Show Enlightened Business, and the Press, Has United the American People By CHARLES M. SCHWAB, Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The unity of the American people is an outcome of the process of enlightened en-lightened business. Through the investment of capital in the means of transportation and communication, the American people throughout this vast area have been brought into closer contact with one another, and to each of our people has been made available the results of the effort of the people as a whole. You buy a newspaper for 2 cents. It brings to your table the results- of the efforts of news gatherers in all parts of the world. To bring these results to you involves a vast expenditure -of capital for printing presses and plant, as well a3 enormous expenditures for cables and other charges, all of them made cheap by the investment of huge sums of capital cap-ital in other directions. That the average man today enjoys, in a measure, the wealth of all men, museums and art galleries that wealthy men have given to the people peo-ple are proof. |
