Gorman enterprise bre Cisplayed itself in a form which offers a serious challenge to raveral important in dustries in Britaip. Our cotton and wcol epinning, silk sad linen, carpet weaving, floor cloth- lipeleum industries aro presented with a rival which may have a atrious influence on the markets of the world which are at present supplied with British goods.

In there industries manufacturers are dependent on raw materials drawn from many sources, more repecially from America for cotton and Austra- lin for wool. The German discovery makes her a producer of her own cop plies of raw material, for it is largely drawn from wood of which she has nnlimited rezerves in her forests. Britich ingenuity may put us abreast with Germany in regard to the discovery, but we are hopelessly handicapped through the excessiva depletion of our timber supplies during the years of the war.
