IMPERIAL TRADE.
MANUFACTURERS URGE > PROTECTION. CONFERENCE DISAPPOINTING. LONDON, November 4. Mr. Georg's Terrell, president of the National Union of Manufacturers, moved at the annual meeting in favour of Customs or other regulation of the importation of produce, urging the Government to negotiate with the Dominions on a preferential basis with the aim of securing inter-imper-ial free trade. He added that the Imperial Conference had been a great disappointment. The Government was simply offering the Dominions theoretical problems devoid of business reality. The Conservative Party, but for the Beaverbrook-Rothermere propaganda, would still be muddling with safeguarding under free trade domination. The next Conservative Government. should have a free hand to negotiate with the Dominions. Mr. Terrell urged the termination of the miserable bickering with the Press. The motion wias carried, despite Mr. Thomas Howard’s assertion that the Beaverbrook stunt would delay the safeguarding of manufacturers for twenty years while dumping ruined industries. The Government’s attention was directed to the insolvency of the unemployment fund.
