It has not been the practice in the past to disclose in detail the exact amount received in fees, percentages, or other emoluments by directors.
"The only men who draw the big salaries are those who by their skill and ability make huge sums for the companies which they serve," said a director of a national organisation. "There in Great are many men, Britain, directors of big under takings, who are drawing £20,000 to £50,000 a year.
If it were disclosed to the shareholders that a director 're- ceived £50,000 as a result of his year's work there would from a number of small-minded people at once be a cry that no man was worth that sum. These men would not stand heckling and would retire, and their genius would be lost to British industry when it was most needed.
