of Britain sweeping the: board In the Olympic .Games,


| But at any , rate we have a good


chance .'Of winning the intfcri- qatlonal c h a m p i o n s h i p for


nationalisation losses, or at least topping the West European zone. France was first In the field,


scoring; In 1945 a loss on national!. Ised cdal mines of 16,000,000,006 francs. In 1946, the loss fell to 10,000,000,900 francs, but 1947 saw It recoverj to 22,700,000,000. These figures (all given J n the French ' Parliament recently by M. Rene Mayer, the : Finance Minister) show an aVera'ge loss of £20,000,006 a year. | ' [


j In Britain electricity was made


a State monopoly only on April 1st this yean I and Parliament had still to i, pass the ■ legislation nationalising the gas Industry. So we can’t- yet assess the size of the probable losses.


In Franco In 1947 gas and eleci


trlclty between them made a loss of £6,000,000..;


trived , to Bcdre' a ; loss of £15,000,000 a year on civil aviation It seenas probable th a t our total losses on nationalisation will, come out well ahead of those In France, But the unfortunate taxpayer


will find It a very expensive victory. -

' the Cotton Industry, set up by toe Chief Inspector of Factories to 1944, has recommended Im­


proved methods of ventilation by mechanical means, and a recent survey of Lancashire weaving she6s showed that- approximately 25 per cent, had ventilating systems up to the suggested standards. The remaining sheds are being encouraged to fall into line, though there is considerable difficulty at present to obtaining toe necessary plant.-, .
