AUSTRALIA’S POLICY.
LONDON, October 8.
Mr Seullin said: “We are all agreed concerning the need of interimperial cooperation, but surely co-operation, like charity, can begin at home. Australia’s policy is, first, to encourage the support of Australian manufactures; secondly, to secure to British industry the lion’s share of the Commonwealth’s import trade. Empire buying, however, begins at home. It is well known that Australia is experi encing a critical period. The drastic measures which have been taken in the Commonwealth should be regarded wholly as of an emergency nature, subject to review, and in some cases to withdrawal as soon as the financial position permits. Although it has been suggested that different methods should be considered at the conference, I must definitely declare that tariff preference is, in our opinion, the most satisfactory form of help.”
