STATE ACTION URGED.
BRITISH MEMORANDUAL LONDON. Jan. 20. The Federation of British Industries, in a memorandum to the Board of Trade, urges stronger Government action against subsidised competition from other countries, especially Germany. Tho memorandum points out that the board’s suggestion for an industrial agreement between competing countries will never achieve the object desired unless the Government possesses powers enabling it to penalise any country refusing to make a reasonable arrangement with British exporters.
The memorandum adds that abnormal methods of competition on the part of foreign countries, especially Germany, may well necessitate Britain adopting wide, unprecedented defensive measures.
