BRITISH TRADE INCREASE
Not Due to Arms-Making PURELY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE British Official Wireless Service. RUGBY, Noy. 11. Suggestions that the steady improvement in the Home industries was attibutable to Britain’s accelerated defence measures were repudiated by the Minister of Labour, Mr Ernest Brown, in the House of Commons. Rearmament, he said, had hardly yet contributed to this state of affairs, which was mainly due to private enterprise. The special areas, except in South Wales, were growing smaller. Even in Jarrow unemployment had fallen from 7,G00 to 3,897. The remnants of the depression were mainly due to difficulties in the coal-export trade and efforts were being i made to overcome them.
