ACID TEST IN INDUSTRY
SECRET OF JAPANESE PROGRESS PRICE NOT QUALITY THE BIGGEST FACTOR United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 27, 7.15 p.m.)* LONDON, March 26. Sir Harry McGowan, a leading industrialist, addressing the Conservative Members Committee of the House of Commons, said that Japanese competition would be intensive in the future, as they profited by Britain’s errors and had installed modern machinery. He had recently visited Japan, where he saw no signs of discontent among the workers. British firms must reorganise and reduce costs, said Sir Harry McGowan. “Price not quality, is the acid test today, and we need a planned programme for industry.” HAVE NEGOTIATIONS FAILED? JAPANESE DELEGATION HOMEWARD BOUND British Official Wireless RUGBY. March 26.
