BRITAIN'S RECOVERY
PRODUCTION SPEED-UP BIG 1946 OBJECTIVE LONDON, Jan. 29. Britain’s exports for December of £43,500,000 were the highest in 1945, said the President of the Board of Trade, Sir Stafford Cripps, at a press conference. Illustrating the speed-up in production, he said that of 40,000 radio sets made to the end of November, more than 21,000 were produced in November alone. Much work in recent months had been taken up by the switch-over. The President of the Board of Trade recalled that Britain’s export target is a 50 to 70 per cent increase on the 1938 export figure by the end of this year.
