and his guests left Washington this after
noon st 3:15 for New York. where they will

''You know" he said, I'VE want to take a

Great Faith in Our Future.
Mr. Moseiy has great faith in the future
of the United States. He believes there is
no danger of a reaction from the present
activity. and that the prosperity Of the
future will be so much greater than that
of the present time that present fears will
seem ridiculous in view of future develop
ment. He gives the United States the first
place in the commercial world, and thinks
England and Germany will struggle for sec
ond place He thinks England will hold
this If American methods are adopted.
hence his commission of inquiry.
OF South Africa Mr. Mosely Is not enthu-
siastic agriculturally. but he believes that
the mineral development Of that country
during the next few years. will be
founding and the production Of gold so
great that values will be changed through
out the world. He says there are vast gold
deposits as vet untouched. and that when
they are worked gold will become so plenti-
full prices of all commodities will rise
everywhere.

What is to Be Accomplished.
1t was originally intended that a certain
number of employers should also be invited,
on the investigating tour, but on further
consideration this Idea was abandoned,
since 1t was thought wiser to leave the
trade unions delegates entirely unham-
pered, and to avoid anything that might
present even a remote semblance of i'm
posing the views Of employers upon them.
On the return of the commission to Eng
land a series Of reports wiH be published,
written by the delegates, each from his
own point of view entirely, but no attempt
will be made at a joint report. 1t may be
added that the commission is strictly non
political. and that Mr.. Mosely is anxious
for It's inquiries to be as unrestricted and
comprehensive as possible. 80 that 1t may
be in position to judge that Of the weak
ness and of the strength Of American meth
DDS.
Perhaps the fundamental point which Mr..
Mosely hopes the members of the commits
sion will realize as result of what they
see and hear is that the United States is an
industrial competitor which this country
cannot afford to ignore. There are people
in England who hold that the danger of
American competition has been grossly ex-
aggerated or who even deny that it exists
at all as factor in the industrial situation,
and this attitude unfortunately is sedulous-
ly fostered by certain organs that profess
TO pay particular attention to the interests
of labor.
