AMEKY URGES COMMON-SENSE,

(REUTERS TELEGRAM.)
LONDON, 22nd October
Speaking at a dinner to promote the use of Canadian products, at which ! the menu consisted of Canadian produce, Mr. Amery insisted that the most effective way of promoting Empire trade was preference; Ho declared that the obvious common-sense of such a proposal would eventually commend itself to Britain and overy other part of the Empire. Tho opposition to preference was due to preconception of economic theories, with something of tho religious about them, which could not be shaken even by the most obvious appeals of common-sense. But a 'beginning had been made. The principle of preference was firmly enshrined in the policy of Britain at the instance of a Cabinet representing all parties. Much had still to be done by effective organisation, better publicity, and tho goodwill of the people. As suggested by. the Economic Committee, trade was not so much a matter of politics, as of, custom and habit.
