It was emphasised, however, that Howard Scott is not connected with the committee. ,

The programme, as announced, includes the following proposals: "That the people legally acquire the means of production and distribution and the natural resources of the continent; that the trained technicians, in all fields, bo drafted to integrate and modernise tho equipment, operate the machinery, find administer tho resources of the continent for the equal benefit of all, and that a technologically sound Social mechanism bo established, under which every adult- capable of service shall contribute his service to the end that by such co-operative industry the individual shall vastly increase the standard of. his living and acquire a leisure in which to pursue his own interests in "a way hitherto possible only to the privileged few."
