INTER-EMPIRE TRADE.
BRITAIN'S £1,000,000 GRANT. MR. BALDWIN ON NECESSITY. A. and N.Z. LONDON. July 2. The Primo Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, addressed 30,000 Conservatives at Cullumpton, including delegates from every constituency between Bristol and Penzance. Ho devoted his speech mainly to agriculture.
Mr. Baldwin insisted on the Government making the proposed grant of £1,000,000 to help in the production of Empire foodstuffs and to enable Empire goods to replaco foreign goods.
" It is our desire and intention," he said, " that the largest possible proportion of importations shall come from the Dominions and not from foreign countries. We do not desire to displace one pound of our own 'stuff, but every increase in the stock sent to Britain from the Dominions will mean more settlers, therefore more purchasers for our goods and better trado at home."
