BOOSTING OVERSEAS TRADE
British Preparations (Received October 19, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 19. Nearly 1000 commercial travellers, many of whom are executives, left Britain in the past three months to open up post-war markets for British goods, says the “Daily Express” correspondent after interviewing the Secretary of the Department of Overseas Trade, Mr. Harcourt Johnstone. They have gone to 26 countries throughout the world outside Europe. Red tape has been cut out and priority passages arranged. Mr. Johnstone said: “Our manufacturers are going to have as many orders as we can deal with.” The Department of Overseas Trade is developing a system of collaboration between business men aud the State, under which the business man goes for his own orders and tightens up his own productive marketing machinery, while the State helps with labour and materials and provides the latest information on the condition of the overseas markets.
