BRITISH INDUSTRY.
PREMIER DISCUSSES POSITION,
(Per Press Association Copyright.) LONDON,. December 1. Mr Lloyd George,- speaking at a meeting of* the Federation of British Industries, said it was. helpful to meet organised business [men and labourites. He,would rather meet, organised than disorganised labour. There was no doubt that a time of serious _ depression was coming.. Europe; was like a man in' rags and /tatters standing, before our, \y ell-stocked windows.- '-. Europe's pockets were full of paper money, but could not pay for what it wanted. • It was essential that our customers should regain their prosperity. The Government did not desire to interfere with trade. The less interference there was the better. It was also essential to cut down public* expenditure to a minimum consistent with national security and .efficiency, but economy should not be made a means for'discrediting the Government. "I am convinced," he said, ''that the strength of Britain will sustain us in passing through the struggle ahead."
