Robertson, who was a member of the Asquith minis- try, dwells on the absolute 'need of greater production, having regard to the war debts and the export trade of Great Britain. There is good ground for hoping that further reductions of working hours, with real wages above pre-war levels, will be found compatible with an increased output, but this cannot be dene without the production of saleable goods for in- ternational exchange. If Germany is again an industrial competitor with labor equally . efficient, working at lower wages for somewhat «longer hours, the industrial situation may beconie a very anxious one.
