BRITISH PREPARE
TRADE LOSS CURE
Will Issue 7OO-Page Survey
of Conditions in All
Sections.
By the Associated Press.

by the AseOclateQ frest
LONDON, July 15.-The govern
ment committee on industry and
trade is about to issue a 700-page sur
vey of the whole field of British over
seas markets and trade. dealing with
every conceivable aspect.
The volume is devoted less to max
ing recommendations than to supply
ing information on which to base
judgments or formulate remedies for
the admitted loss of British trade
since the war.
On the subject of tariffs the com
mittee expresses the opinion that
while tariffs are doubtless an i'm
portant obstacle to the flow of inter
national trade, it appears that, taking
British trade as a whole, the tariff in
creases instituted since 1913 have not
been an important factor in retarding
the recovery of British trade.
The committee also emphasizes the
harmful effect on trade of import pro-
hibitions and restrictions and the null
tiplication of customs formalities, and
advocates expediting general ratiflca-
ton of the international convention
for the reduction and simpiification OF
customs formalities. The committee
deprecates the modern tendency of ma
tions to give preferential treatment to
national shipping as injurious to in
ternational commerce.
Under the heading state Control or
Monopoly" the committee indicates
