By this time,, it is a pláce of daily conversation that tho trouble from which we are all suffering is a world-trouble. No body speaks any longer of Britain's Industrial depression without ac knowledging that some at least of our trouble is due to the depression of the rest of the world.

There are those, indeed, who go so far as to argue that if the rest of the world returned to anything like normal prosperity there would be very little wrong with Britain. We need not now discuss that cheerful opinion, nor need we dis- cuss exactly what proportion of our troubles is due to purely British conditions and what to world-conditions: What is really worth remark is that, though everybody is talking about world- depression, hardly anyone has much to say about the possibility' of a world-cure.
