EMPIRE TRADE
TOO MUCH SOUGHT. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, July 15. The Morning Post, in a leading article dismissing Lord Melchctt’s plea for free trade within the Empire, says: We desire to say nothing to discourage Lord Melchett or Lord Boaverbrook, but they will find difficulty in persuading the Dominions entirely to swoop away, in our favour the tariffs whereupon they depend for both revenue - and protection for their young industries. What wo had hoped for was more modest—and, to the Dominions, less alarming—a continuous widening of the present system ol preferential trade. We suggest to Lord Melchett and Lord Beaverbrook that, while they arc arguing for something graiuloise, we arc in peril of losing something of such value tnat other nations would give their eyes to possess it. Wo enjoy a favoured position in tho most hopeful and the most expensive of markets of the world. What iwill* that advantage ,be worth when those vast .territories aie more closely ■ populated, and • - more ■fully developed, , goes ■ beyond ■ our arithmetic.
