There is no reason why village handicrafts and cottage light-powered industries should not be encouraged alongside large-scale mass-production in factories. An avenue should be developed which combines the merits of modern mechanical production methods with the merits of medieval hand methods. Cheap and widespread electric power, small and easily manipulated machines, local centres for the supply of raw materials and the purchase of finished goods--all these will combine excellently with the "garden city" plan for urban workers and also furnish profitable winter employment for agricultural workers. This factor must now be taken into account.
