FINNISH TRADE·

In presenting his annual report on the economic, financial and industrial conditions of Finland, Mr. Cecil K. Mackie, H.M. Consul at Helsingfors,

states:-

It may be suid that the year 1928. attained less favour- on the whole, able

results than any of its immedi- The most notable ate predecessors. features in the economic life of the nation during the past year were an inferior harvest brought about by a and gold, dreary and wet summer, necessitating exceptionally large pur chases of grain and other food pro- duce from abroad to meet the needs of the inhabitants, great activity in the building industry, laying a heavy burden on the financial resources of the country, and last, but perhaps not least, industrial disputes of a more and determined nature prolonged than experienced by Finland in re- cent years, including a dockworkers' strike which broke out in the begin- ning of June, and which at the time of writing (March, 1829) still re- mains to be settled. (It has since

in

As regards the external trade of the country, this likewise cannot be regarded from a national standpoint to have been entirely satisfactory for Finland. Partly owing to the failure of the harvest, and perhaps

to greater more pronounced degree

of the activities in the expansion home industries during 1928, the im- ports have been especially large, while the exports have declined. In view of these circumstances when the year closed Finland was faced with an adverse trade balance unequalled during the last decade.

Mr. Barry, the general manager, at "Dublin," in a letter stated he was agreeable to accept the solution pro- posed in the law agent's letter, which was that the Dundalk Board should modify the dues as chargeable in future; and without,
