Ideas in conflict

Some of the problems and conflicts facing British industry are examined here by two men in the firing line. Denis Johnson, chairman of the Bassett confectionery group, takes a broad view of Government‐industry relations, while Arthur Dearsley — production manager of a Midlands aluminium factory — narrows down this relationship to the boundry sector. But though their thinking may be different in scope, both end up with the same conclusion: that State interference with the market economy can only spell disaster.
