EMPIRE COUNTRIES
INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS BENEFIT TO BRITAIN WELCOME STEP FORWARD By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received February IS, 6 p.m.) LONDON. Feb. 17 Captain Euan Wallace. Parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade, speaking at a banquet of the Royal Warrant-Holders' Association, said: "We should regard the industrial development of the Empire countries as a welcome step forward, not as a menace to home industries, "The Empire overseas remains the chief producer of our food and raw materials, for which the principal factor is prosperity. "Britain may hope to expect her .■share of prosperity in due course with a consequent improvement in the economic situation of the Dominions. The primary producers of the Empire
will appreciate how much they owe to tlie industrial activities of the United Kingdom. The Ottawa agreements strengthened the links of Empire, at which it is unwise to scoff. "It is fortunate that we have heen able to secure an area in which there is no fear of new impediments to trade and a continuance of economic policies based on the general welfare of the Empire."
