CANADIAN VIEWS

OF IMPERIAL CONFERENCE,

(Received this day at 11 a.m.)

OTTAWA, December 1

Back from the Conference, the Trade Minister, Air Stevens states Air Moloney would arrive here in the middle of the month to negative for a new Australian Treaty. The effect of the new pact would be for Canada to buy more fruit from Australia, thus reducing the four to one advantage held by Canada. Canadians were now buying many articles from foreign countries that could he supplied by Australia. The same applied to New Zealand, but negotiations with suit country were more difficult because oT the higher duty on butter. The Russian five year plan was succeeding all along the line, and Canadians were doing their country a disservice by pretending otherwise. The Soviet would soon be a live competitor with Canada. The failure of the Imperial. Conference was due to Britain’s disturbed political situation. It would have been better to have held an election in Britain first, to produce definite proposals for the Conference. .More protection would greatly aid Britain.
