In engineering especially we are tar ahead of ali rivals, and in the ini’kinir of machinery Britain again holds the load. Last year the value of _ machinery exported from Great Britim am on nted to more than £28.000.(100. Germany, our greatest riyal, falls, some eight millions short, while in cotton goods we export more than seven times ns much as they do. and three, tunes as much wool 'duff. More biscuits pre made in Britain than in any ot.ior rovntry in the world, nnd eight t*rre« ns much jam is exported every year n- from all the ether European countries put together. ‘Th.* list could ho extended. Imt The more one inquires the iwert* certain ar--> the proofs that both for quantity ami quality Britain is an easy first.
