Mr.

called

he

'In
Prince

when
he
first
ar-I
rived
here
In

and
compared
them
with
those
existing
today.
He
pointed
to
the
great
developments
and
actual
progress
which
had
been
made
in
the
meantime.
In
the
early
days
there
had

as
compared
with
those
In

"Why.

he
declared.
Then
we

We
have

to

there
are
none

Mr.

stressed
the
necessity

people
being
wilting
to
content
themselves
on
the
basis
of
the

profits
and
