“M. Maisky, the Soviet Ambassador, and members of the Russian Trade Delegation met the directors of the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation to celebrate the achievement of sending £50,000.000 of goods to meet the needs of the civil population of Russia. Britain has combed the world for these supplies. Indeed the traffic may have passed under the eyes of many of you who are listening —the lead from Australia, wool from New Zealand, nickel and aluminium from Canada, rubber and fine teas from Ceylon, jute from Calcutta, sisal from East Africa, hides and industrial diamonds from South Africa, palm oil and kernels from West Africa. The variety is astonishing and the resources of an Empire which can produce it a sure ■guarantee of victory.”—Sir Francis Joseph in a 8.8. C. Overseas Talk.
