BRITAIN THE CHIEF OUTLET.

“•Some people are still discussing free trade and talking.about Hie markets of the world as though those markets were still open,” said Mr. D. Jones, M.P., chairman of the New Zealand Meat I’roducers’ Board, at Auckland on -Monday. “Really, there is no such thing as a world market to-day, because almost every country is endeavouring to raise a tariff wall against outside trade. “So far us New Zealand is conecniefl, tho position is that Canada is in the melting-pot, ami, apart from. that, Britain is the only market wo have left. When we remember that our prosperity is almost entirely dependent ; <m that of Britain it appears to me tu be imperative that we should take elleetivc stops to see that our trade goes to the people who trade with us. We should raise very effective barriers against those who refuse to give',u's tho_saine right?’ • '■Mr. Jones* had 'been discussing 'the bearing of the revised United States tariff Tn ih'o ' Domiuio’ifs ' trade, lie milled: “'Tlie.'ini'pre.ssion'l formed in trav(dling'through the Uiiited States and seeing the crops ami fences aiul buildings, was that the Auncriean farmer needs all the help .he can get.
