EMPIRE TRADE
AIR- BALDWIN’S SPEECH. (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Rec. Feb. 17, 1 p.m.) LONDON, February 16. Air Baldwin, in a speech at Belfast, advocated safeguarding, but added that a genera] tariff contained risks. “There is no other country with such infiinite variety of individual interests, consequently in adopting a new scheme we run the risk of placing industry upon a procrusted bed. I hope that business men will devote their brains to Empire matters. The statesmen in all the Dominions are seeking how we can come together. Inter-Empire free trade is a great ideal. Freer Empire trade is practical politics. It is the only way whereby we can work towards the conception of the Empire as a unit; thus only can the wider subject be approached, namely, how to protect that unit against the world. With free trade within like the United States of America, there is nothing better I should like to see, but the last word rests with the Dominions.’ ’
