A POLICY FOR THE EMPIRE.
UNTvERSAL WNGRATULATIONS. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON. May 19. Mr Chamberlain has received hundreds of letters and telegrams, and many personal visits and congratulations on his speech. Lord Strathcona declares that the speech offers food for serious consideration throughout the length and breadth of the Empire, as indicating a domestic trade policy for the Empire on a mutual basis. The Hon. H. Copeland. Agent-General for N.S.W., said the speech was the most important made in the interests of the Empire for many a year. It- portrays a farreaching Imperial policy, once a customs union is established to conserve Imperial trade in Imperial channels, instead of scattering it broadcast among nations wliich are anxious to strangle our trade in their own interests. England never had free trade. It had only a free purchasing market, and not a free soiling market.
