HUNDRED PER CENT. BRITISH
Negotiations on the "Hundred Per Cent. British Contents" principle in fabrics are proceeding in Manchester. The principle that the term "British made" shall only apply to cloth made from English yarns and woven and finished in Great Britain, remarks the "Manchester Guardian "Commercial," has been accepted by the Board of Trade, and the questions which are now being debated at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce are (a) how to draw up a workable system of certification by British chambers of commerce and (b) how to regulate procedure in Empire markets in the way cf providing a check for Customs authorities at the other end. Settlement of these various points takes time, and it is not expected that the new regulations on British cloth will be in force in Empire markets for another two months. The "Commercial" asks: "If watertight regulations on what is British cloth can be drawn up for British Empire countries, why should not the same be done in various foreign markets where (British fabrics enjoy special privileges? The countries envisaged include Denmark, Finland, Poland, Argentina, and others where British cloth enjoys« tariff, or quota advantages." .
