DOMINION SURPLUS.
BRITAIN AS MARKET. HUGE FOOD IMPORTS. IXKJDOX. May 25. Mr. Aehbolt, Agent-Oeneral for Tagmania, giving an Empire talk at a public meeting at Australia House, emphasised the Dominions' production which, he said, in many things, had overtaken local consumption. Therefore, the Dominions ■wanted markets abroad (Britain was the principal outlet), and with mutual preference, Australia's surplus products might supplant imported foreign foodstuffs. He pointed out that Britain imported annually from America 1,200.000 tona of wheat, 1,000,000 tons of oats, 600,000 tons of maize, 5(1.000 tons of hams, 500,000 tons of meat. 52,000 tons of Danish butter, .and 180,000 tons of Danish and American bacon, all of which could be grown in the Dominions.
