IMPERIAL PREFERENCE
British Liberal Leader’s Attack.
Press Association—Copyright. j London, March 10. | Sir Archibald Sinclair, leader of the i Liberal Party, speaking at a dinner ; held in connection with the part/y, 5 said that the Government's pnot/ec,tionist policy was responsible for disturbing the international situation. “It is not a happy augury for tlh“j ' future,” he said. “Mr Neville Chamberlain is likely to be Prime Mir * , ter. He is blocking the path to peace ’ through his obstinate adherence to a policy of economic Imperialism.” The Empire could not stand another shock like that at Ottawa.
“One of the worst features of Imperial preference,” he continued, “is the closing of the open door in the colonies, which is provocative to all Powers not possessing colonies, especially Germany and Japan. We must abandon the Ottawa agreemcait if we desire to stop the drift towards war.”
