'CHANGES IN THE FAR EAST.

BRITAIN LOSING AD- VANTAGES.

Writing in The Commercial, Mr. John D. Barlow, who has just re- turned from a visit to the Far East, says:

After a tour of foreign markets one is impressed by the fact that competitors are gradually ousting ua, often owing to our own short- comings. We have many natural commercial advantages throughout the markets of the East, but the all-important question of prices has undoubtedly been A great stumbling block in recent years. The high cost, due to small and

uneconomic production, has in many instances put us out of the market. This has sometimes been aggravated by local exchange diffi .culties.

Generally speaking, how- ever, the East is short of stocks, especially of cottons, but the buyers cannot afford to pay the high prices. Dr. Jones denied that he had at

Mr. Allison, of Preston, moved at the conference of the national committee of the Amalgamated En- gineering Union at Southport, Lancashire, a resolution that as 75 per cent, of the membership was working some system of payment by results, the anion should recog- nise the system and negotiate for a national agreement of control,

Mr. P. Dickinson, for the execu: tive, said his view was that if the nembers had given the pommittee Authority to negotiate on a system of payment by results when the op- portunity occurred some years ago they might have obtained some con- cession from the employers in re turn for an agreement at the end of the dispute in 1992. There was a note attached to the settlement that the union had one month in
