London, July 18.

Great Britain has reason to approach the coming year with optimism, according to Mr. Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, who spoke in an en- couraging vein in the House of Commons this afternoon. He was introducing the Board of Trade returns when he said:

"I was unduly pessimistic last year when I said that we had probably reached the saturation point for home trade. It has gone on steadily increasing and expand- ing in different directions.

"Our exports and manufactures continue to show a marked improvement, especially in machinery, where the versatility of our manufacturers and inventors is so great that while other countries have shown a decline, we have recorded a substantial increase."
