TRADE BARRIERS
1 TARIFFS ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS MR BRUCE’S 'VIEWS. Fress Association —By Telegraph—CopyrfgH NEW YORK, June 8. (Received June 9, at 1.35 p.m.) Addressing the British luncheon Club, Mr S. M. Bruce declared that he wished that the League of Nation* would make a close study of prohibitory tariffs on agricultural products by industrial nations. The, results of the study would undoubtedly surprise Jhe world and show more clearly the consequence of economic nationalism. Mr Bruce said that, while Australia had internally met her difficulties by rigorous scaling down public expenditures and a rise in taxation, externally she had no alternative buj; to increase production and send it . into the world markets, further depressing prices, and rigorously limiting: irapor- : tations. For all the talk at the World Economic Conference about the dropping of harriers of trade the nations had returned home to embark on a strict programme of limitation of production and restricted binational or small-group trade agreements.
