Mr. Samuel announced that Vitamin D, a proved remedy for 'poverty ailments such as ric kets, has been placed on the mar ket in a popular form by the efforts and researches of the British chemical industry.

In the course of his speech Mr. Samuel, said that the prospects of a revival in trade were good. We must work, sell, and save," he continued. "Giren pesce in in- dustry, this country car secure a prosperity greater than it ever on- joyed before. "In a speech which I made in the autumn, I gave the opinion that the curve of British trade was upward, showing a gen the and healthy improvement.

"Events have confirmed that opinion, and there is reason to say that the improvement continues.

I should sum up the general position in these words. The trade barometer shows or the whole a steady rise. notwithstanding the fact that some of the basic indus sries, especially cotton, are doing badly.
