EMPIRE TRADE.
NEW ERA OF UNIFICATION. MR AMERY'S IDEAL. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) VANCOUVER, January 10. Mr L. C. M. S. Araery (Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs), speaking here, said that Vancouver had strategic trade advantages with Asia and the Antipodes. Canada needed a tropical and sub-tropical Empire, as a> commer-. cial complement, and has them in the British Empire. He urged the development of Empire trade. He -admitted that the British fiscal system was too narrow, but the Dominions receive substantial benefits froiQ preferential tariff. He had seen prosperity in the Murray Valley, in Australia, as the result of preference on" dried, fruits and wines."" He stressed the resources of New Zealand and Australia, and the position of Canada to build up commerce. The Empire had worked too much in watertight compartments, each thinking too much of local problems, and failing to realise how the home market could be strengthened. Mr Amery closed with an avowal of faith in the new era of Empire unification of trade.
