Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Exporter's Handbook and Glossary The greatest war the world has ever known, through which we are passing as this volume is preparing for the press, has taught us in England many things and many lessons. Not the least of these has been the complete awakening to our commercial imperfections, the knowledge of our utter lack of scientific organisation in prosecuting our huge export trade in overseas markets, and the complacency with which we have allowed much of it where we were formerly supreme to fall to the share of competing countries whose systems and methods have unquestionably been far in advance of our own. We have been wofully indifferent, haphazard and slipshod, and in the main have been content with the enormous volume of trade we transacted with comparative ease in Colonial and foreign markets because the known prestige of British-made goods throughout the world has always found ready - perhaps too ready - customers for them. Not only will every nerve have to be strained after this devastating war is over to regain the trade we have lost, and to maintain it at its former level, but it must be vastly increased according as our manufacturers and merchants show effort and determination to do so. To help to an intelligent understanding of how this can be accomplished, and the steps that must be taken, the Exporter's Handbook should prove of inestimable value. Having been privileged to peruse the proofs, I unhesitatingly affirm - and I speak with a life-long experience of export matters - that it is singularly instructive and informative, and there is not a single branch of the export trade which the author has not treated with commendable thoroughness and extreme accuracy.
