OPTIMISTIC BRITISH ENGINEERS
Tho attitude of British engineers towards recovery from tho effects of tho war is most interesting and encouraging. While politicians and historians are continually referring to the time which the world took to get straight again after tho Napoleonic and other wars, tho engineers refuse to believe that nations must go through a similar long period of depression before their industries and trade and finance get into a healthy condition. They believe that the progress of British mechanical invention can, if properly applied as a tonic to production and distribution, quickly restore tho strength which was wasted during the. war. Just as British engineering played a leading part in winning the war; so it may be the dominant factor in winning the peace. Consequently British engineers are pressing forward optimistically with many in machinery, invention, transport, and the utilisation of fuel.
