...private capital should at once be removed. Business men should be allowed the greatest possible freedom in engineering the gigantic task of setting our peace time industries once more on a firm footing.

A. representative, Arthur Beane, is kept continually busy, as is his secretary, by so many difficult tasks, that it is unfair to place him in the predicament he finds himself in at present, because he is responsible to the national Y.
