UNITED EMPIRE
BALDWIN ADVOCATES FREE TRADE
“LIKE NOTHING BETTER”
Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, in a speech at Belfast, advocated the safeguarding of industries, but added that the general tariff contained risks. There was no other country with such an infinite varjety of industrial interests, consequently, in adopting a new system, the Government ran a risk. “I hope business men will devote their brains to Empire matters,” he said. Statesmen in all the Dominions are seeking a means of coming together. Inter-Empire free trade is a great ideal, and freer Empire trade is practical politics. It is the only way whereby we can work toward the conception of the Empire as a unit. Only thus can the wider subject be approached—the question of protecting that unit against the world. There is nothing better I should like to see but the last word rests with the Dominions.
