BRITISH INDUSTRY
MANY PROBLEMS FACE IT. THE EXPORT TRADE. GOVERNMENT INQUIRIES MADE, (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 15. Tbo immediate problems in British trading industries turned uipon export trade, said tlie President oi the Board of Trade, the Rt. Hon. William Graham, in a speech at Edinburgh today. Coal exports were better than for some time, but. were well behind the pre-war totals.
One of the most difficult problems the Government bald to face was how to seemre that drastic internal re-organisa-tion that was required. How to maintain peace in industry, especially when the existing agreements began to expire in December of the present year, was another problem. Cotton, like iron and steel, would be the subject of immediate review by the Government, and in the course 'of a few days Mr Graham hoped to announce in Parliament what form these inquiries would take. There would foe no delay. The whole object was to, have a competent but. expeditious review and to use all material hearing on every aspect of the cotton, iron and. steel industries offered either by employers or trade unions whatever might be their view of the future organisation of the industries.
These steps were essential in schemes to restore the value of the home market and tcv give Britain renewed chances in the export market.
