revival Two main reasons have contributed to the dearth of skill. One, of course, is the prolonged depression. Large numbers of skilled workers, despairing of ever regaining employment in their old trades, have sought new Jobs (probably unskilled or semi-skilled) In other districts, where they can- not easily be traced by their former ümployers; and, in any case, their skill has inevitably decayed with

over- emphasise the factor of mechanisa- tion in the displacement of skill. Britain can never hope to compete In the world's markets with the cheap mass-produced goods of the Far East. More than ever before her future as an exporting country will depend on the quality of her. product, and it is skill that makes the difference between quality and shoddy. Το suppose, therefore

that she can dispense with skill is a dangerous fallacy. Falf-skilled men in highly skilled jobs are a source of waste' which is bound to be reflected costs and in diminished competitive capacity. Essentially, the problem is one that must be solved by the fore- thought of industry itself, although the Government is helping in some measure to foster human efficiency through the promotion of training centres throughout the country.

The question of an internation- ai police force for the Baar was dealt with by the League of Na- tions' public session on Saturday afternoon. Aloisi handed over his report showing the countries that had agreed to contribute contin- ents of police and made this aub- ject to the consent of Germany.

Answering a query, the Baar Committee of Three said that the German Government had given a consenting answer. The Saar Commlitee therefore proposed that the League of Nations take cogniz ance of the fact that all the er- sential conditions were fulfiled.
