THE

FAITH IN FUTURE OF BRITISH TRADE

CITY MAN WHO HAS- NO FEAR.

about

Gloomy predictions Britain's export trade are con- troverted by a member of the War Office Advisory Committee of Supply in an interview with a Dany Chronicle representativa.

As a member of an important City firm doing a world-wide business, he is qualified to speak соп- with authority, and his clusious are:

Plenty of orders are reaching this country.

The principal difficulty is to obtaindelivery of machinery.

The home market is stagnant because of the disposal of Gov- ernment surplus.

We shall secure all the tader with which we are equipped to deal.

His views with regard to under production are that the war has resulted in:

The best men bettering them- selves.

The "rotter" becoming lazier

than ever.

The former, he says, have learnt the necessity for being precise; they have benefited from military discipline.

The other class have acquired the art of malingering and shirk- ing. They must be educated and taught how mechanical means cheapen and increase production.

HALF MILLION ORDER. "There is no fear," he states, that America is going to capture our trade in woollens, cottons, and linens. I have just dealt with an order for over £500,000 worth of soft goods for South America. We are now supplying more cotton goods there than our share of the trade was in pre-war day.

"Plenty-of-orders are coming to this country. Yorkshire for woollens, Manchester for cottons, and Leicester for stockings-these need never fear that they will be ousted from the world's markets.

"The woollen trade in York- ahire is working for all it is worth." It can only produce more by increased labour or long- er hours. There are still numbers of men to come back from the Army, and in trade generally female labour is being more and more utilised, .

"Before the war a great many orders that we could have got from South America were being placed in Germany or the United States, because we could not deal * with them quickly enough here. U.S.A. ORGANISED AND EQUIPPED. "We find the United States competing for trade in which they did not particularly interest themselves before the war. To day they are fully organised, and with machinery ready to produce.

The consequence is that they are ready to take orders. Even now we can get things quicker from America than they can be produced here. But that will end when We get going. Lancashire has been doing very valuable and profitable trade. Complaints from the South of England of importa from Japan and the United States, which wore so bitter shortly after the armistice, have ceased. Orders are coming along.

"Costs with regard to wool, cotton, steel, etc, in the United' States are as high as if not higher than this country.

Where, then, is the competi- tion? America has got to buy its wool from the British Colonies. What advantage has she over Great Britain?

WORLD CALLING FOR SUPPLIES, "While we were making 40,- 000,000 yards of linen for aeroplanes, and while 90 per cent. of wool and 70 per cent. of cotton were being produced for govern- ment purposes, the trade of the world had to be supplied from elsewhere.

"The Government were justified in building up huge stocks of material, for no one knew when the war would end. On the other hand, the depleted condition of the whole world's stocks of cotton, linen and woollen goods is calling

21, Abcherch Lane;

"The Government in disposing of their surplus stock, is now selling against the producer. Why should Manchester expect colossal orders for cotton material when tha Government have 28,000.000 yards which they are going to sell?

"The manufacturer cannot both have his cake and eat it. These things have to develop slowly. Once factories are in full swing and can produce material as fast it is waited I have no fears |for our foreign trade.”.

"All tariff restricting the free Bow of gooda other countries,

except Ger- many, for the time being should be removed," he added. "The quicker this country is flooded with American, Japanese ar French goods the better it will be for English workmen. In fact, it will be our salvation, as it will stimulate workers and employers alike to increased effort

"The idea of service wants reinculcating into the minds of the people. The off-banded treat- ment of one person by another is | baving its effect throughout the whole of our economic life, and it is all breathing a spirit of 'don't care. The more that spirit is allowed to permeate the ranks of employers and employed the less production we shall get.
