Mr Baldwin addressing the Womens Unionist orgauisation at Oiieou s Hall declared the conduct of the Government regarding McKenna duties and Imperial preference sliou-ed a lamentable lack ,*f imagination ami understanding. “They have tailed to realise that tbe prosperity of the Empire Stood a- a whole, that you could not hit one part without damaging anntlier. If we do not co-ooerato with the Dominions in trade, they must inevitably. as time goes on. co-operate with others, and it may well be that the same faults with tbe same results as occurred under tbe Parliament of George Til with regard la the North American colonies, may occur in the twentieth century under a democratic legime, with no less evil effects upon tho life of our country.”
