EXCLUDE BRITISH.
Indian Government Forms New

Department.
Commercial Intelligence, Of London,
represents that the British public Is
almost startled because the Indian Gov
ernmcnt has formed a now department
OF commerce and labor. which has made
a move In the direction Of reserving
government contracts for Indian firms
and excluding British firms from, par
ticpatlng In them. In the year 1909
there were imported from Great Britain
by tho Indian Government stores to the
value Of sc5 100000. 1t Is argued that
as the Indian Government has taken the
first step toward excluding the British
manufacturer from participating In sup
plying the Indian Government It will re-
suit in cutting them off altogether.
At tho present, time British goods to
the value Of over s20oooO.ooo are nnnu-
ally exported to India and that dcpen-
dcncy constitutes Great Britnin's largest
market abroad The government Of India
has established n committee, ono OF
whose duties It is to report as to the
"advisabllity OF prescribing strict rules
requiring government officers to purchase
locally manufactured articles In all cases
where such articles are available and Of
calling upon them for M explanation
where these rules are transgrcssed." It
is thought that this may lead to the
practical exclusion OF British manufac-
lures altogether In time, excepting on
payment OF duty.
