Engineers of quality, needed certainly, but deserved, perhaps

To maintain a high standard of living, Britain has to be a large manufacturing base supplying most of its needs for most types of goods, as well as for export. This will not happen unless we put more resources into educating and training engineers, with the specific intent of expanding the manufacturing industries. This needs changes in the engineering colleges and in their relationships with industry and with the UK Government, if we are not only to retain the present manufacturing base but increase it. Present practices will not suffice.
