Loudon, Nov. 19
“Sunny Jim” was tlio term which Major Astor, M.P., applied to Mr J. H. Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, at a luncheon given to Dominion newspaper representatives. Major Astor said that British salesmanship in the Dominions had not been all it might be.
Mr Thomas said that if lie told the Dominions tliey must buy what Britain wants to sell, they wouM reply, “Go to hell!” He was trying to ascertain why the Dominions bought 85 per cent foreign motor ears and only five per cent. British. Britain must tell Australia and the other Dominions that she would help them with British capital and labour in establishing industries, asking in return a little consideration.
