British Industries Fair
The continued growth, year by year, of the British Industries Fair till it now fills two vast buildings in London and another at Birmingham, is fairly conclusive proof that our manufacturers and our customers front all over the world have benefited by it. The present Fair, with its twenty-seven miles of stalls, testifies to the resolute optimism of our people and shows that British enterprise.is very much alive, despite the depressing out- look. It is true, as the Prince of Wales said on Monday. that " no individual producer, no industry and no nation can command economic destiny single-handed." World trade can only revive through world co-operation. But if we must not expect too much even from this great dis- play of British manufactures of every kind, we have at least set an example to other countries and reminded them that salvation can only come through the growth of
trade all round. * * * *
