Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scientific Research for the Linen Trade: Reprint of Articles Written for the Provisional Research Committee
This does not mean that Government control of industry should be continued. Far from it. Gov ernment control, unavoidable under the conditions of world-wide war by land and sea, would stifle trade instead of expanding it, when markets have again become normal. Not control but free organi sation is what our post-war industries will require. Organisation means the substitution of cc-operationfor competition. There will be plenty of com petition - keener than ever before - but it will be competition internationally between industries as a whole, or groups of industries, in which we must be prepared to find Germany before long taking again a prominent place for she is far from being reduced to commercial impotence. It is in order to be able to meet this foreign competition with our industry that we should as far as possible eliminate competition within the industry itself at home. In all industries there are a number of more or less closely related sections or branches, whose particular interests are to some extent conflicting but it will always be found that the interest which they all have in common covers a much larger and more important area.
