 C. Str.tistics of the Indutry

 Prior to the adoption- of their Code this Industry had never
attempted to gather. factual -datan, and in fa-ct had seemingly no idea
of the value of such. Under a code and because of an appreciation
by Code Directors of the value of such material there begon the
collection of data that at t'..e close promised to be of great service.
Progress was naturally slow because of industry' s inertia, due to
their lack of understanding, anmd it is also to be believed,to a fear
of disclosing and facing facts.
