THE CRISIS AT HOME.
Theoretical Haldane.
Practical Dewar.
Press Association—Copyright. Received December 2, 5.46 p.m. London, Yesterday. Professor Haldane, speaking at Dulwich, said now that it was evident that the colonies intended to maintain protection, people spoke less of Empire, but where one manufacturer was hit by foreign tariffs three prospered under freetrade. Britain did a far greater carrying trade than any other nation and the freights and insurances were paid by foreign goods. Sir T. R. Dewar, member for Saint George, in the course of a speech declared that employment was even better than cheap bread. He added that last week a furnishing firm in London discharged 150 hands owing to its trade having gone abroad. During the past year two and a-half million pounds' worth of ready-made doors and windows were dumped into England.
