Mr, Colcord, Incidentally, took a fling
si the fdilpplng board and Its methods
Ha said that the board did not examine
the bousing situation uutit well Into th"
winter and did not realize that letting
contracts In a wholesale manner was
not sufficient. He touched1 on conditions
at Hog Island and said housing and
transportation facilities should have
been provided before la) lug out the slilp
)rd In this connection he said "Mi i
U that our (Government officials have

times as much goo.N as we could pos-
I'ibly ship,' congesting railroads and
warehouses. American business methods
have conceived production In terms of
material only. They have not human
ized the Industrial system '
He asserted that American business
methods were founded on exploitation
of natural resources and not on pro
duction. Speaking of American banking
sj stems during the present crisis, he said
tbe hanks did not appear to he con
ducted for the benefit of the communlt)
but for the benefit of the stockholders

This brought a round of applause

Iip said, "is passing Into control of the

to the old order Hereafter Industr)
Is going to be organized on the basis
of production and not on the basis of
profits."
Applause greeted his prediction that
"we will never get efficient labor until
labor has an interest In business." This
he said, would have to be brought about
by a gradual process.
"Capital," he contended, "must be used
for public scrlce and not for private
profit, and the real problem Is to bring
capital and labor together.
