During my visit to Great Britain I have been surprised to find how many factories have sprung up during the war, which whilst producing munitions of a highly complicated character lack a staff, the members of which as a whole possess that long and careful experience in technical production always considered necessary in the qualifications of men for executive or responsible positions.Yet the fact remains that these concerns are producing, and the product in many cases is of a high quality. We are, however, living in exceptional times, when competition—in the true sense of the word—is absent; but if the best is to be obtained now and in the future, when these factories will have to strain every effort for their existence, it will be necessary that production on a strictly economical basis be considered.My experience shows that in a number of cases there exists a misconception of what a proper system of control means, and the advantage accruing there from is unknown.

In this paper the taxation position is described as it applied in the fiscal year 1959–60. The detailed provisions of the various enactments which govern taxation in Great Britain are subject to revision from time to time and it must therefore be made clear that minor variations must be expected in the future. Major changes in the basis of taxation of retirement benefit schemes having been effected by the Finance Act 1956, it is not expected that the broad pattern will be greatly changed in the foreseeable future.

The concluding chapter critically reviews the role of European integration in improving British-Irish relations, and in the making of the Good Friday Agreement. Four major votes across Northern Ireland between 2016 and 2017 are surveyed, paying particular attention to the 2016 referendum on EU membership. Predictions are made about the future of Northern Ireland and its union with Great Britain or its reunification with Ireland based on unfolding developments. Transformations South and North, political, social, and economic, are emphasized. The closure of the prospects of a second partition of Ulster is highlighted. Discussion about the possible breakdown, decay, or amendment of existing consociational provisions, and possible modes and modalities of Irish reunification are considered against three twilights that are highlighted, and sketched.
