Australia Fails To Move Britain
(Received 11.30 a.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. The Australian trade delegation’s discussions with British Ministers in London have failed to secure a modification of the principles. of the Ottawa agreement, which govern British trade with Australia. It is proposed that these principles, which are contained in Articles 9 to 18, should eventually be replaced by a system of specific maximum duties on British goods. The terms of understanding reached in the discussions are set out in a White Paper presented to the House of Commons, the text of which was released simultaneously in Canberra. The Australian Government will forthwith investigate the possibilities of the new system, after determining the lines of development of secondary industries in Australia. Pending the decision of the Australian Government on the now system, the present Ottawa agreement will continue in force.
