Morgan, chairman <>i the British Empire Producers’ organisation. at the annual meeting, pleaded for an, intensive cultivation of Empire trade. “The outstanding fact of the year,’’ he said, ‘‘has been the-growth of Enipire consciousness, and the realisation of the Mother Country of the absolute necessity, for its future industrial existence, of cultivating Empire markets and encouraging and safeguarding foodstuffs and raw materials.”

Germany and Denmark bought from Great Britain £82,300,000 of goods, and. at the same time, sold Britain £349,700,000 of goods, adding: “How many additional Britishers could have been amplayed in the Empire, how much more prosperous could we have b»en if the purchases we made from foreign countries had been made within the Enipire?”
He urged the Government to investigate .closely tjie difference on nrices paid bv the consumer and those obtained by the producers.
