24 Bull. Com. L. League Am. 1 (1919)

handle is hein.journals/clla24 and id is 1 raw text is: President's Foreword Now for the C. L. L. A. and for an Organization of 100% Efficiency During the past year and a half the Red Cross and Liberty Loan campaigns have made popular the term 100 percent, as applied to numbers of members and subscriptions in families and organizations, as a demonstration of the efficiency of united patri- otism. Those who reached that goal were proud to publicly display the certificate of their achievement. So. in tiie League, should members strive to make their organiza- tion 100 percent efficient, not merely for sentimental reasons as in the Red Cross and Liberty Loan drives, but because their own welfare. demands such efficiency if they are to receive the full measure of prqtection which a 100 percent efficient organization alone can give them, The Cuimercial Law League of America differs from most professional o;. f!,zations in that it stands not only for high pro- 4esional ideals, but, in addition, seeks to make those ideals attain- able by its unremitting efforts for the material welfare of its members. The founders of the League built better than they knew when they established an organization with purposes both practical and idealistic. Students of social problems agree that preaching ideals to hungry stomachs is a vain task. The League intends to make its ideals practicable by securing a living wage to the practitioners of the law and the realization of professional standards. The League's value to its memhv'r. is in proportion to what they put into it. No matter how intelligently they plan and zealously 'execute, the President, Secretary and Executive Committee by themselves -can produce only a meager part of what'might be accomplished if they were supported by the united effort of all the members. The League belongs to its members. No national organization is more democratic. The members can make it what they will and the nation-wide drive for new members set for April 16th, 1919, gives them the opportunity by exercising a little effort on the part of each to double the membership and increase ten-fold the League's prestige and its effectiveness for service. The question is, will you, the members, Seize this opportunity, in your own interest, as a measure of insurance, so to speak, to make the League a more powerful instru- ment for the defense of the higher schedule of fees and for the protection of the individual lawyer harrassed by unfair competition? I know y ou will, and in doing so you will derive the 'reward and the satisfaction of having served an organization which has done so much for you, as well as from the increased income which will come from the permanence of the new rates and the enforce- ment of League ideals. W. H. H. PMATT.
