WE MUST NOT FAIL NOW.
This nation has launched its campaign for the Fifth and
last loan known as the Victory Loan.
Heretofore they wore known as Liberty Loans, but
since the last one. the American Boys—Soldiers, Marines and
Sailors combined under great leadership—have won their
victory, and it was achieved because America does things on
a big scale.
The morale of the American troops were at its highest
point because there was united citizenship at home, pledging
their all if need be, for success. The enemy realized the
spirit that prevailed in America, the gigantic tasks that seem
ed but mere triflings once America was aroused, and this had
much to do with ultimate victory.
The America of Washington and of Lincoln was the
same America except that it was unified as no other nation
ever was. There was a blending of the flower of all nations
into an American citizenship unequalled in the history of the
world. And we won that war. It took money and great re
sources but it saved lives. We incurred great debts, hut all
the debts that American incurred can he wiped out. while a
slowing up of the war program on the part of this nation
would have spurred the enemy on to greater activity and the
loss of additional lives.
So in this Victory Loan campaign, we should feel a pride
in subscribing, for it is our part of the great obligation to
America and to the world. Those who could not go, should
feel it a privilege to subscribe now, thus performing in a
limited way, a service to Uncle Sam.
It is no time to quibble over how the money was spent.
Suffice it to say that the great victory overshadows everything
else. Mistakes? Yes, no doubt there were lots of them, but
Ihey fade into insignificance as compared with our achieve
ments. America was never trained for war; we did it “over
night." We defeated powers that had prepared for 40 years
for this great world war, and we did it without any hope of
reward other than that which comes from a feeling down
deep in the heart of every true American, that we did our
duty.
Shall we now he less loyal with our money than Amer
ican Soldiers, Sailors and Marines'were with their lives? lhat
is the all important question.
• PLEASURE IN WORK.
We do best, the thingK we like to do. We all like to
work. We may deny the charge with mock-modesty for
ourselves and for others with emphatic belief, hut psycholog
ists and physicians are unanimous in testifying that every
healthy human animal craves action as it craves food.
Action is pleasurable only when it is desirable. To say
that we wish to work only if the work is what we wish to do,
sounds much like Lincoln’s famous crytic epigram: “For
those who like that sort of thing I should think this would be
about what they would like.” But there is truly a deeper
meaning.
The instinct of creative craftmanship is as deep and gen
uine as the instinct of hunger. Men will make gardens, build
strange and intricate designs in whatever material is avail
able. construct and operate model machines and cheerfully
exert muscles anil mind to their utmost power rather than
endure idleness. Every prison contains proof of this fact.
The standardized machine process seems to bar the ex
pression of this instinct in modern industry. The effort to
secure such expression in spite of that bar accounts for no
small portion of the friction in that industry.
The machine, in taking away one element of creative
craftmanship introduced another, higher, more intricate and
ultimately more pregnant with pleasure. This is the element
of organized team work. The players on diamond or gridiron
make greater mental and physical exertions than any gang of
machine workers. Men will exert themselves at repugnant
toil all the week for a chance to share in such pleasurable
exertion during an afternoon.
Modern Wig business is the most interesting of games.
The problems of world resources, markets, finance and man
agement offer incomprehensible field for splendid team play.
Craftmanship and play is found in management today, and
this no matter what physical and nervous energy is needed.
Labor demands a share in the team play. It is going to
help plan the work of the world. This is one important hut
often unnoticed side of the labor problem.
Two things enter into craftmanship: planning the prod
uct and team work. When muscles mold in material the idea
the mind conceives there is pleasure in the doing. When we
move in emulative harmony with others there i» joyous team
play.
Putting these elements into industry will multiply pleas
ure and product and change the labor to the play problem,
{sharing planning and profits among producers takes most of
the pain and waste and struggle out of industry.
This is one of the things toward which the world i« now
almost blindly struggling.
