"The Council for Economics would be assisted by the Continental Council in mapping out a chart of the particular products which represented the especial gifts, capacities and qualities of any one nation. It would be recognized that each division of the community would have a contribution to make to the whole of which it alone would be capable, and that the individuality and life of a nation is an immortal quality engendered by the climatic conditions and subtle forces at work in its own land, and which the hand of man can never permanently deflect or destroy."
