	Board of Trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Board of Trade is a committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, originating as a committee of inquiry in the 17th century and evolving gradually into a government department with a diverse range of functions.
		This department has been known as the Department of Trade and Industry since 1970, headed by a Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, who is also President of the Board of Trade.
		The Lords Commissioners of Trade and Foreign Plantations, appointed in 1696 and commonly known as the Board of Trade, did not constitute a committee of the Privy Council, but were, in fact, members of a separate body.

		From 1672 to 1675 the council for trade was combined with this commission, but in the latter year the colonies were again placed under the control of the privy council.
		This arrangement continued until 1695, when a Board of Trade and Plantations was created; its duty, however, was confined to collecting information and giving advice:when required.
		Both the Board of Trade and Plantations and the additional secretary were abolished in 1782, and the executive business wholly given over to the home office.

	Secretary of State for Trade and Industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The idea of a Board of Trade was first translated into action by Oliver Cromwell in 1655 when he appointed his son Richard Cromwell to head a body of Lords of the Privy Council, Judges and merchants to consider measures to promote trade.
		The board was abolished on July 11, 1782, but a Committee of the Privy Council was established on March 5, 1784 for the same purposes.
		At first the President of the Board of Trade only occasionally sat in the Cabinet, but from the early 19th century it was usually a cabinet level position.

	"The Board of Trade." Volume IV 1795: The Labrador Boundary Dispute Documents
		The Board of Trade, in origin at least, did not constitute a separate department of government, and therefore its papers, though in character departmental and arranged according to the common departmental plan, properly belong among the state papers.
		The board was legally only a body of advisers to the crown and its papers would naturally fall into the same class as those of the Privy Council and the Secretary of State.
		The duties of the board, as the many commissions show, were rather the protecting and furthering of trade and commerce than the administration of the colonies.

	Root, Lords of Trade and Plantations
		The planting of new and the conquest of foreign colonies, the incorporation of new and the strengthening of old trading companies, the passage of the acts of trade, and the attendant wars with the Dutch are the notable events which bear witness to the emergence of England as an imperial power.
		In fact the council committee, known as the Lords of Trade and Plantations, assumed its duties in 1675 with a high sense of loyalty and a display of energy that ended a period of drift and opened a decade of unified and forceful conduct in imperial control.
		He proposed specifically a plantation committee of select and knowing personnel, in which regular attendance should be required and regular meetings should be held “two mornings in a week on fixed dayes, and not according to the leasure or humour of a President of the Councell”.

		Although the length of the crossing and the mortality rate were not considered to be significantly unusual for that period, the Board of Trade and Plantations was concerned that it might serve as a discouragement for future recruiting.
		Accordingly, the Governor — again prevailing against the strong opposition of the Board of Trade and Plantations — authorized the extension of free rations for the settlers for an additional year until the summer of 1756, albeit at a somewhat reduced rate and excluding those few settlers who were well established.
		Due to the unusual circumstances of the war, the Governor had been repeatedly able to convince the British Board of Trade and Plantations to extend, albeit grudgingly, the provision of rations to the settlers until the summer of 1760, when they were finally terminated.

		Every subject of the state, whatever might be the ordinary trade or occupation by which he gained his livelihood, considered himself, upon all ordinary occasions, as fit likewise to exercise the trade of a soldier, and upon many extraordinary occasions as bound to exercise it.
		The protection of trade in general, from pirates and freebooters, is said to have given occasion to the first institution of the duties of customs.
		But, if it was thought reasonable to lay a general tax upon trade, in order to defray the expense of protecting trade in general, it should seem equally reasonable to lay a particular tax upon a particular branch of trade, in order to defray the extraordinary expense of protecting that branch.

		Almost from the beginning, the colonials engaged in the fur trade, which was centered in Albany, New York, and managed by Dutch traders, who relied for their supply of pelts on the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, and, later, Tuscarora Indians: the League, or Six Nations, of the Iroquois.
		When that shocking news reached London weeks later, the Board of Trade and Plantations, the effective governing body of the colonies, wrote the governor of New York, directing him to summon representatives of the other colonies to a meeting.
		The Board of Trade and Plantations, in London, despite its distance from the scene, its customary focus on the bottom line, and the fact that they had neither spoken with nor laid eyes on the Native Americans, proved to have a remarkably accurate and sensitive perception of how the Iroquois alliance had gone wrong.

		He wrote to the Board of Trade and Plantations; his friend, Thomas Penn, endorsed his statements; and the result was that the new clause was passed, and all foreign Protestants in American Colonies--the Moravians being specially mentioned--were free to affirm instead of taking the oath.
		Next, the advocate of the Brethren was to supply the Commissioners for Trade and Plantations with a complete list of Moravian bishops and pastors, together with their handwriting and seal; and, finally, anyone who falsely claimed to belong to the Brethren's Church was to be punished as a wilful perjurer.

		During the course of the slave trade, (three and a half centuries) roughly ten million fl Africans were landed in the Americas (not counting several million more who died before or during the passage).
		The slave trade was part of a larger pattern of trade which has come to be know as "the triangular trade." The triangular trade involved sailing with from British ports such as Liverpool to the Western coast of Africa carrying trade goods which could be exchanged for slaves.
		Once the slaves were on board, the ship would sail for the West Indies or other ports in the Americas -- the second leg of the triangular trade.

		But the coercive power of the WTO is directed to limiting the authority of the majority in every country to govern—that is, to control their own labor, spend their natural wealth, use their property, conserve their resources, structure their communities, define their institutions, choose their technologies.
