lection was outlined at recent
meeting Of one of the principal
manufacturing concerns in the mid
lands. British manufacturing inter-
ests are planning an association which
will not organize until one hundred
firms join and agree to deposit $1,000
each. Many important industrial
firms have already put their names
down for membership and their ag-
gregate capital totals S45O,O0O,OO0
The organization which will prob

exchange views, consult and decide on
a policy necessary to cope with after
war; trade conditions. The chairman
Of this particular meeting said that
the country generally was caught
Mapping in the matter Of national and
imperial security and safety and
were paying a pretty price for folly
and refusal to face facts. 1t was
therefore up to the trade Of the
country to be ready and prepared
for the new world and new conditions
which will have to be faced.
The new association will welcome
views from all sections Of trade and
hopes thai. all existing and kindred
associations will be connected more

Of bringing together into partnership,
for mutual good, capital and labor.
