THE TRADE COMMISSION.
BRITISH TRADE METHODS. [Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] Sydney, April 16. Ono of the most interesting features in. the evidence of the Trade Commission was the criticism to which British manufacturers were subjected by Mr Johnson, Chief Coommissioner of the New South Wales Railways and Tramways, who complained strongly of their apathy with regard to opportunities of trade with the overseas Dominions. For instance, he said that he had the greatest difficulty early in 1913 in getting a quotation for thirty thousand tons of rails, which, he declaired, was due to an arrangement to pool orders between English, American and Continental manufacturers of rails.
