TOWARD TRADE UNITY
BALDWIN POINTS WAY TO EMPIRE PROGRESS
INDUSTRIAL STIMULATION LONDON, Thursday. The Leader of the Conservatives, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, addressing a meeting ot' 3,000 members ot the party at the Coliseum Theatre said: '‘Our industrial progress has been set back five years in the eight months the Labour Government has been in office. “If we are to cope with unemployment we must have a free band m safeguarding the country’s manufactures. Safeguarding has been successful beyond all criticism in the limited sphere in which it has been employed.” He was convinced that the proper method of approaching the question of unifying the British Empire lay primarily* through the industrial side. Every effort should be made without delay to bring about arrangements between the industries • of Britain and corresponding industries in the Dominions and India. It was most important that nothing should he done to diminish the value of the limited preference Britain accorded to the Dominions.
No European commitments should be made which would prevent Britain expanding .the policy of preference in order to supplement and fortify interimperial trade agreements.
