BRITISH TRADE
EMPIRE AND FOREIGN SIR HERBERT SAMUEL CONTRADICTED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, August 29. (Received August 30, at 1.15 p.m.)’ Mr H. H Stevens (Minister o£ Trade) takes issue with Sir Herbert Samuel’s statement at Calgary that the Imperial Conference agreements have driven the United Kingdom to discourage foreign trade, which was three times the volume of Imperial trade. Mr Stevens states: “ Sir Herbert is mistaken; I see by the British Board of Trade report that for the first six months of 1933 the total trade with foreign countries was £294,086,000, and with Empire countries only, £201,572,000. In the same period in 1932 the total trade with foreign countries was £332,747,000, and with the Empire £214,258,000. British trade with foreign countries was not. three times the trade within the Empire he* fore the Imperial Conference.”
