at the expense Of home needs In order
10 meet the drain on British resources
overseas, the high standing Of British
pottery in overseas markets was an
important factor and even today some
exports are still allowed for this pur-
pose where they do not interfere with
the overall wartime mobilization
plans.
The high quality Of design Of Wedg-
wood and the other pOtters of the early
days of the industry has been main
tanned and been adapted to the de-
mandS of today. The modern products
rely for their beauty on simplicity and
pure form and their quality of texture
and color. All unnecessary ornament
has been eliminated. This functional
ism has been carried Il stage further
since the war in the production of
utility ware" For instance, cups are
made without handes--;ls the Chinese
have always made them-thereby say
ing time and manpower and making
them easier to stack and therefore
less likely TO break
Industry Still A Graft"

to date, with modern power houses and
transformers capable of raising the
power within Il few minutes to half Il
million volts, still remains essentially

;,f, =,
Though in the cheaper branches of the
trade more and more is done by ma
chnery, the element of craft, of work
demanding personal skill and quick
judgment, still remains. The workers
themselves need great skill for their
jobs and are obviously very happy in
their work, which is with Il basic,
natural material and which satisfies Il
fundamental human desire to create.
The workers are apprenticed for as
long as seven years, the Older ones
having been potters all their lives
and their fathers and grandfatherS be-
fore them. The firms of Wedgwood,
Adams, and Spode are still carried on
by members of the family, and most
of the smaller businesses are family
affairs in which the employer is ac-
quainted with his wOrkpeOple.
Labor troubles are very rare in the
pottery industry, which has had no
ma jor strikes since 1900, and only one
sectional strike since then in 1908.
Since 1913, the labor unions have been
federated into the National Society of
Pottery Workers, and, in addition. in
duStrial harmony has been maintained
by an active Joint Industrial whit
ley) Council covering the whole in
duStry. Apart from the usual func-
tiOns, the Council engages in research
on all matters affecting the progress
of the industry, and manufacturers
submit to it all statistics on profits,
capital, earnings, and labor matters.

"The POtteries" In The War
The Potteries have played an impOr-
tant part in the war effort. Though
not an essential industry for war pur-
poses, il was found possible to adapt
many of their furnaces for use by the
steel industry, and when the demand
for armour-piercing steel for anti-tank
guns could not be met by the existing
furnace capacity of the steel industry,
the use of these pottery kilns was Il
definite factor in solving an acute
shortage problem.
Equally important was the contribu-
ton of pottery to the essential task of
earning dollars abroad to pay for war
imports. Before Lend-LeaSe when
