After-War Industrial Problem.

Norman dapgood. IN Leelte's.
The difference between conserva-
tism and liberalism today is primarily
economic. The problem of reconstruc-
ton after the war is an industrial
problem. It's leading divisions are:
1. What part in industry is to be
taken by the state?
2. What is to be the relation of capt.
tai to labor?
Number is the more important. I'm
der 1t the most important subdivision
is this:
Is labor to have a partnership in
industry. and joint control with cap
ital?
The details of these questions can
only be worked out successfully IL the
spirit is present; In other words, IL
we wish to work them out successfully.
OF what is passing in Germany We
know little, but in the entente coun-
tries much the most Intelligent .prepa-
ration for Industrial relations after the
war. Is being made In England. 1 think
our situation Is more favorable, but
only II we use our opportunity to solve
the difficulties before they become
more acute.
