FOREIGN TRADE
BRITAIN’S POSITION
SIR 11. SAMUEL CRITICISED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received August 30, 2.30 p.m.) OTTAWA, August 29. Mr. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, takes issue with Sir Herbert Samuel’s statement at Calgary that the Imperial Conference agreements have driven the United Kingdom to discourage foreign trade, which Was three times the volume of Imperial trade. Mr. Stevens states: “Sir Herbert is mistaken. I see by the British Trade Board report that for the first six months of 1933 the total trade with foreign countries was £294,086,000, and with Empire countries only £301,572,000. In the corresponding period in 1932 the total trade with foreign countries was £332,747,000, and with the Empire £214,256,000. The British trade with foreign countries was not three times the trade within the Empire before the Imperial Conference.”
