MANAGERS AND DIRECTORS COX DRAINED. Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy right). LONDON, Nov. 23.

Britain would emerge the most efficient industrial nation on the globe, but the youth -and ability of the nation must help to regain that supremacy. This was no time for incompetents, whatever their age. or numbers of men battened on to joint stock companies as managers. There were also directors who were parasitical, which the country would not tolerate. While the nationalisation of industries was idling hundreds of thousands, those who arrogated themselves freehold positions were not removing themselves unless bribed.
