EMPIRE TRADE.
SOME NEEDS STRESSED. Br Telegraph.—Press Assn Ccipyrislit. London, Nov. 10. The Double Income-tax Protest Association tendered a luncheon to Mr. Frederick Young (chairman), Mr. Frederick Qutton (ex-chairman), and Mr Henry Bull (ex-Treasurer). Colonel L. C. Amery (Under-Secretary for the Colonies), presiding, said that whatever were the difficulties of the Empire they were nothing compared with the possibilities. Although Britain was old and the Dominions were young, Britafh was perpetually renewing her youth because she was part of the youngest Empire that ever existed, and was daily breaking down th£ barriers between the component parts of the Empire. They needed more effective shipping, reduced -cable rates, and cheaper and enlarged Press services. There still remained the Customs barrier. The D> millions, for good reasons, protected {hc\r industries, but Imperial preference, while recognised by every nation within the Empire, did irot apply to tariffs alone, and should embrace trade, commerce, shipping, telegrams, and other methods of communication. ]"».rlicular importance was attachable to exchange, and he would like to see some system to make exchange equally easy between the countries of the Empire, as between Sydney and Fremantle, or Halifax and .Vancouver.— Cable Assn.
