WHAT EXPORTS MEAN TO US A big push on exports ... To start the ball of prosperity rolling, we have to send British goods out of the country. Why is this? Simply because it is the only way we have of paying for supplies we must have from overseas. A big push on exports will not only bring in the food we need, but also the raw materials to keep our factories in full production, our workers in full employment and our shops in full supply. Exports are a national priority just now, because they are vital to our recovery.
