A COMMERCIAL MAGNATE’S OPINIONS.
SIR ALBERT SPICER. ON IMPERIAL
TRADE.
United Pjiess Association —Copykigiit I • LONDON, Dec. 7.
A representative of the London “Daily Mail” interviewed Sir Albert Spicer on his return from Australia, where he had been taking part in the Empire Chambers of Commerce Conference. Sir Albert Spicer said that British trade was holding its own on the main, hut certain branches were a little slow in adapting themselves to the requirements of a new country. Australian commercial men were generally more travelled people than the British. During their trips to the Old Country they, kept their eyes open to what other countries were doing. He was much struck with the cosmopolitan character of buying. Tho British were apt to suffer from want of open-mindedness. Australians were always ready to look at anything worth attention. He intended to bring the subject of an Imperial Commercial Council before the London Chamber of Commerce.
