Summary: The future of our country lies in the success of her industrialization. The welfare state of today has much to do in many fields of public endeavour. but certain fields of activity have a significance all their own. Our success on the food and population fronts will decide whether the economy, and hence the democratic State, will remain stable or not, but it is our industry and technology that will decide whether the State will ever be able to get anywhere near the forefront of the leading nations of the world. The competi tion for world leadership between the two titanic nations of today, which has long gripped the imagination of the world and caused grave misgivings in some quarters, is but the continuation of the old race, though at a new pace, for progress and leadership that started with the very beginnings of mankind. Such a race, which has become increasingly critical and exciting since the termination of the Second World War because of the fantastic achievements in science and technology, cannot leave the newly-independent nations untouched. The Industrial Revolution, now but a mere historical interlude, was in its time as fundamental and far-reaching if not also awe-inspiring, for who indeed would not feel his pulse racing at the sight of a horseless carriage tearing along at the unheard-of speed of ten or even fifteen miles an hour? as the taming of the atom or the conquest of space. When the United States of America threw off her colonial yoke and became independent. her first impulse was to remain a peaceful agricultural nation living contentedly in the countryside, tending her flocks and tilling her farms by honest toil and endeavour Thomas Jefferson, third President (1801-09), who dreamt of a great rural republic wrote: "While we have land to labour, let us never wish to see our citizens occupied at the work bench or twirling a distaff." For the carly Americans "it was to be a farmers' paradise, not a merchants', bankers'. or industrialists' preserve."
