AUSTRALIAN TARIFF CHANGES
A FAVOURABLE IMPRESSION (Received! 83rd May, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, 22nd May. Political quarters are favourably impressed with the Australian taiirt changes, especially as they were made unconditionally, lest foreign countries adversely affected should associate the revision with joint Anglo-Australian action. It, is emphasised at Whitehall that no preliminary sounding was taken here. , . , The changes are expected to minimise the problem of revising the Ottawa Agreement, and are approved on the grounds that such decisions are better made individually than thrashed out at large scale conferences The “Daily Mail” says that Australia’s action makes it more than ever a matter of honour and self-interest. Britain should reply by introducing a straight tariff with thoroughly effective preference for Empire products.
