BRITISH BUYING OVERSEAS
ORDERS REACH HUGE TOTAL HELPING PROSPERITY OF FOREIGNERS (BRITISH OrriCIAI, WIBELISS.) RUGBY, February 22. Owing to the pressure of other du ties, the Prime Minister was unable t( speak at the Government dinner ti mark the opening of the British In dustries Fair, and' Lord Derby, whi took his place, spoke from Mr Cham berlain’s notes. “In the early days of our industria development,’’ he said, “the Govern ment played but a minor part in it activities, but in more recent times wi have had to realise that industry lef to itself, however efficiently organ ised and carried on, cannot create o: maintain the conditions necessary fo: successful operation. Only govern ments can deal with other govern ments, and to an increasing extent th< actions of governments to-day regu late the direction and volume o trade. “I cannot too often emphasise tin fact that confidence is the mainsprinj of progress and prosperity everywhere and conversely, uncertainty and feai for the future produce recessions anc slumps as inevitably as night followi day. For the Government of thi! great trading country it must alwayi be of prime importance to promote peace, not for ourselves alone, but foi all with whom we trade.” Referring to the 1931 change in fisca policy , Lord Derby said: r 'lt canno be charged against Britain that shi throttled foreign trade. Last year th< value of our imports was £180,000,001 sterling more than the year before, anc amounted to more than £1,000,000,000 Of that huge sum £620,000,000 came from foreign countries, whose prosperity and employment were thus fostered by the improvement in our owr industrial conditions. “We are looking forward hopefullj to the outcome of the negotiations fo: an Anglo-American trade treaty, in the belief that if it is successful, it maj not only benefit our two countries, bui may serve to stimulate further expansion of the international exchange of goods.” CARGO REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS SUCCESS CLAIMED FOR NEW METHOD “ACCURATE CONTROL - POSSIBLE” (from ovb own correspondent.! LONDON, February 2. Satisfaction with a new system of refrigeration installed with modifications in most new ships in the New Zealand and Australian trade, is expressed in the annual report of the British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The new method, which was developed at the Ditton Laboratory of the department, is known as the During the. year, the report states, arrangements were made for officers of the department to sail in some of the ships so equipped to examine its practical working. The basis of the investigation had to be wide since the system involved changes in the method of carriage of all the ships’ refrigerated cargoes frozen, including butter, cheese, frozen meat, chilled meat in lias storage, pears, and apples. In the tests some 350 electrical resistance thermometers spaced throughout the cargo were used. The full data obtained from the expedition are under detailed consideration, but the indications are that the new system is working very satisfactorily. In the great bulk of a stack of 50,000 cases of apples the temperature was uniform within half a degree Fahrenheit. Moreover, with the new system 3000 more cases can be carried than with normal storage. The report points out that at the present time the margin of uncertainty In specifying the best temperature for a mixed cargo of apples is about 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus the precision of control possible in the refrigerated space aboard ship has come abreast or even surpassed the precision demanded by biological definition.
