Anglo-Australia Trade Parleys

London, July 21

The United Kingdom Ministers rec-agnize that, in the interests of both countries and the British Empire as a whole, it is desirable that Australia achieve, as soon as possible, a substantial increase in her population, and that this necessitates the progress sive development of Australian secondary interests.

This is among the conclusions reached in the trade discussions with the Australian Ministers, now in London, which were issued last evening as a White Paper.

The common interests of Great Britain and Australia, in the spheres of defence, are also taken into consideration by the memorandum, which has, as its foundation, the continuance of the Ottawa Agreement of 1932
