MORE THAN WAR OF ARMS
DANGEROUS TO EMPIRE
EFFECT OF SOVIET DUMPING
BALDWIN'S WARDING
United Press Association—By Electric Telfl" graph—Copyright. (Received 16th May, noon.) LONDON, 15th May. "This is hot trade; it is economic war, and much more dangerous to the Empire than a Avar of arms," said Mr. Baldwin at the Albert Hall in describing the dumping of Russian produce at knock-out prices as the most certain way of unsettling the world's economic system. "It has happened on a small scale with wheat, butter, soap, fruit, pulp, and timber. These are but the first-drops of the storm, giving warning of a hurricane. The tariff and quota are' the only protection 'against the menace of the five-year plan and the Russian system of despotism. We shall protect our own people against attempts to sap the foundation^ of civilisation by economic warfare."
