RECOVERY OF INDUSTRIES
DEPRESSION BEING PASSED NEWCASTLE CONGRATULATED KING’S PRAISE OF COURAGE British Official Wireless. Rugby, Oct. 10. In the course of his visit to Newcastle, where he opened the magnificent new road bridge over the River Tyne, the King made reference to the grave industrial depression of the district in more than one speech. Replying to one address of welcome, he expressed grief that owing to the dislocation of trade by the war the industries of eoal, iron, steel and shipbuilding, which had given world-wide renown to the River Tyne, had been struggling with adversity. He was happy to observe that the dauntless handling of these difficulties was achieving results. Already the coal industry of the north and the shipbuilding of the Tyne appeared to be emerging from their depression. “The erection of the new bridge,” added the King, “is a characteristic act of courage and demonstrates your belief in the power of these industries to recover lost trade and to play again their former proud role in the world’s markets.”
