Abstract

The address of the Hon'ble Mr. Manmohandas Ramji, Presi- pent of the Indian Industrial Conference, is well thought out, based on actual experience of agriculture, industry and commerce. After reviewing the hardships caused by the war and the possibi- lities of capturing the trade of Germany and Austria, he states that "a large portion, if not the whole, of the trade, can be cap- tured if our people acquire the necessary scientific training, experience and, above all, a thoroughness of working. I appeal to our young men to devote themselves more and more to science, trade and industries and to take up their work in no light-hearted spirit, but to apply themeselves heart and soul to their respective line of work, giving their best to it and thus help forward the cause of commercial and industrial progress.
