George Harvey, For- mer U. S. Ambassa- dor, Says Engl-and’s Period of Productiv- ity is Passed.

NEW YORK, liec. 8~A warn- ing that England's period or pro- ductivity ls passed and henceforth her sole function can be none else thall tllat ot‘ "luldllielnen" or manu- facturing intermediary betweeli producers 0f raw materials ulid consumers of finished articles, is sounded by (leorge Harvey, for- lnerly Ullited Status Ambassador to the Court of St.,.laines, ‘in an ilrtlele ill the North Americnil ile- view of tilts month.

"The sililple trutll is that Ilrl- tnin has realized on her natural wealth in iron; her ore mines are now oi‘ little vuluo and the prox- imity of iron and coal, so conduc ive to low frost ill smelting. has ceased to be u factor," (‘ulollel llurvey writes.

But for the direct subsidy grant- ed by the (l-overnlnent, Mr. ilnrvcy believes the lirltlsll coal ulining industry would he ill a stute of ut- ter collapse. lie lists coal luinlng. however, as the one great produc- tive industry that seems likely to be maintained, "although at iluptils which has made it too costly for any but home tronsnluption."

0t’ the shipbuilding industry, the article points out that a large um- jortty of the building yards arc either closed or considering tllut procedure and says “the chief cause of this partial collapse lies in the fact tllat other countries have so greatly increased their nlorcuntllc fleets that the. liritisli shnrc in shipping has decreased from 44.0 to less than 111i trercent,"

Reviewing tho condition of the l'0llllll'y'.‘l population, Colonel flar- vcy declares, that despite the ell- couragement Bivan to elnlsrflllflfl by the Government, in an effort to reduce by ten million the present population. "lt has all been tried in vain. Lust year, despite the growth ‘of unemployment only 88.- 883 people left to take up resid- once in the Domlnlons and Colon- ies, as contrasted with 223,851 in

1023i. Meulnvhllo the population ilngnleutctl by 2.000.000 during and since the Will‘, continues to ill-

crease steadily at the rate of six thousand u week.

Of British trading, Colonel liar- vey notes tlllit in 1024, the total ex- port alld re-export trade was only 7ili'l.00tl,ilu0 pounds, while Govern- mental expenses were 783,000,000 pounds. "That is to say," he cum- lncnts, “the gross exports oi‘ a country wholly dependent upon its foreign trnde barely exceeds tilt! cost of running the flovernniont."
