It's useless to blame bureaucrats' slowness and slackness; it is vain to lament over the fact that the assiduity, carefulness, and painstaking work or the average bureau clerks are below those of the average worker in private business. In the absence of an unquestionable yardstick if success and failure it is almost impossible for the vast majority of men to find that incentive to utmost exertion that the money calculation of profit-seeking business easily provides.
