Ward Defends Free Trade View On Colonial Prices
Sir Joseph Ward argued that colonial preferenc es did not raise consumer prices due to competition among British merchants undercutting foreign rivals. He warned British trade with Australia and New Zealand was rising while overall trade with the Continent narrowed, urging practical measures to sustain British influence as he noted India and Germany far exceed colonial buyers.
