A WISE INDUSTRIALIST
BRITAIN’S industrialists are by
tradition enterprising. Despite all
our natural advantages which helped
to make possible Britain’s rise to indus-
trial supremacy in the nineteenth century,
it is sometimes forgotten that that rise
could not have taken place without
ability, enterprise and energy. Those
qualities have been carried down to the
industrialists of to-day, with enterprise...”

already reached the limits of prudence.
A further addition might have unfavour-
able consequences, even if for the time
being producing a larger yield. And the
possible range of new taxes is now
severely circumscribed. It would not be
surprising if the two standbys of all Chan-

It is thought that after the Anglo-Soviet
Iran Treaty has been signed Iran may join
the sterling group. It will be recalled that
recently Iraq, whose currency is based on
sterling, joined the group, and in view of
Iran’s relations with the Allies the move
would greatly simplify commercial trans-
actions.
The British Army is now spending very
large sums in Iran on labour and the main-
tenance of the British Forces, and Iran is
feeling the benefit in an increased pros-
perity. Iran’s immediate need is access to
new markets, for up to the time of the
German attack on Russia a considerable
trade was being transacted with Germany.
