EARLY FORMULATION OF GOVERNMENT POLICY EXPECTED
(British Official Wireless)
PROBLEM OF SELF-PROTECTION
RUGBY, Friday. According to present indications the Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, will announce the Government's policy, by which it is hoped to balance the trade account as soon as the House of Commons reassembles in February. The various committees which the Cabinet set up after its series of council meetings earlier this week, will meet early in January when the Prime Minister, who is now in Scotland, and the other Ministers will have reassembled after the Christmas holidays. The Government's comprehensive policy will be formulated after these committees have prepared and examined the necessary detailed information. In an interview at Lossiemouth today the Prime Minister discussing the. fiscal policy, said fair play and no favour was what everyone wanted in international trade relations, but Britain was encompassed by foreign subsidies, bounties.and competition of low social standards. The time had therefore come when the position must be reconsidered. Britain was faced with the problem of self-protec-tion. In considering these important questions, he added, Cabinet harmony had been complete.
