Total output to-day is independently estimated at from 10 to 20 per cent. above pre-war. Last October we pre-war: and we imported only live things for every six pre-war. Yet we fell short of paying our way that month by about £50 million. Why? Because world prices have gone against us, and we must pay so dearly for what we want: also we have lost overseas investments that paid for £100 million of imports a year.
