BOXER TO RETIRE

■ \- • ■ + . . (By Telegraph.— I'ross .Assnciiitihn.) , . BLENHEIM, This Day. Clarrie Ray.ner, the professional boxer, announces his retirement from the ring owing to the demands of the new employment he has obtained. that no one would deny that the; importation of low-priced goods- into the British Empire was a serious menace, but they had to be careful not to make vague statements. Who was to say what was a fair standard of living in any country? It was not a question of standards of living, but one of low-priced goods, and he had framed a further amendment which he hoped would deal with the position. His amendment read as follows: — "That this Congress views with grave concern the increasing importation into the British Empire of low-priced goods arid, being aware that the conditions of labour and wages in some foreign countries do not give a fair competitive opportunity to Empire producers*, urges his Majesty's Government to lay before the next Imperial Conference the seriousness of such competition."' The new amendment was accepted unanimously and adopted.
