Foreword
THE National Business Congress was called by the National Business League of America, as the result of a conference of leading national and local industrial and commercial organizations, for the free and open discussion of questions of vital importance to business interests, for the purpose of ultimately finding a common ground upon which to insure a unity of action in the promotion of such reasonable and sane legislation as would, in the judgment of practical men, be beneficial to the industries, commerce and finance of the United States.
There was no intention of organizing another political party. Already there are too many such in existence for the general welfare. It was the special aim of the Congress, however, to encourage business men everywhere to become active in political fields, but, as already indicated, only for the purpose of securing wise enactments for the public good; for the repeal or amendment of harmful, inadequate and unnecessary laws, and for the prevention of premature and ill-advised legislation generally.
The Congress adjourned after empowering the Chairman to appoint a Resolutions Committee to consider the proceedings of the different sessions, and to draft a platform covering the various measures considered; the same to be submitted for the approval of the organizations represented, and of other active bodies throughout the country.
