PRIME MINISTER'S FISCAL

POLICY

MERCILESS ATTACKS OF FOREIGN COMEETITION.

PROTECTION ESSENTIAL.

There was a great gathering of Union ists in the Albert Hall, Swansea, on October 30th, to hear a speech by the Prime Minister, ja support of-Tariff Reforma. He said: "My one desire and my one intention is to endeavour to pro- tect the standard of life of our people, which is being supped to-day, by them ployment and by unfair competition. The menace to my mind will come from the competition of cheap and demoralised labour, not from the other nations of the world, but from demoralised Europe and for that situation it is the business of statesmen and of the people alike to be prepared." Mr. Baldwin invited his aliener to Look unto the sen, whence cometh your help." Characterising the Scean as the high road of the English- speaking people, he declared that it had always been and would alwayu te thy road of their migration and of their trade

A reference to the policy along which the Imperial Conference was working in an endeavour to find a solution to the political and reonomie problems which confront the Empire...

POINTS FROM THE SPEECH. The following are the outstanding points Lof the speech:

I am having the detailed application of the principles of the economic policy I announced at Plymouth carefully and thoroughly examined.

The changes which I propose for the purpose of fighting unemployment 1 he lieve to be essential.

We must not be exposed to the merei less attacks of foreign competition while our competitors can shield themselves behind the walls of their own high tariffs. The ideal of trade unionism, which is to preserve the standard of life, is be innate in a Briton, which can never be let go, and which ought never to he let

go.

The hope of industry Hea in this, that. each side will realise that its sectional interests, great as they may be, are la either case only half the whole.

The right way of looking at cheap pro- duction is in organisation und in manage- ment, and in not disturbing the Standard of life. If the standard of life is to he sacrificed the trade is not worth it

While the workman endeavours to pro tect the standard of life by his trade unionism. he yet leaves himself entirely unprotected against, attacks on his stan dard of life by free and unrestricted im ports produced by labour "with which he' cannot compete.

It is need a very lopsided form, of, protection that the trade enion gives him.?

The fortbadox Liberal forgets that the development of transport has completely upset half the premises on which the arguments for Free Trade were founded, and that a system introduced when steatis was in its childhood and before electrivity? hal been thought of is surely due fur révision in 1923.

The dream of universal Free Trule was but a dream and cannot be dreamed to: day.

With tariffs, as with anmanents, the aharned nation will never make un arp- ed nation disarm

With the foreign dumping the strain of keeping certain industries guing is suff, tient to break the hearts of any, but the stoutest.

The only thing I care for is to fight the unemployment evil and, if possible, con- quer. When the time comes to take my political life. in my hands, I ain prepared to stand or fall by that causė.

The changes which I have proposed for the fantastic folly it was. consider to be essential in fighting un-interest lay in the extension of inter- national freedom of trade. Trade was employment. ⠀

It was our business as a 'uation to stand for common. sepse in trade. He was bold enough to fear that the countries that now pursued. a protective policy would come to seo"] where the logic of that polley led them, and would realise that the economie inter dependencies of the nations required them to pursue a different policy.

t do not expect for a moment that any of the proposals which i shall take will receive the support, of orthodox Liberals, but I shall be very surprised if I fail to obtain some support in orthodox Labour. Labour is naturally protectionist..

LABOUR MP. ON PREFERENCE "A "FANTASTIC FOLLY.”

There were signs," said Mr Arthur Henderson, MP, speaking at Acerington on October 9th. that the Labour move- ment would be called upon presently to face the ecooomic issue in the double form of general scheme of Imperial Prefer ence and of protective tariffs to those industries which were suffering from for eign competition due to the Tow exchanges of the European countries which were still pursuing a policy of financial in

At the Imperial Economic Conference the question of Imperial Preference was linked up with the problem of organis ing migration within the Empire. The Labour party were not opposed to volun- tary emigration under proper safeguard, but they were opposed to any pality which nimed at a rapid redistribution of popug "lation within the Empire by means of State-aided schemes which simply trans ferred to the countries" overseas the problem of unemployment which con fronted his at home. This was one of the problems which they hoped to discuss with representatives of the Labour move. ment in the Dominions in an Inter- Dominion Labour Conference:

He would view with great alarm any development of economic policy which sought to divert the current of trade into Imperial channels by arbitrary inter ference with our present facal system. "Our efforts ought to be rather directed

to the economic restoration of Europe,! and to the establishment of stable, poli- tical conditions. The root of the trouble lay there. Behind the advocacy of Im- perial Preference was the belief that the. British Empire should be self-supporting, but the facts of world trade refuted that theory. Even if it ware true, it would. fake more than one generation to build up inter-Imperial trade to the point at which we should be able to absorb all that the Dominions could produce in food and (Continued on nezt column.)
