"Because business is bad, be cause we are facing this period, of depression, we must with more vigour than ever put our shoulder to the wheel and try to introduce our products in every corner of the world where there is any possible i market for them.

"Our exporting system, in rice particularly, has not a parallel any- where in the world, and it is in view of this that I say, 'Put your own house in order' is a good motto

for us to adopt to-day.
