NOT EMPIRE FREE TRADE
SAYS LEADING CRUSADER ONLY A FEW STEPS TAKEN By Telegraph—Copyright—Press As. LONDON, Last Night. “This is not Empire free trade; it is not Mr Baldwin’s Imperial economic unity; it is at most a reckless step or two in that direction.” This is Lord Beaverbrook’s verdict on Ottawa published in the “Daily Express.” He complains with regard to the Argentine beef trade that the Government listened to financiers who say that £500,000,000 is invested in Argentina, but much is irretrievably lost, whereas the capital value of British Agriculture is about £2OOO millions and another £2OOO millions are invested in the Dominions. A duty on frozen beef imports would be harmless to Argentine. Exporters can substitute chilled for frozen whenever they please. He declares that he will conduct a campaign until duties are imposed on beef and pig meat, and will also demand fair treatment for oats and barley.
