I REVIEW OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN PRESS

The Review of British and Foreign Press, which is more conveniently referred to in the steel industry as the Press Review, originated in 1934, when it was produced by the Federation's Intelligence Department for the purpose of keeping heads of departments in touch with current developments in the economic, industrial and technical fields. It took the form of a duplicated sheet, usually of quarto size, giving headlines and page references of selected items from some three or four daily newspapers—The Times, Financial Times, Manchester Guardian—and from the weekly Economist. Distribution was purely internal, and the number rolled off daily was between twenty and thirty copies.
