INTER-IMPERIAL TRADE
DEVELOPMENT URGED By Cable.—Press Association Copyrir/ht LONDON, Tuesday. The Secretary of State for the Dominions, Mr. L. S. Amery, speaking at a luncheon of the Empire Federation of Chambers of Commerce, said the. only effective remedy for the present ’economic difficulties lay in the development of inter-imperial trade. This was capable of infinitely greater expansion than was foreign trade. The wine trade of the Empire almost died in the war period, said Mr. Amery, but it had recovered to its pre-war dimensions and substantial expansion was likely, particularly in heavy wines. The business communities of the Empire must get together. Why should they not have a federation of Empire producers of fruit, tobacco and dairy products and of grain growers, in short, an Imperial Farmers’ Union, to regain for agriculture its proper place? By this means they would apply the only true remedy for the persistent manufacturing crisis.—A. and N.Z.
