British Food Journal Volume 4 Issue 7 1902

British Food Journal Volume 4 Issue 7 1902 Mr. LEVENSTEIN, the President of the Society of Chemical Industry, in his address delivered at Liverpool recently, dealt very fully with the question of the commercial position of Great Britain as compared with other countries, more especially Germany, and emphasised the fact that if this country is to compete successfully with her contemporaries she must, to use the words of the Prince of Wales at the Gildhall, wake up. After reviewing the chief factors making for Germany's advance in industry and commerce Mr. LEVENSTEIN says How are we to defend ourselves Shall we rest content as we are or bestir ourselves and awake to the irresistible fact that continued apathy and indifference mean ruin to our national position This is strong language but not stronger than the occasion demands, for the statistics by which these observations are backed clearly indicate a marked decadence in the national prosperity notwithstanding the years of apparent record trade, which, however, cannot be regarded so favourably when subjected to detailed analysis and comparison. Mr. LEVENSTEIN'S suggestions to meet this situation are as follows 1 The appointment of a competent and expert Minister of Commerce. 2 The nationalisation and extension of our canals and waterways. 3 A measure for greatly extending and improving our secondary education. 4 A sensible reform of our patent laws. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png British Food Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Mr. LEVENSTEIN, the President of the Society of Chemical Industry, in his address delivered at Liverpool recently, dealt very fully with the question of the commercial position of Great Britain as compared with other countries, more especially Germany, and emphasised the fact that if this country is to compete successfully with her contemporaries she must, to use the words of the Prince of Wales at the Gildhall, wake up. After reviewing the chief factors making for Germany's advance in industry and commerce Mr. LEVENSTEIN says How are we to defend ourselves Shall we rest content as we are or bestir ourselves and awake to the irresistible fact that continued apathy and indifference mean ruin to our national position This is strong language but not stronger than the occasion demands, for the statistics by which these observations are backed clearly indicate a marked decadence in the national prosperity notwithstanding the years of apparent record trade, which, however, cannot be regarded so favourably when subjected to detailed analysis and comparison. Mr. LEVENSTEIN'S suggestions to meet this situation are as follows 1 The appointment of a competent and expert Minister of Commerce. 2 The nationalisation and extension of our canals and waterways. 3 A measure for greatly extending and improving our secondary education. 4 A sensible reform of our patent laws.
