EMPIRE TRADE
THE CASE FOR PREFERENCE. MUTUAL COMMERCIAL RELATIONS. SPEECH BY COLONIAL SECRETARY. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyrigjit). (Reuter’s Telegrams.) LONDON, January 22. (Received January 23, 5.5 p.m.) Mr L. C. Amery, speaking at the Constitutional Club, declared that the policy of Imperial Preference was not a monopoly. A large measure of Preference already existed throughout the Empire, he said, but no tariff acted as well. The figures proved the unreality of the talk of the British trade being excluded by the Dominions. It • would be a disaster to Britain if Canada became Free Trade. The dominions gave British preference; therefore it was a clear case for Britain to do something in return, continued Mr Amery. The Government came into power prepared within certain limits fully to carry »>ut in every direction a policy of fostering mutual trade in the Empire and building up its strength.
