A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT 1 world, and try to estimate their relative indus- trial positions, we find a strong relationship be- tween conservation in its highest sense and indus- trial supremacy. Again, as we turn to history, we find this same relationship constantly mani- festing itself; that is, progress depending upon an ability to see what is worth-while, and a will- ingness to pay for that and that only, and stabil- ity or maintenance depending upon an efficient handling of available resources. As we review history, and observe present con- ditions, we see that the differences between vari- ous countries are becoming less and less, as time goes on. Transportation, with its numerous by- products that affect both the material and the human element, is increasing the likeness be- tween different countries at an astounding rate. This means that industrial supremacy will de- pend more and more upon the handling of avail- able resources and less and less upon distinctive features In these resources themselves. The calamitous war, which is now apparently offering such a serious check to industrial progress, is contributing toward ultimately making working conditions more similar, in that many countries
