LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS.

It is not unlikely, indeed, that tlie recent failure of large Engi’ish companies partly represents a failure of leai!*• I’,* bin. Business men who are able to handle effectively tlie problems involvcd in l!i" control of three or four large plants often find themselves at sea when dealing with post-war ainalga mil I ions calling for the control of a large parent company and several' subsidiary companies, it. may be that the necessary standard of leadership will ultimately he reached, but not in this generation, liven the control of those large business units to which we in this unintry already arc accustomed present a difficult problem. ' AVe have never Ineei! the question of training lenders of industry and finance: ire have boon content to draw upon those who have graduated in the school of experience, even ihough that experience lias been of a wholly different character. It is significant that in recent years some i . Ibe most brilliant of our public sci'cauls have been attracted to lnisic ", and it appears as though public service is at least ijs good a training ground as business itsei'f. This is not surprising, for the administration of a largo business enterprise resembles in mr a.- respects the administration of a ! vernmeiit department.”—“lndustrial Peace.”
