BRITISH TRADE
SPEECH BY LLOYD GEORGE. “THREE DECKER” ORATION. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Jupe 20. Mr Lloyd George made a curious intervention in the Board of Trade debate, delivering a ‘‘three decker” oration when the House of Commons was almost empty, though he refused to take part in the full dress debate yesterday. The keynote of his speech was an appeal for a wide and impartial examination of Britain’s whole trade position. An impartial enquiry is more difficult than a year ago,” he said, “for the matter is complicated by political prejudices, but we should get- the facts. We can then draw our inferences. The nation is capable of saving itself in an emergency, provided it knows the truth.”
The success of the Dawes reparations leport would re-establish German credit. Therefore, lie, would like an official enquiry into the free mony market. There was a danger that British capital would be used to re-equip competitors rather than develop the countries which would be purchasers of our goods.
