After the interview Sir Henry, in a speech, stated that Jap- anese goods which had been manufactured at a price so low that it was impossible for other countries to compete could not be allowed to overwhelm the markets of Australia Australia looked to the mother country and the other Dominions for an outlet for her products and would give preference to these comtries.
