UNITED EMPIRE PARTY
LORD BEAVERBROOK’S FREETRADE CAMPAIGN Association—By Telegraph—CopvrigU LONDON, February 17. Announcing that 200,000 men and women had enrolled themselves as Empire Frcetrado crusaders within ten weeks, Lord Boaverbrook has issued a manifesto declaring that recent events and the speeches of the political leaders show that none of the existing parties is big enough to embrace the entire Freetrade doctrine. Accordingly he and bis colleagues are forming a new party, to be called the United Empire Party, which will seek every possible means of placing its views before the electorate, and implementing the principles for which the Empire crusade was launched, freed from the shackles of tactical considerations and temporising which _ were at present paralysing British politics. He asks for the support of all those who believe in Britain’s fundamental need for an industrial policy based on Empire development, which will bo achieved as soon as the electors return a Government unfettered by ancient fiscal theories and able freely to cooperate with the dominions.
