TRADE WITH BRITAIN.
AUSTRALIA’S STRONG CASE. Received May 27, 9.5 a.m. LONDON, May 26. The Leader of the Australian trade delegation now in London (Sir Earle Page) last night was the guest of honour at the Goldsmiths’ Company dinner. Referring to the Commonwealth s case for revision of the continuation of the Ottawa Agreements, he said there was more British capital invested in Australia than anywhere in the world. Australia was Britain’s most regular payer of loan interest. Her sinking fund in the last six months had actually reduced the outstanding interest, while the Commonwealth, in the first three months of 1938. was the greatest importer from Britain and the second greatest exporter to her.
