Mr. Rasciman (President of the Board of Trade) mid if the Japanvi Empire husbanded its remarces they would out-last the enemy. Then almost irreparable disaster would befall Germany. He ex pressed the opinion that as the Dominions were determined to raÏNG revenus and foster industries in their own way, we must dismiss the ides of Free Trade within the Empire. He thought the same ze- garding & Z.Ilverein; including the Allies Nevertheless, he was prepared to make any arrangement to end the war successfully. The Empire was capable of recuperating faster than other countries Consequently they must aid the Alfies in the fatura and must make ir clear when pesce was signed that Germany would never again be permitted to make sa economic war on her neighbours. A good deal had been done in developing the trade in which Germany formerly had a monopoly. Mr. Ranchman emphasised the necessity of improving research education I methods and the extension of commercial banking. The Board of Trade was looking ahead and bad sought the co-operation of the Dominions. There had been nothing more whole-hearted than the support the Dominions had! given in the supply of metala. As regards shipping, no privilege Straits-Per TONGHONG, 14th Jan, @hould be given which was not enj wed by our ships. Mr. Hewins' resolution was adopted without a division.
