UNITY OF EMPIRE.
FOREIGN ATTACKS.
AGAINST BRITISH SHIPPING.
(Received Friday, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Thursday.
Mr Baldwin at Glasgow said that, owing to restriction deliberately .. applied by foreign powers in their own interests, there was less ship tonnage building in British yards than at any time in the past fourteen years. "We cannot be content with passive resistance in the face of such a situation,” he said. The Premier declared that if returned to power he intended to call an early conference of shipbuilders to try and devise means to keep a great industry going.
In further reference to the tendency of foreign countries to discriminate against British shipping in favour of their own, Mr Baldwin said that the matter was so serious that it was brought before the reeent Economic Conference, and a method discussed whereby the unity of the Empire might make itself felt if it became necessary to fight such an attack.—Aus. and N.Z.
