OUR LONDON LETTER." EXPECTED GREAT EXPANSION OF BRITISH TRADE. -

LONDON, December 3 The end of the year fads people, as usual, in retrospective mood. In looking back on 1919 it is, perhaps, disappoint ing that more has not been achieved in the settlement of problems created by the world war - As the year started, so

The country is settling down again not so rapidly as might be desired, but it is settling, and that is the main thing. A saner view is being taken by Labour of the future. It is recognised that there is no short cut to material happiness and prosperity that the way is long and the goal can only be reached by hard work and co-operation between all classes.

A LID FOR FORLION TRADE.

All the signs and portents point to a splendid year in 1990 for British trade as home and abroad. Trade is reviving everywhere. The demand for our goods is enormous. Earlie in the past year manufacturers were "snowed under " with orders for the home market, and although it will take some time yet to get abreast of the demand in this respect, it is satisfactory to know that the im portance of overseas trade is not over- looked There are many manufacturers who are deliberately, allocating a certain pray ortion of their products for export. and if the difficulties in respect of ex change could be adjusted to number pdopting tms wise policy would be very largely increased.

Following Mr. Lloyd George's speech it was said in the lobby of the House of Commons thas the proposals were put up only in order to be knocked down. Tais is a cynical way of stating Abs case, but it does not unfairly represent average Parliamentary opinion on the subject. This is the important point at present, for there is no great opposit.on to the Home Rule proposals in the country at the moment, and, whatever opposition in Ireland may develop into in the near future, it is not likely to have a material

The one ray of hope is that things have come to such a desperate pass in Ireland that, whatever the final shape of the Bill, something conceding self-rovernment will he passed next year. It is inconceivable that the gesing for administration dis. played by the British race in all parts of the world will end for ever in the morass of Irish discontent and disloyalte where Ireland is concerned.
