BRITISH INDUSTRIES.
A STEADY IMPROVEMENT. (United Press Association —Copyright.) LONDON, November 10. Suggestions that the steady improvement in home industries was attributable to Britain’s accelerated defence measures were repudiated by the Minister for Labour (Mr Ernest Brown), in the House of Commons. Rearmament, he said, had hardly yet contributed to this state of affairs, which was mainiy due to private enterprise. The special areas, except in South Wales, were growing smaller. Even in Jarrow, unemployment had fallen from 760(1 to 6897. The surviving depression was mainly because of difficulties in the coal export trade. Efforts were being made to overcome them. —British Official wireless.
