Excerpt from War Time Control of Industry: The Experience of England
British control of industry during the war has-passed through three phases. The first, extending over some ten months, was a period Of tentative action, the Government taking only obvious self-protective measures; the second, lasting for nearly a year and a half, was a period of determined regulation, the Government now being con cerned to increase. The output of munitions of war, to secure supplies for the army at prices below those of the market, and to regulate shipping; the third, beginning at the end of 1916, has proved to be a period of stringent control, governmental regulation Of the production, dis tribution, and consumption of food being its marked characteristic. The doctrine of laissez faire, still re spected in 1914, had by the end' of 1917 passed into at least temporary oblivion.
