Not One, A Million
leaders Needed
In times of stress and crisis
leadership is everything.
The United States needs Uadei
ship—not the leadership of one
man. to which several Europear
countries have tunned, tired and
b.aten by struggle and complex
ity — but leadership in every
field—the leader of today must
see the relationship of his spec
ial field to the whole and act ac
cordingly.
Nobody ever accused James
Truslow Adams of .being a wild
radical. He is a conservative busi
ness man turned historian. Yet
he believes that the American
scheme of things as living men
have known it is now being giv
en its last chance.
In a recent, article in “Bar
ron's Adams appeals to business
men to show themselves again
capable of the leadership which
once mad them the heroes of
America. He sees a turn to the
business man from politician, es
pecially since the defense drive
has put so great a premium on
efficiency. These factors, he feels,
have "given the business lead
ers a new chance, and perhaps
their last, to prove their value to
the great society and to provide
for it that 1 adership and service
without which no class can per
manently survive.”
Business leadtrs must realize,
Adams warns, that today “a high
business position as has been said
of public office, is a public trust
and not merely a well-paid job."
Business man like Knuds n and
Sfettenius, who have given up
well-paying jobs to help their
country, are merely one example,
Adams says; every business man
must now devote part of his time
energy', and thought to the gen
eral welfare, for it is at last re
alized that even a w 11-paying
business is of no value if the
who'e country goes to smash.
What Adams has so trenchant
ly point out to business men is
true, of course, of all men occupy
ing positions of authority and in
fluence. It is true of labor l ad
ers, of lawyers, of financiers, of
artists, of a 1 who wield power
in any form.
All are on trial today. All will
be judged in the future by the
depree to which they have serv
ed society in general.
