British Consumers Now
Are Rising in Protest
Against Embargo List

iup under the Craftsmanship Of Lord
Fmmott, who was the competent di-
rector of the War Trade department
in l2l5. But pressure was brought
to bear by certain important manu-
facturers upon Sir Albert Stanley,
president of the board of trade, and
he agreed to enlarge this advisory
committee by adding OF it certain
manufacturers representatives, Gre
ating thereby what Sir Auckland
Geddes wittily described as "a jury
structure OF protection" Lord En-
mott promptly resigned his chair
manship, declaring he would have
no hand in any biased dictation on
the subject of import restrictions.
Manufacturers in Control.
The enlarged Import Consultative
Council remains, however, with the
following personnel:
Chairman, Sir Samuel Hoare, M.
P, and eleven members four OF
whom are members of (parliamenD
appointed by the Board OF Trade,
one member nominated by the
Treasury five by the Association of
Chambers of Commerce. five by the
Federation of British Industries, two
bv the National Union of Manufac
turers, four-two employers and two
workers-chosen by the ministry OF
labor to represent Whitley Coun-
ellis, one by the Association of Trade
Protection Societies, two by the Par
liamentary Committee of the Trade
Unions Congress, and one by the
parliamentary committee OF the Co.
operative Congress.
Quite two-thirds of the committee
are manufacturers The merchant
ing and distributive interests have
but a small minority voice, while the
consumer. only comes in indirectly
through the Government and La Dor
nomipees. This misrepresentation
of directs interests was the chief
reason of Lord Emmott's resigna-
ton.
The first step the council took
was to divide itself into five sub
committees, each covering a group
of Observation-Disclosures and apparel,
glass and leather, motor cars and
manufactures of wood, machinery
and hardware, fancy goods and mis-
celaneous. Members directly con-
cerned in cotton and wooden manu-
facture were put on the textiles sub
committee.
At the opening session of this re-
modelled board Mr. Bridgman, par
liamentary secretary of the Board OF
Trade, suggested that any commit
tee man particularly interested in an
import under discussion might give
his advice, but be forced to with
hold his vote. But the council dis
missed this suggestion as unneces-
sary and impracticable.
Wherefore, every standard indus
try at all likely to suffer from tor
eign competition now has a man at
court to make its own special plea
for protection. Recommendations of
each subcommittee, reached after
Mr.. Committeeman Blank, repre-
senting the Manchester spinners,
has had his say and cast his vote, go
before the full council for final &C
ceptance and by that body they are
passed on to the president OF the

Here is protection such as Amer,

never dreamed of obtaining in the
days of their most fragrant rapaclty.

tinued Mr.. Gillian, for it is certain

has set in with new energy.
Mr.. Gillian has lived in Omaha
more than a third of a century, and
discussing the progress made dur
ing that time in the development Of
transportation pointed to some OF
the things that have happened, say
ing:
Thirty years ago there was not
an electric street car in Omaha and
for that matter, none in the United
States.
Thirty years ago only the most
prosperous of the merchants felt
that they could afford telephones.
Now 20 family can do without one

Thirty years ago the automobile
had not been dreamed of. Now
they are much more common than
horse teams.
Thirty years ago we read Jules
Verne's book, a Trip to the Moon,
and laughed over it because we
considered it such a wild tale, the
writer not having been hampered
with facts.
Nov all the things | have men-
toned have become necessities, even
to the flying machine, But getting
back to the problem OF the air
freight line. 1t is not dream. just
the other day one of these big
freighters winged its way across
from England, all of which shows
the possibility of their utility as
vehicles for handling business in ane
out of the cities of this country.
Inside of FIVE years expect to
see regular air line freight service
between Omaha and Chicago, Oma
ha and Denver and dozen of lines
operated out from Omaha, serving

London, June 2l.-Which is more
important to the necessities of the
average English households: A nice
wild animal, such as a dikdik from
Uganda-say, or baby jaguar from
Yucatan, or sound American cotton
hosiery underwear and solid Ameri-
can shoes:
This question is raised by the &C
ton of the Imports Consultative
Council in recommending to the
board of trade lifting on import
restrictions upon wild animals and
fresh flowers, while at the same time
sanctioning the addition OF cotton
hosiery and underwear to the list
OF prohibited imports. That certain
of the Council personnel are them
selves manufacturers of competing
underwear has, perhaps, its instruc-
tive moral
American manufa cturers have had
much to say-and some have said it
stridently-about the growing Brit
ish embargo list. But now public
opinion in Britain itself is becoming
reused to some of the activities of
the board of trade and its advisory
Imports Consultative Council; for it
has begun to sink in upon the Brit
ish consumer that he's dancing to
the tune that's being played to please
the British manufacturer.
While home products are being
protected" against the rapacity of
American would-be exporters by the
imposition of the embargo, the Eng
, 1ish householder is paying three
prices for the clothes his family
need, for some of the food they eat
and for the furnishings of the home.
. He's paying protection to his own
manufa cturers and he's just begun
to discover that fact
No Sign of Change.
Though just yesterday the govern
ment lifted the embargo on exports
and declared that the war black list
against suspected enemy firms would
no longer be operative, the power of
prohibition and rationing of imports
still remains with the Board of
X Trade, and there is no sign of any
change of pociy
The import of several hundred
classes of goods, ranging from lux
uries like ornamental feathers and
perfumes to hosiery, wooden goods,
boots and shoes, is now either strict
ly prohibited or meagerly rationed
under licenses" And not a week
passes but what the Board of Trade
Journal announces new additions to
the prohibited list.
The Englishman, welded to the
principle of free trade, now begins to
see that the protection rose under
whatever name smells odious. Each
of the hundreds of restrictions is de
Tended by its sponsors on the ground
that indiscriminate admissions OF
foreign goods at this critical period
of war Reorganization will throw
British workers out OF employment
and ruin manufacturers.
The manner whereby decisions as
to restrictions are arrived at, as well
as the effect of the restrictions
themselves, has now begun to en-
gage the attention of Britalns. They
are wondering how large part the
self-interest OF British manufacture
ers themselves is playing in the pro-
scription of foreign goods.
When, after the armistice, the
government decided to inaugurate a
system of protection through EN-,
barge, it entrusted the revision OF
restrictions to a small committee SCI
