BRADFORD’S ADVICE
AUSTRALIAN TARIFFS
| ■' LONDON, 9th June. An authoritative indication of the Bradford woollen attitude to Australia at Ottawa has been supplied to the ‘‘Sydney Sun.” Bradford desires that Australia should' consider seriously the lowering of the duties on woollen and worsted piece, goods. Manufacturers argue that Australian tariffs, despite British preferences, are still unjustifiably high. * Lancashire' cotton interests contend that a self-contained Empire is a far-off reality. Even if Australia and Canada abandoned their secondary industries, they declare, they could only keep a small proportion of the Lancashire and Yorkshire mills running. Moreover, they say, Britain could not purchase all her necessary foodstuffs and raw materials from the Dominions unless the lattar’s populations were rapidly increased.
