ANGLO-EGYPTIAN TRADE
MUTUAL ADVANTAGES. MISSION SAILS TO STUDY DEVELOPMENT. V . RUGBY, .Janaury 31. The British Trade Mission to Egypt, consisting ol Fir Arthur BaHoi.'r, Sir; Allan Henderson, Mr W. A. Blair, director of the Co-operative WholesalSociety. Ltd., arid Mr ’Kenneth Lee. left London to-day. All are recognised authorities on industrial questions and have served on various Government committees dealing with trade and industry.
The mission is due to arrive at Port Said cm February 11. and will study the conditions of Anglo-Egyptian trade with a view to stimulating mutual trade, which is alrcadv of .considerable
proportions. Sir Arthur Balfour, in a statement which he made before leaving, said that from the study they had already made, they were convinced that developments would take place in' the future between the trade of the two countries. “When the great Egyptian irrigation schemes have been completed when the world returns to its normal
economic condition and when the price of raw cotton rises, the prosperity of Egypt must surely increase and further great commercial expansion take place; The Unitetd Kingdom is Egypt’s la's*/ market, and we are the chief supplier of her imports. Surely that is the soundest- possible basis for the development of trade.
