The reduc
tion of costs and the study of labour along the linea of industrial psychology were becoming increasingly necessary. The object must be to cheapen produc- tion without necessitating any consider- abit increase in
outlay.
Concerning in public d ministration, Mr. Dunlop called atten- tion to the fundamental importance of transport, public health, tration, forestry, and scientific research of all kinds in tropical economic develop ment. Comparison of existing policies
in these matters in British Guiana and
British Malay showed
striking dif-
ferences he regarded as highly significant and important. He had merely used British Guiana and British Malaya as illustrations providing data and proof for demonstrating the nature of the research he was advocating and engaged in. It was in many respects entirely new in this country, though it was beginning to develop in the United States. The main 1580e WAR the (Cantinued on next Column).
