PREPARING FOR PEACE
"The association looks forward with hope to the day when peace will be restored to the world and trade and industry will be able to return to normal peace-time working conditions." says the annual report of the Wellington Employers' Association. When peace was declared, many problems would face industry, and employers should remain closely associated, bearing in mind the need that would exist, when the war ended, for employers and traders to fully co-operate in an endeavour to get back to normal trading conditions. It was pleasing to note that the viewpoint was being expressed by leading business men the world over that an effort should be made to bring about gradually the return to normal conditions.
"Viewing trade and commerce as a whole," states the report, "controls cannot but have the effect of bringing about a state of stagnation, which may eventually break down and precipitate a crisis in industry. Let us, therefore, do our utmost as business people to safeguard the general interests and not assist in permanently establishing conditions that have been deemed necessary only as war measures."
