THE VITAL NEED OF EXPORTS

SIR A. GEDDES” APPEAL TO IRON AND STEEL TRADEJ

Bir Auckland Geddes President of the Board of Trade, addressing the Londch dron and Stool Exchange, declared, that the iron and steel trades of the countr were of great interest to the Government not only for immediate purposes, but for Joar distance purposes, because we had to face very difficult problems and find solutions for them. One of those prob lems was the "anding of occupation for the big population which now had to engage

in industry in some form or an- other..

He did not know that it was fully realised yet, but it was a fact that one of the results of the war was that there were now more people in the coun try who had to earn their daily bread as wage earners than there were before. That condition of affairs would be even more markedly so when the demobilisa tion of the

(Hear hear.) So far na the immediate prospects were concerned. he personally, had no doubt that it was within their power so to increase the country's oversea trade that they would have in a very few months, perhaps, e greater volume of export trade than they
