EMPIRE ECONOMICS
AMERY AND PREFERENCE
"NOT GOOD IMPERIALISM"
FREE TRADE PAPER'S REBUKE.
j (United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 2nd November. The "Daily Chronicle" says: "Mr. Amery will do no good service to the Empire if ho encourages the Dominion Premiers to expect that we will alter our fiscal system to enable us to give preferences. Happily the Prime Ministers are well acquainted with the Free ! Trade convictions of Britain. Our welj fare as a manufacturing and exporting country depends absolutely upon our capacity to buy in the cheapest markets and carry on trade with all the world. Mr. Bruce truly said that the more we are able to buy from the Dominions the more they will buy from us. But if we were to desert the Free Trade system we should defeat the very ends toward which Preference is directed, as we should reduce our purchasing power. It i 3 not good Imperialism for Tory Ministers to allow their longings for the protection of British industry to masquerade in the guise of Imperial goodwill."
