ECONOMIC UNITY OF THE EMPIRE

CHURCHILL AND BALDWIN'S FISCAL POLICY

"IF WE OBTAIN POWER"

Rugby, Yesterday. Mr. Winston Churchill, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the late full support to the declaration made on Conservative Government, has given Tuesday by Mr. Stanley Baldwin, tho Conservative ex-Premier, on fiscal policy. Writing to his constituents Mr. Churchill says: "I have always been opposed to the protective taxation of food for the purpose of uniting the Bri- tish Empire, because it seems, to me that any such polley, if imposed by a single party, would be liable to violent reversals most dangerous to Imperial concord. But the course which Mr. Baldwin has now proposed commands my keonest support.

The policy of the Conservative Party is that if and when we obtain power, we shall call a conference of represen. tatives of all parties of the Empire at which food duties in return for re- turing exports will be discussed in per- ciprocal advantages to our manufac-

fect freedom. If a good plan results from the labours of this conference, it will be submitted by referendum to the direct vote of the whole electorate, who' will then be able to adopt it or reject

it

“It seama to me that this is not only the best way but the only way of effec-| tively advancing towards the economic or fiscal unity of the Empire. It liber- ates the cause that we all have at heart from the thraldom of party strife and raises it to the high platform of national appeal."

Mr. Churchill went on to declare that hers at home the success of safeguard- Ing in carefully selected industries to which it had been applied justifies the extension freely to industries of all kinds. He added that the proceeds of the new safeguarding duties and also of the rovensa duties upon finished or nearly finished manufactured foreign Imports might be used give a mea. sure of recurity to British agriculture. He would, however, not anticipate the | statement to be made shortly by Mr. Baldwin upon this subject further than to say that the procedure by way of a minimum guarantee for certain crops and prohibition or import under licence of subsidised or dumped foodstuffs must be our main Immediate remedies for agricultural distress.
