BRITISH EXPORTS
FEAR OF POST-WAR DIFFICULTIES.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 5.
Mr G. W. Odey, chairman of the leather industries export group, who returned from a visit to the United States and Canada, issued a statement in which he said that Britain’s fight 1 to preserve an export industry had reached a crisis. Mr Odey said he feared the Government might kill or cripple the export trade to satisfy American opinion. The Government had hitherto encouraged exports in order to obtain dollar exchange, but the programme of lease-lend to Britain had resulted in a difference of opinion concerning this policy. Britain would pay too high a price for American help, if she jeopardised her position in postwar reconstruction.
