FREEDOM OF TRADE
IN A SHACKLED WORLD. “ It cannot be too strongly insisted that in spite of the apparent reversal of Great Britain’s fiscal poliry she has still all the time been keeping alive the doctrine and practice of the greatest possible freedom of trade in a shackled world. “ She has resisted the system of quotas, o fexchange restrictions, and clearing-house devices, so far as'these been used to restrict imports on the one hand or to bolster up a poor currency on the other. “ The quotas she herself has imposed have bee nused only to regulate home productions and distribute imports fairly, and not with a view to cutting down imports. “ More important still, she has refused to use a power which she might have used had she wished. The basic fundamental of economics is that, for the purpose of international trade, we are all members of one another. Britain, in spite of concessions to the opposite view, has continued her traditional respect for this doctrine, asd has benefited by it."—The Christian Seience Monitor.
