PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE.
SUPPORT OF FOREIGN PRODUCTION. BY AUSTRALIAN G OVERNMENTS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT. SYDNEY, Dec. 10. Mr Hudson, president of the Australian Association of British Alanufacturers, speaking at the annual meeting of the association, said that last year Australia bought nearly £50,000,000 worth of competitive goods from countries other than the United Kingdom. He strongly criticised the tendency now showing itself to use Empire capital in supporting foreign production. Air Hudson said the association had reliable information that in building the Federal Par’iament House at Canberra a large order was placed in the United States for door and window fittings. Therefore British manufacturers were not given an opportunity. Air Hudson also instanced the Government bank at Sydney, which obtained locks and hardware fittings in the United . States, and the South Australian railways, which were getting over £1,000.000 worth or railway waggons from the United States.
