N.-EAST ENGLAND'S GREAT INDUSTRIES
AN EXHIBITION
PRINCE OF WALES'S OPENING SPEECH
H.R.H. UN INDUSTRIALISM
London, Yesterday. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales opened to-day the North-east Coast Exhibition, at Newcastle, which illustrates the great industries of the North-East of England, the chief of which are mining, engineer ing, and shipbuilding.

Is Royal Highness had enthusiatic reception from the thou sands of people who lined the
streets.
The Prince, in his speech, refer red to the depression under which the district has been suffering. He said the North-east Coast could hardly hope to maintain the supre- macy which it had enjoyed during the 19th century. Courage and imagination were needed to restore its economie prestige.
A Challenge This exhibition was a challenge to the north-east Coast and it was an e announcement to the world that the great shop of this industrial dis- trict was still open, was determined to carry on, and was prepared to meet all orders with the highest traditions of a not unworthy past.
He urged the leaders of industry to show courage, and ruthlessly to scrap all methods and machinery that did not come up to modern standards.
Scientific Development Prior to opening the exhibition the Prince opened the new mining department of Armstrong College. Here he referred to the need for the scientific development of industry. The mining industry is confronted by very stern competition from overseas," he said. "It must be equipped to meet that competition." The Prince added that much as he valued the educational opportuni- ties which were offered to the mining industry, as a whole, they appealed to him particularly in the way that they affected the indivi- dual He welcomed anything which would bring the miner into touch with things of outside-anything which would give him a change from the drab life he had to lead.
