Manchester, Nov. 2nd.—Mr. Buldwin in his speech heire "tor:zht declared that drastic measures weré required to solve Great Britain’s problem of widespread unemployment. He had never been a doctrinaire economist and he regarded the economic system as one of expedi- ency, rather than principle, bnt he add- ed, ‘‘the perio¢ of observation is past. I find myself here with my mind made up that if we ave to attack . e problem of unemployment we must have reccurse to radical and drastic measures’’. 'the Prime Minister also developed his pro- tcetionist policy somewhat further. He sai! he propesed to'put a tax on manu- factured geods, with special regard- 9 those imports which caused the greatest amount of unemployment, to give sub- stai..cinl preference to the Domirions but not to tax meat. What he argued, he declared, was that the Government was dealing with an ahsolutely new postwar problem, for which .~nthing bhefore the war, served as any ginide. “"We are liv- ing in a camouflagedpeace and no war in our history has had such ecopomic re- actinns as the late war’’ said the Pre- mier. ‘‘Nobody is able to predict when stability will return to Kurope. There- fore Great Bri 2in must rely upon itself and look to .its own future, We shall never make other nations lower their tariff by waiting’’. Declaring that the exportation of cottor spinning machinery to the Far Eastthad puta weapon in competition into the bands of cheap la- bour, Mr. Baldwin {said. As long as 1 have the responsibility of Government I shall never be satisfied until we have so developed our Empire that we shall be absolutely independent of America with regard fto cotton growing”. The Premier said he believed the Empire could grow sugar and tobaeco, not only to satisfy its own needs, but to cheapen them to the rest of the world and thus ease the burden on Great Britain’s shoulders. Declaring his ideal was one great Empire with free trade, within its borders and every part regarding itselt as one nation Mr. Baldwin added. "'we can reach that ideal by binding the Empire togeiher -economically. By establishing - preference throughout the Empire, you are doing nothing against the principles of {ree trade, but are making trade freer over a ereater area. What the Uuited States achieved, the Commonwealth of British Nations with superior resources .can achieve’’. Generaily alluding to the intended -means for developing agricul- ture and providing by improved methods for insurance against unemployment, the Premier said.''it is an integral part of 7{ policy to devote a portion of the new of venue to pus-hing ahead in development 45 it has rever been done bafre’”. Ih2 Premier ciosed with a statement herald- ino not distant elections, saving, ‘I have told you the methods by which I promise to meet the problems of the day. Let others say how they would ser oat to achieve the end we all have in view and then let the eountry deeid:"". Halifax. N. S.
