EMPIRE TRADE
OTTAWA FOUNDATIONS BENEFIT OF AGREEMENTS HOUSE OF LORDS DEBATE (United Press Association—By CableCopyright.) (Received 27, 1.0 p.m.) London, Oct. 26. In the House of Lords, Lord Arnold drew attention to the Ottawa Conference, Which he described as a supreme failure owing to Canada’s refusal to agree to the progressive liberation of trade within the Empire. Complete breakdown was only avoided by Britain accepting incredibly unfair and lop-sided provisions. Viscount Elibank said: “Lord Arnold has failed to awake to the new era of free trade. As wc know, it is fortunately dead. The future issues only concern high or low tariffs preferences. ’ ’ Lord Beaverbrook said that there were no sacrifices about the Ottawa agreements, which would benefit both Britain and the Dominion peoples. He regretted that the agreements did not go further in the direction of free trade within the Empire, an ideal which, he was sure, would ultimately bo realised. He strongly favoured a duty on foreign meat. Lord Hailsham, replying, said that Ottawa did not build an edifice but it laid foundations w-hich would result in better trade within the Empire.
