So little that can be said at a time like this
seems measurable with the tremendous events
which unroll before us, that chit-chat about busi-
ness takes on just now a color even more pallid
and washed-out than usual. Yet, so long as
one sees the facts and retains one's sense of
proportion, it is even now possible to say some-
thing sensible and worth-while on a business
topic without falling into inanity or bombast.
The truth is that the world war came upon us
all so suddenly, and has receded so suddenly in
turn, that most of us had hardly, when the end
came, adjusted ourselves to the necessary com-
plete change of viewpoint on all matters of in-
terest to us. Yet, nothing can be more obvious
than we cannot possibly go back to old ideas
and old standards. The world before 1914 was
rapidly falling into a state of simple rottenness
in more than one respect. The war has waked
the world up, has made it realize the value of
self-denial and has brought into being a better
understanding than has ever before existed of
the meaning and true value of eternal principles,
of right, of justice, of self-sacrifice.
The
awakening has only been partial, but a partial
awakening there certainly has been. It would
be very unfortunate if the business world, at
any rate, were to permit itself to sink back
again into the old-time sleep and to believe that
things will relapse into the old ways. They
will not relapse, and the result of believing they
will is certain to manifest itself in business dis-
aster. Just as plainly the result of any clean
and straightly persistent effort to adjust oneself
to the new order must be business success.
Every business man, not less the business man
whose special interests induce him to read this
music roll department, might as well make up
his mind that a new era is dawning for the
world and that one of the principal results of
turning on the light must be that sham and
buncombe will be more nearly appraised at their
true value. It is greed and its foster-brother
fraud which sow the seeds of wars; it is the
sense of fair play and its foster-brother straight
dealing which prepare the ground for the reign
of peace. The business world, indeed, is hav-
ing daily experiences of the truth of these facts.
So is our own trade. When the war first broke
out its immediate effect was seen in falling sales-
figures and a feeling of general panic. Later
the prosperity of the whole nation was reflected
in enormously increased business, but along with
this came such a rise in the cost of material and
such shortage of certain essentials that drastic
reformation in various business methods be-
came necessary. Applied at first fearfully and
hesitatingly, these have now been assimilated,
as it were, into the business framework, and
are being found to be blessings. It is just such
square facing of facts and determination to get
on the right side of them, which will not alone
pull us through any confusion incident to the
reconstruction, but will put us in a sounder and
more stable position than we have ever yet oc-

cupied. The future is full of bright promise;
if anything goes wrong it will be our fault de-
cidedly.
It is to be hoped therefore that the business
men who have to run the affairs of the music
roll industry will not fail in their interpretation
of the new order. The signs of the times are
clear. They bid us prepare for a period of
legitimate expansion and prosperity, but also
for a period of clear vision, of much scrapping
of outworn ideas, of realism and of sharpened
public ability to face facts and to judge values.
In a word, we have to play our game from now
onward in the open, with cards face up. We
have already started some good ideas going.
The elimination of wasteful production, of quan-
tity, simply because it is quantity, of wholesal-
ing methods, the use of which only irrespon-
sible recklessness could excuse, has been already
most valuable. To-day the industry is finding
itself, and is healthier than it has ever been.
Let us keep it so. And let us remember that
the best way to do this is to put ourselves from
now on in harmony with the awakened con-
sciousness of the world; that is to say, in har-
mony with straight, clean, bunkless business.
