MR LLOYD GEURGEFS MOVE. COALITION DIFFERENCES. LONDON, Feb. 12. The Daily Chronicle, the Premier’s principal organ, interprets Mr Lloyd George’s speech in the House of Commons as the firs-t move in a new political struggle which may greatly affect the parties. It gives the Coali~ tionists a definite lead, and will probably heal the differences which lately attracted atention, It will certainly rally the Unionist wing and the small- ; er policies which tended to divide t-hei Coalitionists will disappear_ in resist-i ance to all-round Nationalisation, andl especially in the fight of constitutionalism against direct action.

ADVICE 'l‘o BUSINESS MEN. SYDNEY, Feb.‘l3. In connection with the exchange rate difficulty, the American Consul advises exporters to sell to America in dollars instead of in sterling. Spain is already doing this and other countries are beginning to take the same attitude which the United States is encouraging. A A prominent Sydney banker declared that by doing this ‘Australian merchants. would be ‘helping to- stabalise the London market. Any Australian bank would collect these dollars for a small commission, or setl tlement could be made in the ordinary course through a London seller and thereby get not only a legitimate profit, but -the benefit accruing from the adverse exchange also. Australian. «buyers of American goods should insist on delivery at the normal dolliar exchange. Most goods from America sold at rates which allow ample trade profits without an additional profit being made on the dollar exchange.
