NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY
PRINCE OF WALES OPTIMISTIC BEST SPEECH OF JIIS CAREER By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. lieceived 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. WE have sat long in the sombre darkness of post-war depression, and have been deluded more than once by what proved to he only a false dawn. We have learned to mistrust the prophets. Heaven forbid that,l should prophesy, but we have never lost hope; we held on, grinned and bore it, and we may be now going to get our reward.”
JN what is agreed to be the best speech of his career, the Prince of Wales sounded this note of optimism at a banquet of the Birmingham Jewellers’ and Silversmiths’ Association. He said that recent trade returns show that despite black spots on the business horizon, and the handicap under which we started work at the
end of 1926, when many of the markets were temporarily lost, we really wiped out all the deficit, and started on the up-grade again. 1 Employers and employed had come to see that their fundamental interests in large production and thriving trade were the same. The meeting at Burlington House gave the strongest reason to hope that a new era of prosperity was opening.
