CONTRACTS AND EXCHANGE RATES By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, March 2.
In the House of Commons Mr. Kelleway, replying to a question, said he had not received definite information that important foreign contracts had been lost by Britain in the Dominions’ markets on accotmt of the exchange rates. Nevertheless it would be unwise to assume that European competition in Empire markets would not be more severe in the near future. —Reuter.
MR. CHURCHILL’S POSITION. London, March 1. When in supply in the House of Commons on the air estimates, General S*»etcy and Sir Donald McLean protested against Mr. Winston Churchill continuing in double office, especially as he is going on a long visit to Egypt to-morrow. This, they said, was an affront to'the House Mr. Churchill, in a spirited reply, said the Near East involved an expenditure of £30,000,000 this year, and he was endeavoring to make a great curtailment; hence it was necessary to procure the acquiescence of the men on the spot to the withdrawal of a large number of troops.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
