EMPIRE PRODUCE.

AT PARLIAMENTARY LUNCHEON. BV CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION -COPYRIGHT LONDON, May 18. A luncheon was given in the House of Commons by Lieut.-Comamnder A. C. Kawson, M.P., to demonstrate the food possibilities of the Empire, and to draw attention to the Empire shopping week opening at Brighton to-day. The whole of tile food and drink and the cigars at the luncheon were produced in the Empire. The Colonial Secretary (Mr L. C. M. S. Amery), in proposing the toast of the Empire, said the luncheon proved that the consumer could master the situation. If we wanted to develop the Empire we must consume the goods it abundantly produced. One method was the establishment of preference in our taxation, in which he was a firm believer. Another method was education, as Lieut.-Commander Paw son was showing. Mr Smith, the South African High Commissioner, in replying, said people were too ant to take whatever the grocer supplied. They would not insist upon having Empire goods. He suggested that maize, which was a staple food in South Africa, would save the flour situation in Britain., The poor man could breakfast on maize for about one farthing. Sir Arthur Myers (New Zealand) also replied.
