Holland. or Germany. But if the crunch is on. and world trade collapses. we will find that that 8 percent. when you add to it the invisibles of banking. insurance. travel. and many other things which relate to the economic status of a great country like our own. will drag us down. just as much as it will drag down nations that are heavily dependent upon foreign trade. We are being skinned alive in the markets of the world precisely because there is the feeling. the dangerous feeling. on the part of much of American business and many American workers. that something has gone out of us. that there is an erosion of motivation. of incentive. of interest. of the work ethic which has been so dominant in our country in its earlier days and its immigrant days. and I think it is high time to try. because the exigencies are just as great as those of war. to arouse an interest in our people in work. in the joy of the perfection of work. and in the joy of teamwork. This is why these productivity councils worked so well in World War II.
