Safeguarding This, of course, leaves Safeguardinzmore or less where it

was: It is trueiliat access to the-tribunal will be much easier, but no industry will be able to: make good its claim unless- it can prove, for one thing, that a Safeguarding duty would 1nOt injure other' industries: The test ease in the popular estimation is rightly the iron and steel industry. It is not a single industry but a congeries of industries whose finished products are the raw material of many other industries. We 'cannot help thinking that if the iron and steel industry could really convince the tribunal the door would be open to general PrOtection. As long as that does not happen Mr. Baldwin is entitled: to draw a distinction between Safeguarding and Pro- tection in the ordinary sense.
