BRITISH GOODS
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Being English and observing witH much interest the "Buy Within the Em" pire campaign, I note particularly th* enormous quantity of foreign goods on eaSd m this country. Kecently in one of thS big shops I saw singlets'made in US A * silk-stockings made in U.S A corsets made in U.S.A., rubber aprons made ■ £ U.S.A., shoes made in U.S.A., but the crowning touch was supplied when I needed a pair of cotton gloves, for they were marked 'Made in Germany." Now, Sir Britain has to send huge' sums to W rica but America erects a high tiriff Mall against us, and then w. purchase her goods, while she takes little or nothing of
Wo must be foolish to allow so much o£ the pockets of other countries. Can notln mg be done about it? It would be inter, esting Hi you could spare a reporter to' make juquines of a leading shop .ana then.' publish a list of goods made byfoiSS couutnes. Perhaps, then, men and womlrt reahse the thousands of pounds going away from this country and doinc us no service whatever.—l am, etc., E.C.F
