We have approached these pro- blems from the point of view of what is best for Australia in the belief that the permanent increase of Australia’s prosperity and productivity is an sssential condition of increased trade with Great Britain. 7. Arrangements for reciprocal trade preference between the two nations are hindered at the outset by Great Britain's policy of free imports and bv Australia’s policy of tariffs im- posed to develop and protect her own ‘ndustries; and, further, it must be borne in mind that Great Britain can- uot give preferential treatment to tustralia without extending similar treatment to the other parts of the Bmpire, 8. We believe that reciprocal trade is not only an ideal but a necessity and, therefore, that each nation should be prepared to meet such costs
