British Vice-Consul Tells
Problems Facing England
Norman H. prlckett, British
Vice-consul with headquarters in
Portland, was a recent visitor to
Klamath Palls where he conferred
with resident Britons, visited sev
eral schools and in general made
himself available to answer ques
tions regarding British viewpoints
and policy.
Prlckett issued the following stale
ment while visiting in the city:
With a population ot fifty mil
lions crowded Into an area only
one third the size of Oregon the
United Kingdom could not practise
self-sufficiency, even If its people
wanted to do so. Our farmers pro
duce about half of the country's
food supplies, and the rest, together
with all the raw materials needed
for Industry, (except coal), have
to be Imported. To pay for these
Imports, the country depends in
the main, upon exports of manu
factures, and to a smaller but nev
ertheless important extent, upon
the foreign exchange earned by

eial services abroad. These serv
ices' Include shipping, insurance,
banking, civil aviation, and the
loan of capital for investment
overseas.
Now, all these matters are, in
the long run, part and parcel of
our problem of balancing our over
seas payments. This has been our
chief aim since the war, and with
in the framework of that problem,
we have of course had to balance
our dollar payments. It was, there
fore, a matter of satisfaction to all
concerned, that world trading con
ditions in 1953 were more stable
than they had been in the previous
two years. The boom. In world
trade which followed the outbreak
of the Korean War had spent it
self by the spring of 1952, but
fortunately the volume of world ex
ports rose in the first half of 1953.
This gradual revival of trade in

1953. followed In the wake of an
increase in world industrial activ
ity, and again fortunately, this
rise did not lead to any increase
in commodity prices, m fact, these
continued to fall, right into 1053.
PRODUCTION
The increased production in the
United Kingdom provided us with
the resources to maintain our ex
ports at a high level and to in
crease consumption and invest
ment at home. This in turn showed
itself in more food consumption,
greater ..variabilities of goods hith
erto reserved mostly for export,
m a much higher rate of home
construction, and in heavy. Invest
ment in the basic industries. Yet
another striking development has
been the eliding of all war-time
controls.
Commodity markets have been
re-opened and importing restorea
to private hands, with freedom to
purchase in most oases, without
quota restrictions and without cur
rency restriction as to source.
In recounting the above in some
detail. I have endeavoured to show
you something of the background
which has proved so favourable for
our long-term aim. This is to find
a solution of our difficulties which
will assure the strength and vital
ity of our currency and, in the pro
cess, secure the needs of the or
dinary man, sure employment, dig
nified standards of living, and the
opportunity for advancement.
FREE TRADE
We shall continue unremittingly
with pur cflorts toward freeing
trade, and freeing the currencies.
We realise that you on your part
are pursuing similar aims, and
that today a very great number of
Americans are In favour of the
liberalisation of trade policies. One
very great achievement that al
leady stands to your credit is the
fact that you have prevented a re
cession, maintained your economic
activity at a high level, and thus
prevented those serious conse
quences which would have result
ed from a serious economic set
back in so great and powerful an
economy. By the same token you
have eliminated the persistent bog
ey of dollar shortages abroad.
Despite your programmes of dol
lar expenditures abroad,' however.
there is as yet no satisfactory long
term solution of America's under
lying payments surplus, which has
now lasted 30 years. This surplus
has been offset first, by invest
ment; then by gold transfers, and
then by aid and by military ex
penditures. We believe you feel as
we do however, that the balance of
payments between your country
and the rest of the world should
owe more to the firmly rooted and
natural processes of trade, com
merce and investment, and should
be less dependent uoon special
programmes, which are really ab
normal in nature and subject to the
chances and changes of time, and
perhans of politics,
RELATIONSHIP
We aim at a solidly based eco
nomic relationship between us,
feeling that our 'one-world' must
rest upon secure foundations. This
means in effect that we seek more
opportunities to EARN more dol
lars, and would like to see the
same opportunities for others,
since a flow of freely expendable
dollars to any part of the world,
benefits the whole of it. To sum
marise, we retain high hopes for
the future, especially as we know
lhat the versatility of British in
dustry has been strikingly demon
strated in the development since
the war of many new types of exports-
which previously played lit
tle or no part In our trade.
Aircraft, radar equipment, agri
cultural tractors, office machinery
and petroleum products, are all
examples'of this development,
while our motor industry also af
fords a notable Illustration of the
possibilities of export expansion.
At tne same time, we have man-
aged to maintain the reputation we
have established in the more tra
ditional nnes.i
In the overall view of our joint
activities throughout the world, we
feel there is little doubt of our
ability to constantly Improve the
lot, not only of our own peoples
but also of the many millions of
other races throughout the world,
to whom our guidance can be of
inestimable value in the age old
li:;ht against poverty and all that
louows in its train.
