GOOD WILL IN INDUSTRY [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,--Mr. Warre Bradley's letter in your issue of January 1st, advocating a " Peace in Industry " week of conferences and discussions by all the leaders of Capital and Labour to thrash out the problems which beset the present industrial situatiori is surely one of the most practical and hopeful suggestions that have been put forward for the solution of our present difficulties. There must be numbers of such men whose long experience of these difficulties would enable them to outline valuable plans for combating the evils which so seriously menace the welfare of the whole community ; but their plans can carry but little weight when emanating from those who are merely " ploughing lonely furrows."
What is needed is that they should pool their ideas and combine to beat out some settled course of action which shall gain the confidence of all sides, and relay the foundations of that social and economic progress which is our supreme national need at the moment, and which alone can give effect to that " will for well-being " and " desire for good will " that assuredly underlies the motives of the majority among
all classes of our people.—I am, Sir, &c.,
EDWARD ST. G. SCHOMBERG.
St. Andrew's Vicarage, Westminster.
