We congratulate the Daily Mail on its decision to pay
the expenses of a party of British working men who will v' :it America to study the causes of industrial prosperity there. The Daily Mail's enterprise seems to have been inspired by the report on American industrial conditions by Messrs. Bertram Austin and W. Francis Lloyd, which we discussed last week. The party will include a fitter, a turner, a machine man, a boiler-maker, a moulder and a pattern-maker. Last Saturday the Daily Mail published a letter from Mr. G. N. Barnes, who heartily approved of the visit and emphasised the argument with which we have been making our readers perhaps almost too familiar in recent years, that high production with the help of labour- and time-saving machinery means high wages and cheaper goods. No other possible solution of the Industrial problem can compare in importance with this.
