quite ajfbw of the remarks which were; made by] the right hon.

He talked about people owning]; their own houses, the trade gfadualiyl !golng away, and those people moving from that part of Lancashire to another! part of the country, and with all that' Ij entirely agree.

!I listened very carefully to the speech that trade.


' He spoke about the United States Trade'Agreement, and thefe, I think, he was righti I have heard in my own constituency that that trade agree- menti] is ( beginning to ,haye. some effect, although only on certain lines.


Then he spoke about the Argentine Trade Agr'eement, and there again I feel that that.agreement Is going to be of considerable help to the trade, because In It Is the “ spun woven, and finished In Britain i” Clause, which Is so essential to the cotton trade In Lancashire. As far as the India Agreement, which the right hon. gentleman mentioned. Is .concerned, It was a! very hard bargain ,but I feel that now that the cotton industry has realised what the position is vis-a-vis' India, It will try to do everything It:can: to Improve the trade with that country.
