Authorities estimate that it i the British people are to ira-1 port goods after the war on the j same soale as before the war they must export from 40 to 50 j percent more than they did be-1 fore the war. The principal commodities Imported by the United Kingdom arc food and raw materials for factories. Unless food comes in as before the standard of living twill go down. Unless such raw i materials as cotton come In as before British Industry slow down, exports slow down and things become worse. This necessity for more lm- ' ports than before the war arises I out of the price Britain has paid and is paying for the victory and freedom. Foreign Investments which In earlier times brought mUton of .pound In. Interest and dividends intb British pockets have been cashed In to pay for war materials abroad States will enter a multilateral trade system the British government has made no comment.

Hard times came in the period between the wars when tariffs, restrictions and currency fluctuations became common. It was during this period that Britain turned from a policy of giving equal opportunity to all in the British market to preferenUal tariffs for Empire countries and said to be grave. The Chinese have met the Invaders at Shiwan, eight miles northeast of Hengshang. The Japanese are now advancing along a 60-mlle front from fallen Changsha.
