Govt. Aware Of Threat To British Exports
London, Mar. 3.-The British Govern- mont is fully aware of the "potential threat" to British exports from revived, German and Japanese competition, Mr John Ed- wards, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trado, told the House of Com- mons last night.
But it had to recognise the "basic fact that Germany and Japan must cease to be pensioners of Britain and America and carn sufficient by overacas trade to pay their way," he added.
He was replying to com-1 plaints that the Government was too complacent about the re-emergence into inter- rational trade of German and Japanese competition.
Mr Frederick Erroll, Con- servative, quoted reports that German exports were planned to reach a lovel in 1952-53 of between 130 and 160 percent of their pre- war level.
