Sir Robert Horne, the prominent industrialist and one-time Chancellor of the Exchequer, expressed himself as being optimistic as to the future of the coal industry in a speech at Cardiff, where a new railway station has been constructed and the docks remodelled. He said that there were opportunities for development of the coal trade which were only begininning to be realised and he was confident that it would come into its own a,gain. He referred to schemes now being developed on a large scale in the North of England for extracting oil from coal by hydrogenation and declared his faith in the low temperature carbonisation process, which lie suggested should be seriously tried out in South Wales. There was also, he said, a great future for pulverised coal, both in land and ship furnaces.
