Abstract
THE north-east coast of England will have bitter reason to remember for long the first half of the current year, because this highly industrial corner of England has lost by death a greater number of its leading industrialists than can be remembered in any similar period. The names of such men as Sir Arthur Dorman, Sir Charles Parsons, Andrew Laing, Sir Archibald Ross, and now Sir Hugh Bell, all dead since the beginning of the year, show how severely it has suffered such losses would be serious enough at any time, but at a time of crisis like the present, when men of experience, judgment, and knowledge are so badly needed, the loss is even exceptionally deplorable: for, as the above names show well enough, these were men who were known and honoured not only in their own district but also in all industrial circles throughout the world, and no one was better known or more highly honoured than the man whose loss we mourn to-day.
