THE REAL DEVASTATED AREA.
“Where it is a question of British exports to France and the sale or the products of British labour the picture
is sombre. Tariffs and restrictions operate against British goods in the I'lviieh market, Government facilities and subsidies increase French competition in other markets. France’s commercial policy is anything hut haphazard, and evidently the place to meet'French competition now is in the neutral market. There, however, the French, start with two important advantages—a consistent policy of commercial treaties and ;i labour equipment working at a price with which lor various reasons British labour ims so far been mmole to compete. One might conclude Chat the real devastated area was the whole field of Bri'isli trade, and that we and not France and Belguim were the worst victims of the war”—“lie Times” (London).
