BUSINESS MEN'S VIEWS
REPARATIONS AND EMIGRATION. •Tress Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 18. (Received Jan. 18, at 10.20 p.m.) The Association of British Chambers of Commerce carried a resolution that the present drifting in connection with the reparations issue was most injurious to Britain’s commerce. Owing to a desire not to embarrass France, the above motion was carried without discussion. Another motion that was carried declared that, with a view to increasing Empire trade development and indirectly reducing unemployment in Britain, the association would support any principles of Empire settlement, by close co-operation with the dominions, by which the public bodies of Britain could take a direct interest in sending chosen groups from one district to selected areas in the dominions. The meeting also demanded the abolition of the Corporations Profits Tax and the operation of the Income Tax on the Royal Commission’s recommendations, allowing for depreciation on wasting assets and permitting the denreciation of plant and machinery to be regarded as annual trade expenditure.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
