RECIPROCITY.

SIR GEORGE REID'S VIEWS

8T CABME—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT.

(Received June 22, 11 a.m.) LONDON, June 21. The overseas delegates to the Congress of the Chambers of Commerce were included in the guests at the Australian dinner.

Sir George Reid (High Commissioner for Australia; paid a tribute to Mr Joseph Chamberlain for bringing the dominions into their proper relation with the Motherland. Whatever fiscal opinion was held, all agreed that they should buy and sell to one another in preference to the peoples outside the Empire. If Britain was to maintain her trade supremacy it must be by redoubling and cheapening productions'. This doubling of the output could begin immediately without reciprocity and Acts of Parliament by buying from one another.
