Success on the Economic Front

THE

WAR WITHIN THE WAR

With shipping space one of the most precious commodi- ties, it is obvious that ships carrying foodstuffs and raw materials to Grent Britain do not return empty. They load up supplies for British forces overseas and they carry Bri- tish export goods out in ex- change for our imports.

Since Continental markets are cut off, Britain is supply- ing many of the former cus- tomers of Germany and the occupied territories despite the fact that her industrial areas are in the front line and that her first necessity is to

weapons of offence and defence. The total volume of export trade has been well maintained, and it is achieving, and will con- tinue to make an invaluable contribution to the war effort.

There is, of course, a con- siderable element of selection, which must at times make things difficult for the exper- ter in Britain; the goods he would like to sell overseas may be needed here, or it may not be practicable to import the raw material for them, or his products may be very bulky in relation to its value so that it occupies too much shipping space. But for the overgea buyer who wishes to take British goods the answer is simple. He can safely buy anything that is offered in the assurance that he is helping Britain by so doing,

"Buy British"

the maximum efficiency in the war effort, but the situation is rational and comprehensible if these main generalisations are borne in mind.

The goodwill of buyers in coun- tries overseas, their desire to help Britain in her struggle for free- dom, are Obelously important fac- tors which must not be forgotten. The reception given to the Wil lingdon Mission in South America proves again, if proof were needed, that this feeling does not exist only in the Empire

and the United States.

But at the same time it would be wrong and mislending

to think that these buyers are not also getting the best for them-

Felves.

Trade Into Planes

The President of the Board of Trade, in broadcast to North America, put the two aspects- goodwill and good business--very well when he said: "If you con tinue to buy and even to increase your demands for those British goods which you have been ae- customed to take and which, I believe you like to take, such things as woollens and worsteds, cottons and linens, leather goods, pottery, glass, I am sure you will

get value for money-you will certainly get delivery-and You will be helping as yet again to bring the whole of our national resources to bear to wi

win the war and win it quickly.

I don't want you to imagine that you are Alling the pockets of British mer- chants. You are putting into the sky an aeroplane, and we will man it with the best we have".

The vitality of our export trade in circumstances that might well have been expected to make it

between what can and cannot be usefully exported in wartime are well illustrated by a brief ex- amination of the 1940 returns of oversen trade.

There has been some con-impossible; and the differentiation fusion of thought on this point, and, partly on account of statements made about the need for economy of purchases In the sterling area and for saving shipping, some people, in the Dominions particularly, have wondered whether the "Buy British" slogan was still valid. It undoubtedly is. The men and women of the British countries overseas,

who have so notably shown their belief in the cause for which the Empire is fighting, can help that cause by sueri- fices in the economic field; they can avoid buying non- essentials outside the sterling area so that foreign exchange is conserved; but they can rest assured that British goods on sale in their mar- kets, whatever their class, would not be available there unless their export were as- sisting the war effort.

It is fairly obvious that shipping space la soved if the vessels re- turning Trom Britain go direct to the ports from which the imports we need are drawn. It is a waste of time, which comes to the same thing as space, if they have to deliver British exports to one port and then go on to another to pick up thela homeward

cargo. Thi elementary fact fortunately means that, on the whole more shipping space would be available, other things being equal, to those coun- tries from which we want supplies. On this ground alone, therefore, it will be seen that exports to the United States, for example, can be Increased with the, maximum ad- vantage.

Dollars Needed

Moreover, dollars are Britain's most urgent need to-day, va far as foreign exchange it concerned, and any export that provides them is particularly valuable. The effect may be indirect. For In- stance, an export

to one of the Dominions from Britain, which is necessary and which would have to be bought outside the sterling Area otherwise, clearly helpo There are neturally plexities in this huge business of controlling British trade to secure

other coin-

The group for chemicals, drugs, dyes and colours is the most re- markable instance of an increase, the total of £27,000,706 being £4,881,801 above the 1030 figure which itself was appreciably high- er than 1038,

It is not difficult to see that these British manufactures have been necessities for the importing countries, and have taken the place of chemicals formerly sup-

plied by Germany. But remem- bering that the industry has had to meet a big demand from the United Kingdom for wor purposes as well as more normal require- ments, this offers an example of what our factories can achieve even if they are in the front line".

Improvement

and

There are

other strikng stances of improvement. For example, the pottery, glass abrasives group was more than £2 million up last year, woollen and worsted yarns and manufactures the same, electrical

goods and apparatus, and manufactured olls and fats and resins very little less. Silk and artificial silk yarns and manufactures increased by £2 million and manufactures of other textile materials by over £1 million. The increase for paper and enrdboard nt well over 23 million was second only to that of the chemical group.

Jy

On the other hand, there were heavy falls in exports of machinery and vehicles of all kinds, and that needs no explanation. The fac tories producing this kind of pro- duct are mostly full time on wor work.

Raw material exports are als down heavily, particularly coal, in which the loss of European mar kets hos made a great

deal of difference, while shipping for such a relatively bulky cargo also pre- sents special dimeulties.

There was a small decrease In the total shipments of "food, drink and tobneco," but here it is note- worthy that the general reduction in this clsas-which was to be ex-. pected-has been offset to a con- siderable extent by a big rise in the value of beverages and preparations we have sent over.

To get a fair idea of the really remarkable way in which our business men have been fighting the economic war, it is necessary to make allowance for some of these items whose export has been Impossible in the usual quantity. Total exports last year lower in value by £20 million than they were in 1030. The de- crease in

raw materials and the two manufactured article groups I have mentioned-machinery and vehicles-account for a reduction of trade by about £30 millions, with another £0 million in the food, drink and tobacco

group and goods exported by parcel post. Taking into account these facts it Is clear that every industry that is able to make its contribution Inust have done so to the full.
