 PLEA OF SIR GEDDES
British Ambassador Against Government Backing Competition

Mtnneapolis, Minn.. Nov. 4.--Am- erica and Great Britain must avoid national trade competition organ ized by government and supported by political action" Sir Auckland Geddes. British ambassador to the United States declared today in an address at a Chamber Of Commerce luncheon here.
 "rf tho United States or Great Britain. he said were 10 begin to or- ganise areas Of exclusive economic advantage there would inevitably como N clash of interests that would at least strain the friendly relations between tho two countries"
 Sir Auckland denied statements ap- bearing in American newspapers that American ships had been placed at n disadsantage with British ships by British government action. He de- clarod. however. not ''in any sense as a threat, however yelled. but as n matter of interest that if the Brit ish empire should adopt law pre- cisely similar to tho American law limiting coastwisc traffic to ships flying only It's own flag. there would be some far-reachinr arrangements in the business of non-Brftish shipping"
 We are not thinking at present of adopting any such law, he s added, flor our trade policy is based on the policy of fair trade and equal op- portmity.'"
 speaifnE not only as the smbassa- dor of England but as the represen- tativc of all the British dominions and colonies of -dnarter of the hu- man face." Sir Auckland said he had no heeitation in asserting that he misfepreseuted no opinion 6f im- portance, when he declared it was the wish of all tse British people to live in peace and amity with the United States and with "all the nations of lsse earth"
 T som8tiffies read in your news pA pefs," ne 'said, "of these subtle tevilish scnemes which the British government Is preparing with the ob- iect of preventing your trade eHpan- sion. | have been a member of the British cabinet. have been the min- Fster of thu crown responsible for the made policy ana activities of the government and assure you formally and without observation that the principle which unaeriies British trade policy is expressed in the five words: 'Fair trade and equal oppor- tunity.'"
