The Committee on Trade and Industry which was appointed a
year ago by the Labour Government has 'issued a preliminary volume of its Report. It deals with the most important subject of all—the overseas markets. Sir Arthur Balfour, the Chairman of the Committee, and his colleagues have evidently worked extremely hard and have covered a large field. It is hoped to publish within a few months another volume treating of the relations between employers and employed in the various industries and to publish a third and last volume next spring on industrial efficiency. A satisfactory feature of the first volume is that it does not present a conflict of opinions, but is signed by all the members of the Committee. The contents dare classfied methodically, and every trader or manufacturer may well turn to it as a kind of Bible for his enlighten- ment. He will find here much information about possible markets abroad.
