' It was the exceptional mil) luring that period was able to how any proAt at all, and many >perated more from the necessity o{ providing employment for their ope it itives than from liny hope of profit. Even then, however, manufacturers vere hopeful of better conditions and ixcept in rare instances, wages were naintained, the, present level being *rom 60 to 70 per cent above the pre war level.
