the consumption of Empire fruit in this country. ·

The outstanding features of the Committee's labours is the setting up of an Empire Marketing Board phose duties will be to carry out the recommendations of the Com- mittee and to spend the £1,000,000 a year which Parliament has voted To assist the marketing of Empire foodstuffs. The Committee point |◆ out that the suppy of fruit to this. country is a trade of great magni- tude and value. More than three- quarters of the fruit Imports 'are' lorived from foreign countrieà and lens than one-quarter from the overseas Empire. It is the deliber ate opinion of the Committee that the greater part of the fruit now. derived from foreign countries might at no very distant date be obtained from British sources over- Seas.; The result of such expasi sion of markets in the Home coun try for Empire fruit would be seap in the corresponding growth of British overseas markets for goods manufactured by the Home cour- Lry The Committee considered: how the fruit Industries of the Em pire could best be developed and one policy which seemed to be im mediately available was that which they had described in their first eport as the policy of developing voluntary preference on the part of the consumar. This policy, it a recommended, should be based on, firstly, the organisation of pro- ducera within the Empire and, secondly, on the mobilisation of oneumers in the Home country. In regard to the marketing of fruit; the Empire Marketing Board will organise and operate a campaign of publicity, provide an intelligence service and ondertake the direc
