Raw Material In Abundance Britain Once Again In

Sound Position LONDON, July 22 (Reuter). -Britain's raw material position has so much improved that it is now possible to restore the full allocation of raw materials for export trade, while at the same time maintaining the necessary' supplies for increasing munitions production.

The vial importance of maintain- ing the export trade is fully realised by the Government, it was stated to day, and to this end the policy of taking steps to restrict home con- sumption where possible will be pursued.

Juna Trade Returns Trude returns for June show a fall of £14,000,000 in imports and decrease of £9,300,000 in exporta as compared with May. This was main- ly due to the cessation of trade between Great Britain and Asla entalled by the

diversion of shipping from the Mediterranean.

On the other hand the exports of Roods to the United States, South America, Canada, South Afrien and Australia were all maintained at the high average level of the three pre- ceding months.

Another factor touching upon the decrease in exports was Italy's entry into the war, and the cessation of trade with Invaded territories.
