111 THE WAD
President Wilson Appeals to Bus
iness Interests of Country.
JUST PRICES IS HIS DEMAND
Business Should Not Take Toll Off
Men In Trenches, Says the Chief
Executive Ship Owners
Are Condemned.
Washington. President Wilson ap
pealed to the country's business in
terests Wednesday to put aside every
selfish consideration nnd to give their
aid to tho nation as freely as those
who go to offer their lives on the bat
tlefield. In u statement addressed to the coal
operators nnd manufacturers he gave
nssuranco that Just prices will be paid
by tho government and tho public dur
ing the war, but warned that no at
tempt to extort unusual profits will be
tolcrntcd.
"Your patriotism," sold tho presi
dent's nppcnl, "Is of the same self
denying stuff ns the patriotism of the
men dead nnd maimed on the fields of
France, or It Is no patriotism nt nil.
Let us never speak, then, of profits
and patriotism In tho snmo sentence.
"I shall expect every mnn who Is not
a slacker to be nt my sldo throughout
this great enterprise. In It no mnn
can win honor who thinks of himself."
Condemns Ship Owners.
Tho president .declared there must
be but one price for tho government
nnd for tho public. He expressed con
fidence thnt business generally would
be fourid loyal to the last degree, nnd
that the problem of wartime prices,
which ho declared will "mean victory
or defeat," will be solved rightly
through patriotic co-operation.
In unmensured terms, however, Mr.
Wilson condemned tho ship owners of
the country for maintaining a schedule
of ocean freight rates which hns
placed "almost Insuperable obstnclcs
in tho path of the government.
President's Call.
Tho president's statement follows:
"The government Is about to attempt
to determine the prices nt which It
will ask you henceforth to furnish yn
rlous supplies which are necessnry for
the prosecution of the wnr, and vnrl
ous materials which will bo needed In
tho industries by which tho war must
be sustnlncd. We shnll. of course, try
tc determine. them Justly nnd to the
best ndvnntago of the nntlon ns n
whole; but Justice Is easier to speak
of than to arrive nt, and there are
some 'considerations which I hope we
shnll keep steadily In mind whllo this
particular problem of Justice Is being
worked out.
Promises Just Price.
"Therefore I take the liberty of
stating very candidly my own view of
the situation nnd of the principles
which should guide both tho govern
ment and tho mine owners and man
ufacturers of the country in this dif
ficult mnttcr.
"A Just price must, of course, be
paid for everything tho government
buys. By a Just price I mean a price
which will sustain the Industries con
cerned in n high state of efficiency,
provide a living for thoso who con
duct them, enable them to pay good
wages, and make posslblo the ex
pansions of their enterprises which
wtll from lime to tlmo becomo neces
sary as the stupendous undertakings
f this great war develop.
Must Face the Facts.
"Wo could not wisely or reasonably
do less thnn pay such prices. They
are necessary for tho maintenance
and development of Industry, nnd the
maintenance and development of in
dustry aro necessary for the great task
we have in hand.
"But I trust thnt wo shall not sur
round tho matter with a mist of sen
timent. Facts aro our masters now.
We ought not to put tho acceptance
of such prices on tho ground of patri
otism." "Patriotism has nothing to do with
profits In a case like this. Patriotism
and profits ought never In the present
circumstances be mentioned together.
"It Is perfectly proper to discuss
profits as a matter of business, with a
lew to maintaining tho integrity of
capital and tho efficiency of labor in
these tragical months, when tho lib
erty of free men everywhere and of
Industry itself trembles in tho bal
ance; but it would be absurd to dis
cuss them as a motivo for helping to
servo and save our country.
"Patriotism leaves profits out of tho
question. In tlieso days of our su
premo trial, when wo are sending hun
dreds of thousands of our young men
across the sens to servo a great cause,
no truo man who stays behind to
work for them and Bustaln them by
his labor will ask himself what ho is
personally going to mako out of that
labor.
"No truo patriot will permit himself
to tako toll of their heroism In money
or Bcek to grow rich by tho shedding
of their blood. Ho will glvo as freely
and with ns unstinted self-sacrifice
ns thoy. When they aro giving their
lives, will he not at least glvo his
woney?
Assails "Bribery."
"I hear It Insisted that moro than
r Just price, moro than n prlco thnt
will sustain our industries, must bo
paid; that It is necessary to pay very
liberal and unusual profits in order to
'stimulate' production; that nothing
hut pecuniar? rewards will do re
FORGE
HNS
wards paid in money, not In tho mere
liberation of tho world.
"I tako It for granted that thoso
who arguo thus do not stop to think
whnt that means.
"Do they mean that you must bo
paid, must bo bribed, to mako your
contribution, n contribution thnt costs
you neither a drop of blood nor n tear,
when the whole world Is in travail and
men everywhere depend upon nnd call
to you to bring them out of bondage
and mnkc the world n fit place to live
In again, amidst pence and Justice?
