OUR CABARET

In India before the war there was A duty of 3 per rent, on imported cotton goods, and an excise duty of the same; amount on Indian cotton manufactures. At that time our export to Indin was three times greater than, the local pro- duction. Now the duty against imported cotton goods had been put up to fi per cert.. the excise remaining at 3 per cent. And what was the result? The local cotton manfacture, ball risen enormously, at the cost of the consumer, and was now bigger by one-third than our expert. At the same time the local purchaser, having to pay the duty, as well as the cost of the article, got less for every rupee he spent and thus gave Jess employment to the cotton industry as a whole. The higher cast also drove him to buy cheaper goods, which told not only in favour of the local Indian manufacturer but also in favour of some of. var competitors, such as Japan. The Indian tariff thus reduced, the purchas ing power of the Indian market, and reduced it in a way particularly harm Change of Programme Nightly ful to Lancashire, which wanted to sell goods of higher quality,

Amid the black clouds of protection) which were settling down sa heavily over our trade, the British Empire was a patch of blue and hopeful sky. In the Empire, or in many parts of it, our trade enjoyed a privileged position owing to the preferences which were given as by the Dominions. That preferenci the only movement in mowenient favour of lower tariffs, and towards free trade, visible in any part of the world. The great Dominions were al! believers in protection and they wanted to build up their own industries so far as they possibly could.

Trade co-operation was vital to our unity.

But unless we con bined to maintain and devedop that right, it would be challenged, and then our anity would be fundamentally impaired.
