TRADE EXCHANGE
POLICY OF BRITAIN ATTITUDE TO NEW ZEALAND PROTEST BY LIBERALS WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received April 22. G. 35 p.m.) LONDON, April 21 "The Liberals do not intend to allow matters to rest with the Government's refusal of New Zealand's offer of a free exchange of trade," said Sir Herbert Samuel, in a speech at Darwen. "When the offer was made in October it caused much perturbation with this great Imperial Government, which lias always said it regarded the Empire as one unit, that we must think Imperially and look to the Empire for markets." "The Government eventually rejected the offer because it was inconsistent with the slap-dash methods of the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W. E. Elliot, which are causing much disturbance in British agriculture. We intend to watch developments in this New Zealand situation."
The Daily Express says those in Australia or Britain who wish to develop Empire trade should set their faces against the quota. The aim should be to secure freedom within the Empire from quotas and from tariffs and thus deprive the foreigner of his present large share of the British market.
