He replied.that he had already said on more than one occasion that the only real and permanent remedy for unemployment lay in the extension of our trade both at Home and abroad. It was the Government's policy to encourage by every means in its power the development of our export trade. With this end in view he was -in constant touch with representative: of various industries in order to ascertain from them what were their difficulties and in what way the Government could properly help. Apart from his efforts in connection with tho steel trade, ho had already met representatives of the motor, ship building, and electrical trades, and he hoped, as opportunity offered, to meet representatives of many other industries.
