Britain waking up REPORT TO THE NATION No. 22 You'd be surprised how much new ground British industries are breaking these days. Many are doing a great service by producing goods we used to import. This import-saving is as good as increasing exports. Take ALARM CLOCKS for example. Before the war we imported nearly all we used. Now, more than 2 million a year are being made in Britain. By next year we shall not need to import any. The same thing is happening in many other industries: SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS.
