T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) London, Aug. 8.--S8ir Percy Lor- aine, new British high commission- er to Egypt, was the logical succes gor to Lord Lloyd in the opinion of those well-informed in diploma- tic circles. In view of the fact that Sir Percy assumes office at perhaps the most important point in the history of British relations with Egypt, when a new treaty is being promulgated, it is interest ing to note that he has adopted diplomacy as his sole profession, whereas Lord Lloyd had experience not only of diplomacy but of ad- venturous war service, work in the great bank bearing his name and 8 years in parliament. Sir Percy, 'who is 49 years of age, entered the diplomatic service by competitive examination and was appointed to the Constantin- ople embassy in 1904. In the fol- lowing year he was granted a spe- cial allowance for his knowledge of Turkish and later went to Teheran, also earning a special allowance for his knowledge of Persian. He then served in Pekin, Paris and Rome. He was British minister to Persia from 1921 to 1926 and since then British minister to Greece.

London Times Discusses Idea of Empire Free Trade London, Aug. 8.--"It would be deplorable if through any imper- fect understanding of the facts of the case political rivals in Great Britain shoud pit themselves against each other on such. issues," says the Times today in an editor- ial on Empire trade. Discussing the idea of Empire free trade the Times points out Australia raises about $200,000,000 annually, Candda $150,000,000 and South America $50,000,000 in cus- toms duties. 'They would clearly be reluctant to abandon such a cun- siderable part of their revenues," the Times continues, * Furthermore the British electorate has repeated- ly shown they would never consent to tariffs upon foodstuffs originat- ing outside the Empire." The Times,' however, mentions other approaches towards imperial economic unity. For instance; the organization on an imperial wcae of agricultural research and exten- sive propaganda in favor of voluu- tary preference in the buying of British ggods. It also mentions encouragement toward the creation of empire-wide industrial units suck as the imperial chemical 1n- dustrigy. A study of these -ap- proaches by a colonial office confer ence, imperial economic conference or the imperial' conference itself would afford an opportunity for fitting colonial representation into the machinery for considering, av imperial policy, the Times suggests. The Times concludes by pointing out existing preferences are "reck- oned highly" by the dominions and expressing the hope that Rt. sion. Philip Snowden, ~hancellor of the being removated for the Prince's occupancy at the end of the suin- mer, | exchequer, 'will "as a last resort pay more attention to their opin- ion than his own." .
