OVERSEAS DOMINIONS.
ENTERPRISE CHECKED. TREATMENT BY BRITAIN. (Received 7.55 p.m.) Sun. LONDON, May 6. The Empire Producers' Organisation passed a resolution to the effect that it views with apprehension the Government's failure to ratify the Economic Conference resolutions, and regards with dismay the Government's proposals to reduce the duties on . certain products, thereby checking enterprise in Empire development. The organisation points out that the Government's action will force the Dominions in their search for markets to enter upon long term commercial treaties with foreign countries, :e----gardless of Britain's interests. That action the Dominions have long striven to avoid, in the endeavour to institute a common Empire economic policy. The organisation also asserts that thd Government's action will make difficult the task of finding settlement opportunities for Britain's surplus population.
Speakers at the Empire Press luncheon said the newspapers should devote greater space to overseas news, in recognition of their increasing interest in London.