Appeals to Honor.
"Do they mean thnt you will exact
n price, drive n bargain, with tho men
who nro enduring the ngony of this
wnr on tho bnttlcfields, In the trenches,
nmldst tho lurking dangers of tho sen,
or with tho bereaved women nnd piti
ful children, before you will come for
ward to do your duty and give some
part of your life, In easy, penceful
fashion, for tho things we are fight
ing for, the things wo have pledged
our fortunes, our lives, our sacred hon
or to vindicate and defend liberty
and Justice nnd fair dealing nnd the
pence of nntlons?
"Of course you will not. It Is In
conceivable. Your patriotism is of the
same self-denying stuff ns tho pa
triotism of the men (lend or mnlmod
on the fields of France, or else It Is
not patriotism at nil.
Full Dollar's Worth.
"Let us never spenk, then, of profits
nnd of pntrlotlsm In the snmo sen
tence, but fnce facts and meet them.
Let us do sound business, but not In
tho midst of n mist.
"Many n grievous burden of taxa
tion will be Inld on this nntlon, In this
generation nnd In the next, to pay for
this war; let us see to It that for
every dollar that Is taken from the
people's pockets It shnll be posslblo to
obtain n dollar's worth of the sound
stuff they need.
"Let mo turn for n moment to tho
ship owners of tho United States nnd
tho other ocean carriers whoso ex
ample they havo followed, nnd ask
them If they realize what obstacles,
what almost insuperable obstnclcs,
they have been putting In tho way of
tho successful prosecution of this war
by tho ocean freight rates they have
been exacting.
Making War a Failure.
"They are doing everything thnv
high freight charges can do to mnkc
the war a fallire, to make it Impos
sible. $
"I do not say that they realize this
or Intend It. Tho thing hns happened
naturally enough because tho commer
cial processes which wo arc content to
see operate In ordinary times have
without sufficient thought been con
tinued Into n period where they have
no proper plnce.
"I nm not questioning motives. 1
nm merely stntlng a fact, nnd stating
It In order that attention may bo fixed
upon It.
"The fact Is that those who have
fixed war freight rates havo taken the
most effective means In their power to
defeat tho nrmlcs engaged against Ger
many. When they realize this we mny,
I take It for granted, count upon them
to reconsider tho whole matter. It Is
high time. Their extra hazards, are
covered by war risk Insurance.
Warning Is Sounded.
"I know, nnd you know, whnt re
sponse to tills great challenge of duty
nnd of opportunity the nntlon will ex-pect-of
you; nnd I know whnt re
sponso you will mnke.
"Those who do not respond, who
do not respond in the spirit of those
who have gone to give their lives for
us on bloody fields far nwny, may
safely bo left to bo dealt with by
opinion nnd the law for tho law must,
of course, command those things.
"I am dealing with the matter thus
publicly nnd frankly, not because I have
any doubt or fear as to the result but
only in order thnt in nil our thinking
nnd in nil our dealings with ono an
other wo may movo in a perfectly clear
air of mutual understanding.
Must Have Same Prices.
"And there Is something more thai
we must add to our thinking. The
public is now as much a part of the
government ns are the army and navy
themselves; tho whole people in all
their activities are now mobilized and
In service for tho accomplishment of
tho nntlon's task in this wnr; it Is
in such "circumstances impossible Just
ly to distinguish between industrial
purchases mndo by the government
nnd industrial purchases mado by tho
managers of Industries, nnd It Is Just
ns much our duty to sustain the Indus
trials of tho country with all tho In
dustries that contrlbuto to Its llfo as
it is to sustain our forces In tho field
nnd on tho Ben.
Think Not of 8elf.
"We must make prices to tho pub
lic the same as tho prices to tho gov
ernment. Prices mean tho Barao thing
everywhere now. They mean tho effl
si rs-s" .
tlon, whether it is tho government thnt
pays them or not. They mean victory
or defeat. They mean that America
will win her placo once for nil among
tho foremost freo nations of tho world
or thnt she will sink to defeat nnd be
come n second-rnto power alike In
thought and In nctlon. This Is n day
of her reckoning and every mnn among
us must personally face that reckoning
along with her.
"Tho case needs no nrgulng. I ns
sumo that I nm only expressing your
own thoughts whnt must bo In tho
mind of every truo man when ho faces
tho tragedy and tho solemn gl6ry of
tho present wnr, for tho emancipation
of mankind.
"I summon you to n grcnt duty, a
great privilege, a shining dignity nnd
distinction. I shall expect every man
who is not a Blacker to bo at my side
Uiroughout this great enterprise. In
it no man can win honor who thinks ol
himself."
