PROPOSED SCHEME
TO CONSTRUCT EMPIRE TRADE (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Jan. 6. “The most mad-hatter scheme ever evolved!” That is how Mr George Lanshury, member of the Cabinet, described Lord Beaverbrook’s and Lord Rothermere’s Empire economic policies when he was speaking in the East End of London. Air Lanshury said: They both are worried about the expenditure. The Government’s greatest crime, according to Lord Rothermere, is that it has increased the expenditure on social service. He objects to the raising of the school age, and also to the unemployment payments; hut British history has proved that the expenditure upon the social services has been the best insurance against revolution. Lord Beaver brook and Lord Rothermere, in their desire to develop the'Dominions, are forgetting that Dominions like Australia and Canada desire to develop their own secondary industries, instead of buying British manufactures and sending food in return.
