LABOUR AND CAPITAL
EJERHAPS it is because of the optimism
'• which is now stirring the United
Nations—an optimism which may be
justified by results but must not lead us

discussion about industry is turning from
war production to organisation after the
war.

“...imports of

the Turkish Government has raised the
embargo on the export of timber, thus
enabling us to supply Middle East
countries with this commodity without
having to utilise shipping space.
Middle East Trade
The wide range covered by the
Corporation in the Middle East can be

concerned with Syria, Palestine, Iraq,
Persia, Transjordan, Cyprus, Egypt, the
Sudan, Saoudi Arabia, Somaliland,
Aden, Ethiopia and East Africa.
The Board of the Corporation in
Cairo is now engaged in finding out the
import requirements of these countries
for the next half-year and the commodi-

only essential repair parts will be sent to
the Western Hemisphere.
Arrangements have been made to ship
as many bicycles as possible to South
Africa, India and New Zealand. The
other parts of the British Commonwealth
will also receive some, while the require-
ments of the territories served by the
Middle East Supply Council, which in-
clude Egypt, Persia, Iraq, Lebanon,
Palestine, Syria and Transjordan, will
not be overlooked.
Also in the oversea field good progress
has been made by the British Match
Corporation. It was stated by Sir
Clarence E. Bartholomew, Chairman and
Managing Director of the Company, at
the recent general meeting, that the
trading results of subsidiary and asso-
ciated companies, at home and overseas
had been satisfactory.
A well-known firm of steel manufac-
turers in the north of England informs
