THE ATTACK ON FREE TRADE.;

LONDON, June 18th, At a Condos Commercial Club Jour ebeor. Lieut. Col. L. C. S. Amery said that Imperial Preference meant that the country would recognise in peace, as they had learnt to recognise in war, that the British Empire was, a reality. They could not afford, in commerce any more than in war, to treat nations living under the British Flag as if that Flag had no *meaning.

Under the existing system, England had dissipated an enormous amount of its economic strength which might have been conserved within the Empire and would have helped them in time of need."

He believed that if the British Empire were broken up it would mean the snai ead of any hope of an organised League of Nations. The more the Empire was effectively united, the greater would be its contribution towards the maintenance: of the peace of the world.

LONDON, June 18ła Entertained to lunch by the Empire Producers' Organisation in London to day, Lord Milzer presiding, Mr. W. M. Hughes urged that the economic policy of Britain should now be more clearly declared

Imperial preference might be the be- ginning of a great thing, but of itself it was meaningless and would not turn the scale by a fraction of a hair's breadth in the manufactures of Britain.

Failing a definite policy, it was cor tain that Germany would comparatively soon regain her hold on the resources of the Empire and the world, and the war would have been fought almost vainly.

The Empira could be made i place worthy of the men who had saved it. The workers' demands were just. Better con- ditions could be satisfied only by a policy which would ensure the development of the Empire's

great resoⱭTOPS, Unless a definite policy was adopted, giving British manufacturers preference. in the Home market and giving the Dominions & larger market within the Empire for their raw materials, not only would Imperial trad suffer, but the Empire would tend to disintegrate

IRISH AMERICAN CHARGES DENIED.

LONDON, June 18th," The report of the Irish Americane, Mizers. Walsh and Dunn, which con- tained a series of most virulent charges against the Irish Government, the police, the prison warders and the military, and, which enjoyed a full week's free run in America, where it caused a great sens tion, has provoked "much anti-British bitterness.

The official rejoinder issued last night" is essentially, a dispassionate document It places each charge and the reply

In parallel columns.

The replice mainly consist of the de claration: This is wholly untrue or This is absolutely, base lens, with ex planations disproving, the allegations."

Certain warmth of language, ie, dis played in one case only, where a charge is described as deliberate and wicked Falsehood." This reinted to allegations of

British unprovoked assault be at English Colonel and a crowd of soldiers on Profesor MoNeill.

The rejoinder cites, effectively, a speech by the late Mr. John Redmond in 1915, testifying to the prosperity and happiness of Ireland, and the report of Mr. Justice Dodd, disposing of the chargos in regard. to the treatment of Sinn Feinners in Belfast Prison in June; 1913. 14

It was to the effect „that so far as the present systen WES concerted minor improvements only remained to be carried out.

Hon. Mr. Alabaster said he under- stood the matter was gone into some years ago and it was then considered that one incinerator would not be sufficient. The erection of two in- enerators was thought recERBATY, bus the price at that time was con- sidered excessive and nothing wus done. The prices now would be higher.

The Chamnan stated that they had a summary of the figures, when the report was discussed. The re- port, however, would be sent back to the D.PW. and then re-cir culated.

The Director of Public Works minuted: Motor refuse carts are generally regarded as very unecon- cnica o account of the frequent topping and acting required in con nection with the codection of refuse. The present system of collection and disposal is economical, und, with the provision of suitable pier accommoda- ten, would be afficient.
