Abstract

The Perversity of British Trade
February 8, 1912 issue

add to cart   close window

Trade figures for 1911 continue the tale of disappointment for those who, some years ago, were so industriously building up a case for protection in England. England, they saw plainly, had entered on the down-hill path; she might hold her own for a while, but she had evidently reached the stationary stage, while German trade was forging ahead by leaps and bounds. If Great Britain was to continue to hold up her head at all, she must join the procession of the protectionist countries whose rejection of the outworn fetich of free trade had paved the way to their national greatness.
