BUSINESS INEFFICIENTS.
LORD WAKEFIELD’S VIEWS. “ Eventual retribution is generally the lot of the inefficient, reckless, or dishonoured man of business. No billiance will save him from disaster in the long run. There is, however, a certain comfortable slackness, not pronounced enough to lead to complete ruin, but yet serious enough in the aggregate from the national and civic point of view. We owe it not only to ourselves but to the community to put our whole energy into our business undertaking. Half a loaf may be better than no bread, but half a mind is a dangerous economy. Go in to win. If your business offers you a choice between a jog-trot mediocrity and steady, energetic expansion, the national interests demand that you should respond to the-opportunity. It is possible—just possible—to drag on in business with old, worn-out plant, in dark, ill-planned, unsuitable buildings. I think it is a good thing that it should be increasingly difficult to Wakefield.
