Sir James Allen, ipterviewed by. the Daily Telegraph, said: The Liverpool shipowners, in a recent memorandum, were nngraeiqtis ; im Attacking the Dominions’ preferential: tariffs; which obviously were designed for the advantage Of .Britain and {the -Dominions. The policy of protecting industries could not bo criticised, because the dominions could pot remain .permanently as mere producers of raw material, dependent on other countries for manufactures. ' The shipowners were talcing a wrong view in thinking the Dominions’ tariffs meant a limitation of the exports of the British manufactures. We knew to our cost that ships oughb to be filled both ways. It was not the shipowners who aro paying for the half empty ships, but the Dominions in extra freights. As more Britishers go to the Dominions they become purchasers of British as well as local manufactures.
