TRADE HOSTILITY In the Empire BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA. (Aus & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received August 16 at 8.20 p.m.) LONDON, August 16. The “Morning Post,” in an editorial, says: “It is regrettable that the relations between Britain and Australia have been steadily deteriorating in recent months. Neither side can be absolved from a share of the responsibility.” It reviews briefly the meat and cotton controversies, and fcays: “The truth is that both countries are trying to eat their cake and have it. The realistic solution, surely, is that we must sacrifice some of our foreign markets for the cake of Australian imports. Australia must sacrifice some of her secondary industries for the sake of British imports. The two parties should come together and devise a rational policy of harmony in their common interests.”
