VIGOROUS CRITICISM
THE BRUCE DOCTRINE DERIDED.
(Received 12th October, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, 11th October.
The "Yorkshire Observer," the leading Asquithian paper, says: "The Dominion Premiere, in advocating preference, are thinking less of the Empire than of the economic interest* oj; the countries they represent. They are frankly over here to search for new capital and more assured markets. Britain should copy the Dominion Premiers in taking economic issues on their own merits, without paying too much attention to Imperial trimmings. There need be the less hesitation, Bince at least one of the Premiers thinks he can bully this country into protection by a fatuous threat to carry his wares elsewhere. It is a big voice come from a little man, representing a population half the size of London in a land which, apart from the protection of the British flag, would stand no chance in a quarrel with an Asiatic Power."
