There Is much talk Of reconstruction,

with no disadvantage to It, will soon

prosperity of the world.
From the experience born Of the war,
can we not hope for Il better understand
ing between business and GovernmC Z ?
The results obtained from conservation
and standardization and from the substi-
tuition of the material for another, should
be preserved for the henefit of our m
dustries. The development of new
sources of supply within the boundaries
of our country should be engaged new
industries which have sprung up from
the necessity Of the war should be fos-
tered and developed. and l am wonder
ing whether the wasteful practices of
competition, under some circumstances
should not be permanently done away
with. The greatest impetus possible
should be given to the development of
our foreign trade. It will be my great
pleasure at some future date to make
recommendation covering these specific
points.

~ it is permitted me to urge a few
words Of practical advice to American
industry, should say to them: Beware
of the temptation hastily to lay rash
hands upon wages" said Secretary Of
Commerce William c. Redfeld in ad-
dressing the reconstruction congress of
the Chamber Of Commerce of the United
states today. Concentrate thought,
purpose and effort on output" he ad-
vised.
Continuing M. Redfleld said.
Tind and seize hold upon all that
science has said or can say concerning
industry. 1t was largely because Ger
many made her industries the operating
end of her science that her commerce
grew SO fast and powerful in the years
before the great war It was more Ger
man science than German wages that
made her competition dangerous. The
responsive power of well-paid and con-
tented labor to far-sghted leadership in
industry Is tho greatest force in produc-
ton, and happy are they who have 1t
behind them.

Our near future foreign policy is

capacity of the worlds shipping. I am
