EMPIRE FREE TRADE
SIR JAMES PARR PRAISES SCHEME LONDON, Thursday. The High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir James Parr, speaking at a dinner given by Bristol ship owners, made a reference to Empire free trade. He said the Dominions would have nothing but praise for Lord Beaverbrook’s courageous exposition. Personally, Sir James said, he did not think much of the dear food objection. The British farmers should be given the first chance. They with their kinsmen farmers in the Dominion could within five years supply the Motherland with all the food the people could eat, with no increase in prices. Another objection was that the Dominions feared that their own industries would be swamped by cheaper goods. He did not believe that it was beyond the ability of shrewd and capable businessmen to make such an adjustment as would admit of a satisfactory solution of this problem. It was up to them all to see if it could not be -translated into action.
