WALES' TRADE TALK REPORT GARBLED Misunderstanding Due to Leaving Four Words Out of Press Dispatches. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 14.—Some bternporary misunderstanding was caused by & ref- erence to “tariff walls” in the speech delivered by the Prince of Wales at Manchester Tuesday. The omission of four little words in the report published in several London aft:rnoon papers led to some interpretations that the prince had advocated tariff walls for Great Britain, \vhereliwhe actually had made no such sugges! A leading news agency in originally reporting tane text of the speech quoted the prince as remarking that cutting off of supplies from neutral countries dur- ing the war had affected these countries with a desire to foster by means of tar- iff barriers their own manufacturers. It _continued by reporting the prince as follows: “We must, gentlemen, realize this de- sire is increasing year by year and con- sequently export trade of many of our manufactured articles is very seriously threatened. I think, and I am sure you think, we have come to a point where we have to consider most carefully the ad- visability in many cases of manufac- turing inside tariff walls and thus at least insure a flow of British raw- ma- terials.” ‘This text was carried in the evening papers and some readers were inclined | 10 interpret it as meaning the Prince of | Wi had advocated establishment of tariff walls for Great Britain. The official version of the address, xmvmer ‘mxooed the prince as saying: have come to a point here we must consider carefully the advisability of in many cases manu- facturing in those countries inside their tariff walls and thus insuring a flow of British raw materials.” POLICEMAN INJURED Motor Cycle Policeman William H.
