Synopsis
Excerpt from Interim Report of the European Commission of the National Industrial Conference Board: July, 1919
The European Commission herewith presents, in advance of its complete report, some general conclusions which it hopes may be of value at this time when industrial questions, and especially the relations of employers and employees, occupy the front of the stage. In this Interim Report it is not possible to give the body of facts on which the Commission has based its opinions. At the best it is only possible to state briefly the general situation. Those who wish to acquaint themselves more fully with the facts should consult the complete report, which it is hoped may be issued at an early date.
It is to be understood that the Conference Board prints this Report, not as an expression of its official position, but as that of the members of the Commission herewith appended.

Synopsis
Excerpt from Interim Report of the European Commission of the National Industrial Conference Board: July, 1919
The upheaval caused by the European War has not only produced a disturbance in normal conditions Of industry, commerce and finance, but it has raised very difficult questions as to the means by which reconstrue tion may be accomplished. A knowledge of how the processes of readjustment are going on in Europe is of vital interest to Americans. The European Com mission Of the National Industrial Conference Board was concerned in its investigations chiefly with the problems arising from the relations between employers and employees. In its conclusions, arrived at from an examination of two or three months, obviously no ex haustive statements can be made on many matters, each Of which would require much time and space for their full treatment. Yet some results of a practical kind have been reached which it is hoped may be Of value to the industrialists of the United States.
