THE ANTI-DUMPING BILL

PROTECTION OF HOME INDUSTRIES.

In a special article describing the pur poses and provisions of the Imports and Exports Regulation Bill the Board of Trade Journal says ---

Daring the war it was found noceretry for various urgent reasons—the necessity of conserving tonnage, the guaranteeing of supplies for home necessities, the pro vention of goods of importance reaching" the enemy, and so on-te impose upon the community a very drastic system of control over both imports and exporta. It is the desire of his Majesty's Govern:|| ment to remove this control altogether in so far as may be consistent with national safety and national obligations. There are, however, three claasce of cases for which some more or less permanent pro vision of a power to Létrict imports is considered necessary, and there are a certain limited number of articles in respect of which the possible exercise of a power of export control bas to be pro valed for

The enaes referred to, in which freedom t import without restriction requires to b curtailed, are, first, where an exporter is some other country seeks to dump food in the United Kingdom, ie, to goods at prices substantially lower than those ho sells them in his home market. Any action of this kind constitutes an attack on our own industries against which we hate a right to take counter- measures. Secondly, there are some vital "key" industries which it is absolutely necessary to safeguard from the affects of foreign competition. Lastly, there is a possibility that owing to the purely temporary condition of the Foreign Ex- changes we may be flooded with goods from countries which enjoy a momentary bounty on expo tation as a result of a depressed exchange. Any such food, were it to occur, would place serious obstacles in the way of our economic recovery.

THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENTION. Apart from these special cases it is the intention of his Majesty's Government that the war control of imports and ex ports should be absolutely swept away It may be recalled that recommendations for the prevention of dumping and the enfe guarding of carential or key industries were made by a non-political Committee under the Chairmanship of Lord Balfour of Burleigh, which was appointed in July, 1916, by the Late Prime Minister to consider the Commercial and Industrial Policy to be adopted after the war, and which reported before the end of 1917. The Balfour Committee were naturally not in a position to contemplate the results that might follow from the collapse of the Foreign Exchanges, which has since occurred, and which may necessitate pro visions that; after all, are justified by much the same considerations as are anti dumping provisions.

"The directorate recognised that in an undertaking aiming to produce 100,000 motor vehicles a year, they could not afford to rely on other firms for the sup ply of steal or aluminium, or for magnetos or radiators.
