Mr. Mac r j kenzie King, made reference to th e I United States tariff revision. 0 He said: "There is a movement fo effecting more in the way of intei * j Imperial trade, -which from voluntary a I well as from Government agencies, ha 5 sathered momentum almost daily sine k the revision of the American tari: began. n "Here we can already see the exten S to "which even the possibility of revision of its tariff by America ha served to bring home to the componec part.-? of the Empire the wisdom c securing within the Empire itself, wit regard 'to any and every eventuality, a large a measure of inter-Imperial trad f* as may be possible.

B c " went extensively into the increase ii a- Canada's foreign trade, contending tha much of it was due to the steps takei by the Government in keeping down tin cost of production and the cost o living.
