Abstract
THE industrial complexion of the present-day world, with its political and financial complications, has of necessity led numerous institutions concerned with the production and distribution of commodities, and with means to assess and exchange their value, to abandon convenient and traditional procedure and to discover alternatives which have the merit, under the new conditions, of combining self-preservation with the supply of the public needs.
