wages by the workers have more wide reaching effects than the majority of people realise. Employers do not object to the man being part high wages if the OUT OF THE output is in proportion. This the men refuse, and wish to restrict output, with the result that there is a great increase in the cost of production, the execution of contracts, is seriously delayed, and Bri- tish manufacturers find themselves unable to grote either a definite price or date of delivery

PLAYING INTO TUE HANDS OF RIVALS. This means that we are playing into the hands of our great commercial rivals, America and Japan. India is full of the agents of these countries who are taking advantage of the position in England, and are quoting definite prices and dates of delivery for their goods, and many orders are consequently grig to these countries, which might be secured by England. Un- less the British manufacturer wakes up quickly, bo will find by the time his factories are working normally, that the market is lost. As a general rule big buyers in India prefer goods of British make and do not mind if the cost is more, provided they are certain of getting de livery at the specified time. To the mall. native buyer price is everything, ho is compelled to go to the cheapest market.. which,

owing to mass production, is Ame rica

THE DIFFICULTY OF GETTING DELIVERY- Questioned more in detail upon the sub- ject, be said

I had orders to place in England from my firm in Calcutta, but upon seeing the managers of the different works, I was told that no definite date could be given for delivery, owing apparently to, the perhaps natural-preference given by manufacturers for home orders. Why will not the British manufacturer realisé that this is totally and utterly bad and short-sighted policy! It is essential that England should have money from outside sources, and this can only be got by seli- ing goods abroad. Every article manu- factured in and sent out of England moung money brought into the country, whereas every article manufactured d sold in the country is only putting money from one pocket into another. S

Again, English prices are higher than those quoted by competitors, but, as I have said, this is not a great objection buyer can be assured of delivery,”

English manufacturers, as a whole, fail to realise that during the war there has increase in the growth of fecal industries in the Colonies, for of ample--iron at steel, railway wagon and bridge building, galvanising, hollow-ware, paints. pencils, etc., etc. The Colonies. have gained experience during the war, and are now in 's good position to com- pete with the English manufacturer, s all the raw material necessary can obtained locally, and labour is cheap, and CHINA it prices in England increase and freights remain high, they will prove very formid- ablo competitors to the English market. It is easy to point out romedies for this unsatisfactory state of things, but it is & much more difficult matter to make those remedies effective.
