Labour, Finance, and the War

4.9/5 (16384 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Labour, Finance, and the War: Being the Results of Inquiries, Arranged by the Section of Economic Science and Statistics of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, During the Years 1915 and 1916 This book is the result of organised co-operative effort. The work of last year, published under the title of Credit, Industry, and the War, was so well received that it was determined to proceed with another volume. Three committees of investigation were established, and the British Association most generously furnished funds to continue the work. The investigations which have been completed should prove helpful to those who will be responsible for our economic reconstruction when peace is restored. The financial position and its possibilities have been examined and explained by experts, and Labour difficulties, both those which have caused anxiety for years past and those brought into existence by war conditions, have been discussed with those in practical touch with them. Thus it is hoped that the recommendations here put forward may not only arouse interest but lead to some definite results. The fear undoubtedly exists in industrial circles that peace abroad may bring us face to face with serious troubles at home. If Capital and Labour should enter upon a period of strife the seriousness of the consequences can hardly be exaggerated. Thus an attempt has been made to construct a forecast of the commercial future. This forecast is the result of many discussions with representatives of varied interests, and it is printed in the hope that it may stimulate others to give thought to the subject. The knowledge and experience of business men may lead them to modify or develop some of the points advanced. But if it induce leaders in the commercial world to make a definite effort to look ahead with a view to discussing their conclusions with all other interested parties, a great thing will have been achieved. One is convinced that unless the leaders on both sides of industry take up a more statesmanlike attitude there is more than the possibility of a disastrous struggle. Common sense, frankness, and a disposition to give and take are required from both sides. If these be practised, and our trade organisation be developed on the lines suggested in the following pages, there would be little need to feel anxious as to our industrial and commercial future.
