NEED SEEN TO CONCENTRATE EMPIRE RESOURCES
Received Priday, 10.15 a.m. LONDON, October 6. The concentrations of the resources and productive efforts of the British Commonwealth of Nations would constitute perhaps the biggest single positive step forward in Britain's progress towards economic recovery, said the president of the National Farmers' Union, Sir James Turner, addressing a meet-> ing of farmers at Cheltenham tonight. He said that many people still imagined Britain might again command every source of bargain priced food, but that was a delusion. Exporting nations, some of whom were now Britain's creditors, were not voluntarily going to sell to Britain at less than the cost of production, as they had done previously to meet their debts. Sir James added that the vital investment that Britain had to make was capital expenditure on the development of land in the United Kingdom.
