' .■•■•■■•"# I MR HUGHES ON THE WARPATH- i < | J(Per Press Association, Copyright.) 1. LONDON, June. 22. t The .Empire Producers' Association, movement was launched by ; Mr, Hughes. The chairman. Mr Benjamin Morgan, formerly British Trade Commissioner to the Dominions, denounced the "cosmopolitan section of Londoners" who were using British credit to bolster up foreign trade and, finance. In the past five months they had raised more money for foreign enterprises than all the Dominions. Mr Hughes recited the figures for 1920 of the Dominions' purchases from Britain, which far exceeded those of j Germany. Japan, and America combined. He said he was prepared to meet on their own ground the perfervid wartime patriots who were now strict economists. He would ask them, "What is the matter with the security and trade of those who saved Jour trade ?" The Empire had assumed a lasting r>eaee to a great portion of the globe. Thus its development, and the expansion of the Dominions' populations to hundreds of millions, would bring nearer world-wide peace.
