EMPIRE TRADE.
GREATER DEVELOPMENT URGED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Australian and X.Z. Cable Association LONDON, April 29. In the House of Commons, during al discussion- on the Civil Service estimates, 'Mr R. Wadding-ton moved, urging greater development of Ernp-re trade, which was likely to respond at the- earliest date. . He advocated a survey of'the Dominions to sec which would be the most fruitful, chiefly in regard to railways."" Kir J. Peimefa.tlier, seconding, said the Dominions were the’.greatest customers per capita. The trouble was that there were too few people there. That was the first, difficult}- to -be overcome. By big bold effective migration schemes, they wanted to reach the pre-war yearly total of 200,000. Mr G. AY. 'jinnies said he would not be a partv to the exploita.t. on of coloured communities for the benefit of the capitalists. He did not approach the problem from the viewpoint of making a self-contained British Commonwealth, which would build up racial hatred and prejudice, hut from the more sensible standpoint that- it presented a favourable market, which we were entitled to develop.
