men numbered Of the captains OF the
industry who are visiCned enough
to, not only recognize the present
situation, hut who have the power to
reconstruct the industry upon bet
ter basis. We must confess ourselves
to be a leaderless industry, an un-
captained crew, that is not able to
see the situation and to rise to the
necessary heights to meet and TO
overcome its every obstacle.
THE independent Industry must.
OF course, be rehabilitated and re-
stored to It's former prestige and
power, and this must be done at
whatever cost to the vanity OF the
pride OF those that would destroy it.
In the last analysis, the independ

portions The Capitalization OF un-
limited wealth must not be in
creased. The markets at home and
abroad must be opened and kept so.
This is particularly true OF the ex-
port market. so securely closed TO

be a withdrawal OF the big business
from any direction or participation
in affairs OF the national govern
ment, but above all there must be
the heart and the resolution and the
courage to effect all this change.
