ABSTRACT

ON the 26th of May, 1944, a few days after I had sent this Report for printing on the 18th of May, 1944, a White Paper on Employment Policy was published by the Government.1 It has seemed best to let what I had written stand as it had been written, without significant change. The White Paper and this Report are independent contributions to the same problem, representing Coalition Government enterprise and private enterprise respectively. The slower processes of private publication in war make it possible for me to add this Postscript,2 recording briefly the salient points in the White Paper and comparing its approach to the problem with my own approach.
