TRADE AGREEMENT.
ADVANTAGES EVIDENT. LONDON, Jan. 28. The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon), speaking at a dinner given at the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, stated that the difficulties of trade negotiations with the United States were very great, but he hoped that there would emerge an agreement of outstanding importance to economy of the two countries and the Empire; also of great importance as an example of what could be done by co-operation and goodwill. It would break down the barriers between the countries and start trade flowing more freely. Sir John added that there had been a suspicion in some quarters that the political value attached to any friendly intercouse between England and America might lead Britain to make a trade agreement to the detriment of British trade. “There is no foundation, for any such suspicion,” he concluded.
