CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH,
The Chairman, in opening the procee ings, said he welcomed the decisions of the Washington Conference, but thought sqmething should be done to allow our armament firms to retain their plant so as to have it available, should it ever be required id, the future. The decisions had caused a certain amount of unem- ployment, but we could not at present afford money for anything which was un- productive. Our capital "must be reser ved for productive purposes, which in the long run would bring us more employ ment than would come from the spending of money.
Referring to proposals for the recon- struction of Europe and the Cannes Con ference, the Chairman said he was afraid that many people who were used to the Russian trade would say that, if there was to be this kind of international co- operation by Governments, they would! stay out of it. Russia had gone so far over the waterfall that perhaps the only way for her to recover was start all ov agin as an agricultural country, and that would take a long time.
"
With regard to the standardization of the currency, Mr. Balfour announced that the Council of the Association had sent a letter to the Prime Minister stating that the only currency which the country could hope to stabilize was that of the United Kingdom, which they thought should gradually be brought back to a gold basis. The rate of progress in that dires.. tion was now satisfactory and should be retarded. The neither accelerated nor Council had alea written, to the Prime Minister urging the desirability of nego tiations in order to obtain the benefits which accrue if the repayment of the debts of the Allied nations to Great Britain were spread over a long period. Such arrangements, however, should be subject to the countries in question meet- ing their national expenditure out of ree venue, and ceasing to inflate currency by the use of the printing press. Cheers.) - Referring to the complaints about the postal system, the chairman said that a committee had been appointed with a view to obtaining the views of all Chambers and assisting the Government. It was a national question, and a meeting would be held shortly to go into the matter. one of The fundamental question wṣa wages and bonuses paid to employees, and, as these were paid to the result of a Cabinet decision, the responsibility rest ed with the Cabinet, and not with the Postmaster General.
THE CONSULAR, BERVICE,
Sir George Renwick, M.P., moved r resolution urging the Government still further to improve the British Consular service so as to facilitate British trade abroad. The service was, he eail, inade quale, underpaid, and altogether under staffed They read in The Time a few days ago a statement by Lord Northcliffe that he had found in the course of his tour in the East that our Consular är- rangements were totally inadequate; that the Consuls were badly housed and grossly over-worked. That ought not to Our Consular representatives ought
be
to be properly paid and have a sufficient staff. At present lots of men were afraid to go into the Consular service, because they knew they would not get a living wage.
W. Raine (Sunderland) seconded the motion, and Mr. G. A. Moore (Liver pool) said that of late the Department of # Overseas Trade had greatly increased pur Consillar representation,
Sir Edwin Stockton (Manchester) agreed that there bad been great improvement lately in the service, and said that the Government should not exercise economy in the direction of restricting "trade.
