The effects of free trade are seen on the steel industry - unemployment, idle
factories - and on other industries such as coal mining, limestone quarrying and
the railway industry. A policy of safeguarding is urged to protect British
industry and trade.
This film was part of the Britain Under National Government series. Other
areas considered were the improvement in the general economy and empire trade as
well as the improvement in the agricultural industry and further calls for
safeguarding, as in the film Two Lancashire Cotton Workers Discuss Safeguarding (1935).
