MR. FENTON'S CLOTHES
BRADFORD'S BARRACK
i LONDON, 16th January. . Amusing reference to the all-Austra-lian clothes of Mr. Fenton (Australian Minister of Trade) was made by Mr. T. H. Bates, chairman of the Bradford branch of the Federation of British Industries, when speaking at a British Wool Federation dinner at Bradford. He said they would he pleased to see and hear what-Mr.'Fenton ,had to say about a tariff which had paralysed branches of the West Biding trade. He hoped Mr. Fenton would come in Australian clothes. He would be interested to see what the clothes looked like. He should be glad, however, if they were worn out at the end of the mission, so that Mr. Fenton would be obliged before his return to Australia to stuff his portmanteux full of clothes bearing the hall mark of Savile Eow. (London's fashionable tailor quarter).
