EMPIRE TRADE
3.45 P.M. EDITION
IMPORTANCE STRESSED. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received December 4, 1.45 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 3. A private view was afforded to-day of Mr Stanley Bruce’s movietone films, one for Australian, the other for Brit-, ish audiences. The photographers said that Mr Bruce’s “talkie face and voice” were unequalled among politicians. Mr Bruce’s English talk, from his lavishly-furnished studio library., said that unlimited resources and man power if used for reciprocal trade throughout the Empire would solve a problem almost insoluable by the rest of the world. The Empire’s best brains could achieve a great beneficial arrangement embracing the whole Empire. Mr Bruce in his Australian talk isaid: “I vainly* strove in 1923 and again in 1926 to create the realisation of what a true system of inter-impe-rial trade would mean to Britain and the Empire. The attitude on this subject has now entirely changed in Britain, where the people realise that there is little hope of solving problems through international trade.
“The recent election returned a Government with absolute command to establish true inter-imperial trade relations. I believe that the Government is zealously attempting to carry it out. It is the greatest possible* importance to Australia.”
