The Prince, in striking sentences, appealed for an intensification of individual effort and enterpris,| and a realisation of the urgent need of modernisation in every depart- ment of trade-particularly in methods of marketing.

Let us admit for a start,” he said, that the position of our export trade is not what it used to be, and still less what we should like it to be. We have, for several years, been losing ground.

"A goodly share of the best avail- able brains must be concentrated on the difficult, complex, but most in taresting jobs of fighting competition in the world's marketslid

"The employers engaged in the struggle for world trade must re- cognise the aced for employing a mare adequate and a more appro- priately educated staff if British trade is to live and grow, and not to wither and die.

"And they must make it clear beyond a doubt that for such staff they are prepared to pay au at- tractive price and give them in their work abroad adequate finan- cial backing, so that they may have heart of the commercial centre of our Empire.....

"They must, moreover, courag ously and steadfastly back them up by policy based on the needs of today rather than on the traditions of former years and wholly different times.
