the British Paridente deling Pain Enemy ENGLISH bill was to come befor SPANISH public The British Government intentions with regard to saleguarding, or protecting, British industries which may be suffering from abnormal competition, have taken definite sbape.
There is to be no new Sale guarding of Industries Bm. The Board of Trade bas set up Machinery by which the claims of various industries will be heard, and it as a resolt of full quiries the Board recommends the imposition of duties on competing imports, such duties will be included in the Budget proposals for the year, and will of course be debated in the House of Commons.
Bet hele But before any industry can hope to succeed in getting a taritt imposed upon foreign products which compete with its owo wares, it bas to prove great many things. It has first of all to satisfy the Board of Trade that it has a prima facie OaseIf it does ibis, then its case is to be heard by. Com mittee, to whose satisfaction 11 has to prove that it is efficient; that it is of substantial importance that competitive foreign goods are belog impor:ed in abnormal quantities; that these imports bre causing unemployment bere; and tbat they come from c010tries where they are made under conditions that make the competilton uniair; and toally that the imposition of a duty will not stusiy aliect employment in BE any other industry by which the Kouds in question are used.
Here obviously is net work ol coudkuions, through which no large number of industries can bope to pass successfully.
Foreign centres may there fore banish from their miods the idea that anything in the bature of a general tarid, or iodeed, import duties in any quantities are contemplared, or even possible, under the new system at any rate in the near Future. Of course a great deal will depend upon the spirit in which the new system is luterpreted by those who have to work it, and much also on the personnel of the Committee which bears the various claims, wbies are cartain to be pre.
sented in large numbers. But the regulations, quite clearly, have been deliberately framed so as to confine the opportunity of securiog protocolon to industries labouring under very exceptional circumstacces. It 18, indeed, difficult ottban, to date Roy important industry that is really able to satisfy all the conditions laid dowo. There is much talk of the steel industry in this connection. The steel industry might indeed pass many of the tests.
pot possibly be said that an import duty on steel would not affect employment in other industries. For there is a very Important manufacturers who depend on tirely upon cheap iron snd steel for thelr ability to bold their own both in the bome and international market. The Primo Minister appears therefore to be fully justified in his claim that he has kept his pledge not to introduce anything in the nature of tariff, and protectionists chafe at tbe limitations imposed by that pledge, free tradersthough naturally suspicious of the proposers are not really afraid that many goods will be added to the dutiable list.
Agricultural products, be understood, are explicitly ruled out of the scope of the new proposals.
The long awaited and longpredicted trade revival still terries. Bankers tell of accu.
mulated evidence of the advent of better times But there is.
nevertheless, no very perceptible movement Moreover there is the growing tear that, before trade expansion can set in, Great Britain will be face to lace with Libour troubles. If tbe impend.
ing wage revisions on the railways and in the coal mines can not be achieved without recourse to strikes, the process of Economic recovery may be indefinitely retarded. This fear in itselt is a factor tending to check enterprise. Nor does it now appear so likely, as it did a month or two ago, that substantial remision of taxation will be possible in the next budget.
