Sir Montague Barlow said on Tuesday that the three direct
lines of Government effort were (1) unemployment insurance; (2) trade development; (3) relief schemes. New expenditure was to be undertaken to the extent of about £50,000,000 on productive work of which the chief items were (1) roads and bridges, 14 millions; (2)Unemployment Grants Committee, 10 millions ; (3) Trade Facilities, 12 millions ; (4) railway works, 10 millions. Among the schemes which came under the head of Trade Facilities were new ships, and the undertakings of the North Wales Power Company, of Messrs. Tata's Company in India, and of the Tube Railway Companies. Sir Montague repeated, with less vehemence, what Sir William Joynson- Hicks had said about German steel. The Government, he stated, were alive to the danger of such dumping and " would take steps to deal with it if necessary."
