“WASTED CONFERENCE”
BRITAIN’S LACK OF POLIUY r FREE TRADERS’ FINAL WIN NEWSPAPERS’ CRITICISM By Telegraph.—Press Association. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. 15. The failure of the Imperial Conference to achieve any concrete result, says the Times, primarily is duetto the fact that the Government drifted into it without any clear policy and without anything like the preparation needed. “The humiliation of this wasted conference,” says the Daily Express, ‘‘is the last victory for the free importers.. It is only a matter of months when the country will sweep them aside with anger and contempt.’’ The News-Chronicle says there never was the faintest chance that the Government “would acquiesce in the principle of taxing food or raw materials and thus commit the nation to a dis-' astrous fiscal revolution.”
“The conference broke up in an atmosphere of defeat and disappointment,” says the Sunday Times. “It’s record is one of nullity of deferment. This Government muse certainly go down in history as the most incompetent of the century.”
