Ray Con- verse of Palermo, N.Y., who is Grand Commander of the State of New York and Mark Norris, Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of the United States.

Hudson, M.P., Secretary to the De- partment of Overseas Trade when asked to comment on the figures. "It is therefore most encouraging to see our exports developing so satisfactor- ily. Every country knows that for- eign markets, once lost, are very dif- ficult to regain, and our manufac- turers are therefore making determ- ined and successful efforts to meet overseas demands, and create fresh ones. "The United Kingdom imports from abroad more than any other country, even without taking into considera- tion the huge imports from our own Empire countries.
