That Is the statement Of the chAirs
man Of the federal board. In Europe
they have the organization. They have
better. discipline and more efficiency In
production than ever. The economic
basis Of production has not been af-
fected. Oven the waste OF men, IN
view Of the numbers coming along
year by year into industrial activity.
leaves them more men today to enter
into production than they had before.
These are facts for American bus-
mess men and American laborins men
to think over. When It is said We
need organization. I agree. There Is
one thing that is not said. II Is the
thing that whatever your organization.
whatever your alertness. you have got
to have your markets protected against
those whose labor Is poorer paid than
the American laborers.
