TRANSPORT AND FREE TRADE
(REUTERS TELEGRAM.) LONDON, 30th October. Mr. Baldwin, speaking at Swansea, declared that he was having the detailed application of the principle of the economic policy he announced at Plymouth carefully and thoroughly examined. Mr. Baldwin, after having advocated the policy of Protection on the ground of the necessity of protecting the standard life of this country during the present unstable conditions, said that foreign countries and our own Dominions had not followed Britain. They had preferred to preserve their own market and their own agriculture as a background^ We had believed in splendid isolation at home even when it was accompanied by phenomenal unemployment that could not be witnessed to-day in any other industrial country; The orthodox Liberal forgot that the development of transport had completely upset half the premises on which the Free Trade arguments were founded.
