BRITAIN TO BUY MORE ABROAD
NO CUT IH IMPORTS FROM DOMINIONS (N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent.) LONDON, January 25. That Britain would not diminish her imports from the_ dominions but would be buying more' from abroad was a point made by Lord Addison in the House of Lords when replying to a speech by Lord Beaverbrook, who argued that the proposed commercial agreement with America destroyed future prospects of British agriculture and was an outward sign and the final stigma to the liquidation of the British Empire. Lord Addison said Lord Beaverbrook's " dismal prognostications " .were unjustified. The proposals for quotas had nothing to do witli the negotiations for the loan and he denied there was anything to prevent Britain continuing to buy New Zealand butter in bulk. The Government was planning for fixed prices and aimed to develop agriculture on sound foundations and make progressively better use of the land.
