ECONOMIC UNITY OF EXPORT CREDITS.

MR. BALDWIN AND COLONIAL SUGAR DUTIES

CONSERVATIVE IDEAL.

London, Yesterday, Safeguarding and the economic unity of the Empire were proclaimed by Mr. Stanley Baldwin at a Primrose League gathering at the Albert Hall as the planks of the Conservative platform for the next election. The Party had never lost protection as its ideal.

Giving an instance of the attitude of the Government in regard to Colonial sugar, he said that Mr. Snowden's view that sugar

and preferential duties might go was directly contrary to Con-1 servative opinion. If the Dominions showed that they wanted something in return which was obtainable by the taxation of foreign foodstuffs, Conser vatives, when next in office, would sub- mit a treaty for a clear cat, popular referendam. He emphasised that the country would not be asked to vote upon food taxes at the next election. Mr. Baldwin declared that the Party wa junited on the policy stated at the Hotel

Cecil on March 4.--Reuter.

[In a recent speech Mr. Baldwin said that he accepted the main pur- pose of the United Empire Party crusade of Lord Beaverbrook.}

A Bill is to be introduced by the Government to extend the operation of the export crodita scheme until March, 1935. Under the existing legislation the scheme lapses on September of next year. The extension has been decided upon in order to remove uncertainty from the and of exporters. This has been rendered the more necessary by the increasing number of exporters. who are having advantage of faci- litios provided for insuring against risk of bad debts abroad.
