the experi
ence 8o dearly bought by the strong
est Governments of Kurope?
Is it wise for us te pit against this
galaxy Included in the Governments
‘and administrations of Europe men of
the caliber of Josephus Daniels, Wil
liam C. Redfield and a few more like
them?
The post-bellum warfare will be
conducted on the field of business and
industry. The tariff promises to he a
momentous weapon in the coming in
ternational contest. The Congress of
the United States chooses to meet the
impending mortgl combat by a tariff
commission to be paid, not the highest
salaries awarded governmental bodies,
‘but salaries so low in comparison
with others as to belittle and ridicule
their functions.
. Men Who Are Called.
Who are some of the men dire ne
ity has summoned to fight Brit
@in's life-or-death struggle?
As food controller of Great Britain,
}Nmier Lloyd-George took good care
not to nominate a mere politician or
book-bred statesman. For this post,
scarcely second in importanece to the
fership fitself, the man chosen
life a 8 a messenger boy in a
tea concern, earned a fortune as a
merchant, and showed such conspicu
out abllity in handling affairs that he
was made manager of the port of
T.ondon. He so distinguished himself,
®oth in putting the greatest port in
the world on a proper business basis
;and in grappling with the memorable
dock strike of 1912, that, he recelved a
Peerage, his name changing from
Hudson E. Kearley to Lord Devon
port.
As cshipping controller—dictator—
‘the British Government has named
; Sir Josepp Paton Maclay, one of the
most distinguished, practical shipping
men in Scotland.
Baron Rhondda a Power.
In an office less important than that
‘of Secretary of Commerce in_ this
_eountry, president of the local Gov
~ernment board, there has bheen in
filled the “Welsh Coal King,” now
ron Rhondda, widely known in
‘America and Canada as D, A. Thom
#B. The contrast between Thomas
and Redfield is not flatiering t 8 the
_United States.

responded to their country's call. An

Russia, too, has found “statesmen’
wanting. Aristocratic, bureaucratic
chiefs, gentlemen of so-called noble
birth, were governing Russia when
the war broke out. (hicanery, graft,
incompetency and arrogance reigned
unchallenged. The ordinary peopl«
were Impotent. In time, however, con
ditions within the C('zar's realm be
came 80 unconscionably chaotic that
the Augean stables had to be cleaned.
So today even bureaucratic-ridden
' Rugsia has had to discard xmhtivaU
iuml diplomatic incompetency and
hand over the management of nation- 1
al activitles to men who have proved
their worth in industry, in commerce,
in finance and other nonpolitical
walks of life,
In Germany the military so domi
’nmo-s everything that the elevation
of business men to power has been
less conspicuous. Germany's officers
had been highly trained, pot merely
to fight, but to organize transporta
tlon, systematize the supplying of ma
terials and to discharge other busi
ness and administrative duties. Even
80, however, numbers of notable busi
ness leaders, of the Herr Ballin type,
have been requisitioned for official
posts of the first magnitude. |

the blunderers were the pnlllica.ns,}

Real Duty of Governments.
Mankind is learning that govern
ments must be conducted as business
organizations—with this difference, of
course: That, instead of working for
|
dividends and interest, their aim is
}nw happiness and welfare of the
people, Cabinet councils must com
‘ prise men of a caliber similar, or su
perior, to those forming the boards of
directors of the most powerful indus
trial or transportation corporations,
Heads of governmental departments
must correspond to the officers of
great clvil enterprises,
The world competition, the colos
sal problems, the intricate interna
tional negotiations which inevitably
will foliow the war could best be
handled —and doubtless will be large
ly handled--not by the type of poli
ticians who allowed the whole of Eu
rope to drift into war, but by men of
ripe financial and commercial expe
rience, men more versed in the pro
duction and marketing of products
than in political and diplomatic ger
rymandering. N
The principal industrial nations of
Europe will not intrust their post
bellum international affairs to nov
ices such as we have in Washington,
Against our business lightweights
KEuropean Cabinets will pit men of
the stamp now participating in the
administration of their affairs.
What are we going to do about it?
One more basic lesson thils country
might and must learn from the epio
straggle for survival among oversea
natlons, .
This lesson is the lesson of co
operation, of combination.
During the early stages of the war
there was hoth domestic and interna
tional haphazardness, There were
many masters and, consequently, lit
tle co-ordination of effort. As the
need for supreme efMclency hecame
more and more urgent the value of
co-operation became emphasized.
" One country after another put
whole industries under one head or
one centralized body. The co-opera
tive movement was carried a degree
further in that one nation's needs
were met by another of its allies.
Basis of Economic Pacts.
The so-called “economic confer
ences” called first by the Teutonic
Powers and then by the Entente
allies were nothing more or less than
a concrete exemplication of co-opera
tion and combination carried to the
seventh degree, a movement not quite
paralleled by the placing of the
Kaiser in supreme command of the
military forces of Germany, Austria-
Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, and
by the creation of the war councils
of a few members of the allles to
consult with one another and to co
operate with one another to insure
correlated action throughout the
whole theater of hostilities,
Competition has its place, but so
has co-operation.
1 asked one of the foremost busi
ness men America has ever produced,
the man who was the first to create a
huge self-contained, integrated, sym
metrical steel combination in this
country, an organization which in a
few years secured possession not only
ot its own manufacturing plants and
distributing facilities, but its own
supplies of ore, its own supplies of
coal and coke, its own ore-carrying
raflroads and its own ships-——l asked,
1 say, the creator of this unprece
dentedly efficient industrial unit how
he regarded the commercial outlook
;fur the United States. .
\ “The salvation of this country lles
in great, powerful organizations,” re
| plied Henry Clay Frick. “Without
sSuch combinations as the United
States Steel Corporation and others
in different industries we could not
hope to meet the tremendously strong
combinations fostered by the German
Government. Germany realizes the
strength of united, co-operative ac
tion. It is well for the United States
!thu we have a number of very big
industrial units.”
Will President Wilson be broad
gauge enough when he recasts his
Cabinet, as expected, next March, to
summon to his aid business men equal
1o any now actively participating in
the administration of European na
tions? Or wili the experiences of the
last two years, as here inadequately
outlined, be ignored by him in pre
p for the incalculably momen
tous economic experiences which will
:‘ ront the United States during the
next two vears?
