EMPIRE PRODUCERS.
MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND. CAPITAL IN FOREIGN ENTERPRISE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 23, 9 p.m. London, June 22. The Empire Producers’ Association movement was launched by Mr. W. M. Hughes (Premier of Australia). The chairman (Mr. Ben Morgan) denounced a cosmopolitan section of Londoners who were using British credit to bolster up foreign trade and finance. In the past five months they had raised more money for foreign enterprises than all the Dominions. Mr. Hughes recited the 1920 figures of the Dominions’ purchases from Britain, far exceeding Germany’s, Japan’s, or America’s combined. He said he was prepared to meet on their own ground the perfervid war-time patriots who were now strict economists, and he would ask them: “What is the matter with the security of the trade of those who saved your trade?” The Empire had assured lasting peace to a great portion of the globe, and thus its development and expansion of the Dominions’ populations to hundreds of millions would bring nearer world-wide peace.
