The British vernment would hardly have been so foolish as thus to express its annoyance because a representative of this nation saw and told the truth about British trade methody. We imagine, however, Mr, Skinner's departure will cause the British authorities Tew regrets. On the other hand, upon his arrival in this countey he will be welcomed as-the one man who has gone straight to the heart of the elaborate British schemes for restricting American export trade with neutral countries in the interest of English producta ond producers. It has been a galling experience for exporters of this nation to find themselves dictated to by British trade anihorities and threatened if disobedient with the penalty of losing their supplies of raw material.
