ABSTRACT
In Great Britain there are wide differences of opinion on principle as well as in detail between individuals and between sections of the population. Slower working pace in Great Britain must be due to inferior leadership and organization. The British industrial workers are much lower paid than their American like numbers. Political leaders have an effect on industrial efficiency and on working pace that would have been hard to prove twenty-five years ago, but which is easily demonstrated to-day. Where opinions are wanted on the comparative efficiency—not profits—of various industrial methods, the most informed and dependable will be obtained from men who have had practical production experience with various systems in several countries. Men who have worked all their life in industry in any one country usually share the opinions prevalent in that country, based on their training and experience and on the information available to them.
