Mr. Snowdon declared that the motor trade had had amplo notice of the change in conditions. He aroused much opposition by attacking the agitation allegedly carried on by employers among the workors, and asked what good the duties had done to the motor trade, socing that seventy-five per cent, of British manufacturers were in the hands of the banks. Exports in 1912 wore lower than in 1923, while in the same period Imports had doubled. The offoot of the duties had ceased to be protective because British- manufact- urors spocialized in a British type to the exclusion of American compotition.
The British motorear trade would find it did not want proteo- tion when it got rid of watered capital and put its affairs on a sound financial basis. There could be no compromise over the withdrawal
of duties.
