CHAMPION

If superlatively fine whiskies, like the cham- pions of field and ring, were awarded tro- phies, today's superb Hunter would be so honored. For this finer prestige whiskey is truly Hunter's best—and Hunter has been distilling whiskies of rare distinction since 1860.

But this capacity and this determination must be solidly based upon knowledge and training. The future leaders in this field must under- stand the broad fundamentals that men can only earn more in the long run by producing more with modern facilities; that business can exist and get the capital which creates jobs only if it makes a good profit; that no one piece of our economy can be happy or prosperous if it attempts to profit at the expense of the rest. Both sides must learn that the interest of the public at large is paramount and that the bargaining between capital and labor must scrupulously avoid putting a burden on the public too great for it to bear. Ex- cessive wages or excessive hours of work can be such a burden. Strikes which inter- fere with the public generally can be such a burden. Too high prices can be such a burden.
