INTEREST AROUSED IN LONDON. By Cable—-Press Association—Copyright LONDON, December 15. Tho Lord Mayor presided at a public “Buy British Goods” meeting at the Mansion House, supported by Sir Piiiljp Cuniiffe-Lister, Mr W. G. Ormsby-Gore, and ail the High Commissioners. Sir P. Cuniiffe-Lister described tlie movement as no “stunt” but a national movement, focussing the national determination to back up its faith in the Empire. Mr Ormsby-Gore, speaking on behalf of Lord Clarendon, who is indisposed, urged that the question of the increased purchase of Empire goods lay at the root of overseas settlement. He emphasised the fact that the present movement regarded the Empire as a single unit, and expressed the opinion that the principle trouble was the amazing ignorance of Imperial economic geography. Sir John Cockbnrn, for Australia, stressed the point that goods must he marked so as to leave no doubt whether they are British or foreign. He advocated tlie inimediate registration of a British mark similar to the French and Swiss, without awaiting the rxwsnge of the Merchandise Marks Bill.
