PROSPERITY OF SCOTLAND

GLASGOW “NATURAL PORT

OF ENTRY”.

Lord Ebbisham's Speech

In Glasgow

The view that a development of lighter industries would do much to accelerate the pace of industrial revival in Scotland was expressed by Lord Ebbisham, president of the Advertising Association, in an address at the weekly luncheon mecting of Glasgow Publicity Club, which was held in the Grosvenor Restaurant. Mr. Bryce B. Morri- son presided.

Lord Ebbisham said that a great- er variety of industries would greatly reduce Scotland's depen- dence upon the heavy industries,

springing up and were doing ex- traordinarily well..

The elty of Leicester was a par- ticularly happy example of the benefits accruing from the concen- tration of a variety of light indus- tries in one district, for according to a recent report issued by the Labour Bureau at Geneva that city held the enviable position during 1933 of being second among the most prosperous cities of the world. During the past three years Southerners had realised that but for these divers light industries they would probably have had a much worse time of it. They had done much to mitigate the evil effects of the depression, and he was confident that their expansion would play an important part in

for, our future prosperity.

Then they remembered much the heavy industries Scotland contributed to the pro- Great Britain all sperity of through the nineteenth century, and how important a part they played in providing the ships and munitions which helped us to win the war. Knowing all that, was it to be wondered at that they ad- mired Scotland's pluck in un- paralleled adversity and applauded her every effort to keep an even keel?
