Njoionly was management frequently 11 slandered by politicians bankrupt of other ideas, but it was also the scapegoat for the failure of the Government's industrial policy, said Mr. J. L. Brockhouse, chairman and managing director of J. Brockhouse and Co., Ltd.. at the company's annual general meeting.

"It needs little imagination," he said, "to realize how galling it is to industrial managements to be urged to greater efficiency and to be the subject of criticism in the task in which they are expert, by Government Departments whose inefficiency and muddleheadedness are plain for all but the blind to see." Mr. Brockhouse thought that the country would continue to suffer for many years from the effects of the failure of the Government's economic policy.

Referring to the past year's operations. he said that a branch of the parent company had been established at Elms Works, Wolverhampton, where, among other activities, the Brockhouse Marchant fuel metering device would be manufactured. Production of this instrument could not be undertaken on a large scale this year. but there was every hope that it would become an important development.
