My hon. Friend may be assured that the Government is studying and will endeavour to apply such measures as are best calculated to develop at the end of the war the trades and employments of peace with the greatest rapidity. I do net think it is possible now to forecast what steps will best serve that end, but, as I indicated in a public speech on 31st January, I should hope that the general tendency will be towards establishing international trade on a freer and wider basis than that envisaged in my hon. Friend's Question.
