THE MISSING ELEMENT
IN PROSPERITY
Students of nutrition have told us
for a long time that we need balanced
food^that is. that we need to
consume all the elements of nutrition
i in the proper proportions. Recent
investigations have shown that we
require mce elements than was formerly
realized, and that if any one of
them is lacking, or if there is not
enough of it, the body will suffer, no
matter how much of the other elements
it may be getting. The same
principle applies to the feeding of
plants. No matter how rich the soil
o ^rtain fipirf rnflv be in all the
uxx u w* v^**4 v ? ? elements
of plant food but one, if
there is not enough of that one the
crop will be poor.
The principle of balance applies to
every problem where several factors
have to be combined. It applies very
definitely and directly to the matter of
industrial prosperity, which is quite
as compUcated and depends upon
quite as many things, all working in
. .combination, as the problem how to
feed plants and animals. Xo matter
how many elements are present or
how abundant they are, if one is lacking
or is present in too small a quantity,
the lack of that one will limit
prosperity. If the other kinds are
abundant, they are likely to be unemployed
a large part of the time.
Careful study of the problem. is
likely to discover that as many hith,
x erto unrecognized elements are necesWe

j sary to economic prosperity as to
j bodily health. It is easy to think
j that all ? the essential elements of
I prosperity are present, and to won
der why prosperity does not come.
I From that it is a short step to con
elude that the lack of prosperity is
| owing to the machinations of some
i person or group of persons, whereas
j deeper study would probably show
j that it is owing to a lack of some
necessary thing the need of which has j
! hitherto been unrecognized or unap- j
preciated. i
ova m nit*, be an !
'mere um\. a^i , .
'abundance of manual labor, as there I
is in China, but a lack of knowledge
of agricultural science. There may
be an abundance of manual labor and
j technical knowledge, as in Japan, but
| a scarcity of land. There may be an
{ abundance of manual labor,'technical
I knowledge and land, as in Russia, but
a lack of capital. There may be all
four elements, as there are in this
country today, but a lack of men who
j know how to organize them all ami
| get them to working together smooth- j
! !
In any of those and in a multitude |
j of other instances, the mass of the I
j people may be poor merely because
j some necessary element is missing or
j not present in sufficient abundance.
| The part of wisdom is to try to dis- j
i cover the missing element and then I
I
to take such measures as are neces- j
sary to increase the amount of it.
That plan will produce more durable |
results than laying the blame on some I
one else.?Exchanger,* I WffHliHI I
