THE DOLLAR VALUE OF
PATRIOTISM
{Continuedfrom page 838)
up in the old ones and fear that the newer
ones would nullify this old investment.
This is true in every industry but one
case is especially pointed. I know of one
new coal mining machine that would cut
the cost of production about forty cents
a ton. It would make each room of the
mine yield 100 tons a day, whereas each
now yields about eight. The mine
owners will not use it because it endangers
their investment—in some mines
this amounts to $100,000—in machines
of an older design.
The workers and their employers must
abandon these points of view if we are
to get the big results upon which national
safety depends. In times of peace the
nation can afford to be tolerant of these
peccadilloes, in order to oil the wheels of
industry even at the expense of some
national economic loss. Today, however,
every delay, every particle of waste
effort, is a straight blow at the nation.
Every man is duty bound to fan the spark
of patriotism in his own breast, even if
it goes against the grain and apparently
militates against his pecuniary advantage.
As matters stand now, the nation has a
stupendous industrial task before it.
This must be accomplished with about
4,000,000 men less than would be used
in normal times. On first thought, it
seems insane optimism even to hope for
success. Even so, vastly more can be
done with the men and machines we have
if only the wasteful routine can be forced
into a discard. To reform business in
this way is, as I believe, industrial
patriotism. If that were the only incentive,
I would not dare hope for success.
But since both labor and capital
will profit hugely by the change both
now and hereafter, maybe something of
the sort will come.
My notion is that industrial patriotism
as expressed in business short cuts, has a
cash value four times that of wasteful
routine and time-killing as practiced in
peace times.
