The Minister of Trade and Customs, Mr Gullett, in a speech of 22,000 words in the House of Representatives, explained the benefits obtained at Ottawa. He said these exceeded in range those gained by any other Dominion. Dr Earl Page, Leader of the Country Party, attacked certain phases of the Ottawa agreement, and said the full disclosure of the tariff schedule was very disappointing.
