(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 20th June.
Mr. Lloyd George made a curious intervention in the Board of Trade debate, delivering a. "three-decker" oration, when tho House of Commons was almost empty, though he refused to take part in the full-dress debate, yesterday. The keynote o£ his speech was an appeal for a wide and impartial examination of Britain's whole trade position. "An imswrtial inquiry is more difficult than a. year ago, before the matter was complicated by political prejudices," hs said, "but we should get the facts, and can then draw our own inferences. The nation is capable of saving itself in an emergency provided it knows the truth." The success of the Dawes report would re-establish German credit, therefore lir would like an official inquiry into the free money market. There was a danger that British capital would be used to re-equip competition rather than develop the countries which would be purchasers of our goods.
