Sir Robert Horne emphasised that but for Dominion and colonial trade the existing economic uosition of Britain would be infinitely worse, and the balance of trade worse than it had Deen at any previous time. Mr. Lloyd George, Leader of the Liberal Party, urged the necessity for British merchants having good agents in the Dominions. “We lose heavily,” he said, “in the sale of motors because during the war the best agents were captured bv America.” Sit Philip Cunlift'e-Lister, President of the Board of Trade, said British manufacturers must hunt out buyers. “If firms,” he said, “cannot afford individual selling agents abroad, should combine and form a British selling agency. A combination for representation abroad must be good business.”
