TRADE WITHIN THE EMPIRE.
METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT. TARIFFS AND PUBUCITT. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 9. Mr. J. K. Merritt, of Victoria, in an address at the Royal Colonial Institute upon trade within the Empire, and I how to develop it, advocated: Firstly, reciprocal tariffs, meaning thereby the highest, possible preferential tariffs. Secondly, he urge's Press publicity. He complained bitterly that the newspapers consistently ignored Australia and New Zealand. Thirdly, he advocated education of the children of the Empire. Air. Merritt suggested that Britain's annual increase of half a million pbpulaI tion should migrate to Australasia, which thereby in twenty years would become one of the greatest producing countries in the Empire. Biscusson followed. Sir Jas. Allen, High Commissioner for New' Zealand, advocated incorporation in the Merchandise Bill now 'before Parliament of a provision distinguishing the Dominions' product from foreign. He did not believe it possible for Australia and New Zealand to absorb half a million migrants yearly. It would be impossible to find them homes and provide employment.— (A. and N.Z.). .
