THE BRITISH APPREhENsIvE
Loss OF POSITION IN THE WORLDS
TRADE FEARED.
Failure: to Meet the Competition of
the United States and Germany
in the Last Few Years.

There is a large and ever-increasing num-
ber of thoughtful and weil-inforu1ed people
in Great Britain, who express the serious
belief that if radical changes do not come
about in the near future, the united king
dom will be relegated to the third position
in the ranks of the worlds trade and COM
merce.
This statement is made by United States
Consul Boyle, at Liverpool in his annual
reports, extracts from which have been
made public by the State Department. 1t
is conceded, says Consul Boyle, that IN
manufactures, Great Britain has, within the
last few years, failed to meet the compe-
tition of the United States and Germany
As to this, Mr.. Boyle says, the optimistically
inclined plead exceptional and marvellous
natural advanta ges as far as the United
States is concerned while as to Germany
fierce competition, the unsatisfactory imam
cial and commercial situation now prevail
ing in that empire is cited as an instance
of a country booming itself too rap1dly.
The cry of Something must be done!
says the consul, is going up from CONNER
cial bodies, political speakers, economic
writer's and from the newspapers. There
are fears expressed. says Mr.. Boyle, that,
even in the carrying trade, the supremacy
of Great Britain is threatened. When the
war in South Africa is over, it is stated
there is certain to be popular demand
for legislative action, and the indications
are that the British government Will be
compelled to devote itself to the more earn
est consideration of matters relating to the
trade and commerce of the country.

Demand for "Fafr Trade"

There is a strong sentiment among the
masses of Great Britain, it is stated, which
appears to be gaining strength, as time
goes on, in favor of bringing about what
has become popularity known as fair
trade" and which, says Mr.. Boyle, is moth
ing but reciprocity. Protection per Sc is
not very much advocated, but it is slgnlfl-
cant that many of the most widely circulat-
ed papers of Great Britain are now boldly
advocating policy of fair trade" or do
to others as they do to you.'' Against this
sentiment, however, says the consul, must
be set the national dislike to change-a
traditional respect amounting to reverence,
for the established institutions, of which
free trade is one of the most fundamental
In regard to educational reforms in the
united kingdom, Mr.. Boyle says that the
universally acknowledged inferiority Of
Great Britain to most of the leading ma
tions particularly the United States and
Germany, is given frequently as one of the
chief reasons why Great Britain Is being
outstripped in her manufactures. The sub
ject of education, he says, Is very thorny
one in England, owing principally to the
fact that there are two systems of man
agementAone the board school manage
ment (smilar to the American public school
SYSTEM, and the UNCONVENTIONAL manage
ment. Efforts are now being made by the
respective authorities to obtain uniformity
of methods and results, while raising the
standard at the same time.
