NEED FOR RECIPROCITY.

COMMERCE CHAMBERS’ URGE.

LONDON, June 22.

Affirming the need for reciprocal purchases of Empire Chambers of Commerce, in a pamphlet just issued, mentions incidentally that the policy of some of the Empire countries is to try and promote their secondary industries regardless of economic facte. Their tariffs, -says the manifesto, partially mitigate the preferences given by them, whereas Britain gives the Dominions a free market. The manifesto says that Britain ha-s large trading interests' with other countries, whose only means of payment' for British manufactures is the exporting of their primary products. Care must therefore be taken that this means of payment is not interfered with.

Nevertheless, says the manifesto, Britain will buyvmorefxbKaai she,* dtfe-9 from the Dominions if they will allow her payment to be made in fully manufactured of partially manufactured goods.
