IMPERIAL TRADE.
SIR W. LYNE’S PROPOSALS. LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
United Presß Association —Copyright Received August 13, 0.26 a.m. LONDON, August 12. The Morning Leader says that Sir Wm. Lyne’s proposals are on the same lines as the much-advertised preference scheme Mr. Seddon devised for New Zealand. While the latter should be considered as an offer and the former (as the” Sydney correspondent of the Times declares) as the Federal Government’s reply, the British Ministry is banging the door.
“We fail to understand,” the Daily Chronicle declares, . “why the tariff wall is raised against the foreigner and not lowered to Britain.”
The Morning Post says the Freetrader’s argument that the concession is valueless owing to protective duties might be used in regard to other protected markets where the expansion of British trade mas triumphantly emphasised by these critics. The paper adds: —“It may be expected that Mr. Deakin’s preference will do much to check the tendency of Australians to transfer their patronage to other lands and competitors.
