"VERY MUCH BETTER."
SIR JOSIAH STAMP'S VIEW
OF BRITISH TRADE.
Sir Josiah Stamp, G.B.E., pre- sident of the Executive of the
and London Midland
Scottish Railway, delivered an address on "The Present Transitional Period of British Industry" at a mem- bern' lunch of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and Manu- facturers, in the Caledonton Sta- tion Hotel, Edinburgh. Mr. An- drew Henderson, president of the Chamber, was in the chair, and among those present were Lord Provost Stevenson, Principal Sir Alfred Ewing, Sir David Paulin. Mr. G. J. Scott, Mr. James Morton. president of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, and Colonel Jayne.
Trade, said Sir Josiah Stamp, had been carried on in a perfect welter of fluctuating markets due mainly to the extraordinary changes, the times at which the changes had been made, and the rate at which these things. had been changed.
At the present moment things were very much better so far as British trade was concerned now that France was keeping her price level around a particular figure. Things had been going in ali directions, and the map had been changing every few months, and so the directions of trade had been profoundly modified by the extra. ordinary welter of currency Blue- tuations. It was no wonder that the page of industry hd been very heavily hit. But this kind of fluctuation was nearly over.
Production Increases.
One of their difficulties, continu- ed Sir Josiah Stamp, was that of doing increased business. of get- ting a boom in trade, Another difficulty was that as the trade level dropped it affected the in- come of the cinntry But while the income was becoming less and less there was on thing that was not changing, and that was the canley's deh.
He had, however, studied the census of production, and so far as it had gone it was very encour aging. The net output per person was very much higher.
They had been long waiting for industry to revive, and they had I assumed that it would revive. It was perfectly clear to him that subtle changes had been going on
in nearly every industry, which meant that business men must overhaul their machinery and methods.
