The mneasure of the rational. healthy development of a country is not the extent of its investment of capital. its output of products. or its exports and inports. unless there is a corresponding economic oiportunity afforded to the citizen dependent upon employment for his material. mental. and moral development. 4. The development of business may be brought abott by nicann which lower the standard of living of the wage carners. A slow expansion of industry which would permit the adaptation and assimilation of the incoming labor supply is preferable to a very rapid industrial expansion which results in the immigration of laborers of low standards and efficiency. who imperil the Anmerican standard of wages and conditions of employment. Mr. Chairman.
