Supplement to LAND & WATER 
April 13, 1916 
Mr. Dunlop heads a deputation. 
" In conclusion, I will summarise my points : 
(1) Hiere is annually a sum of more than 
£3,500,000 going out of this country in the 
purchase of foreign-made tyres. 
(2) There is an ample supply of British built 
tyres to meet all legitimate demands without the 
importation of a single foreign tyre. 
(3) Foreign tyres, on account of their bulk, 
occupy an appreciable amount of valuable space 
and thus accentuate the existing shortage of 
shipping. 
I submit, therefore, that on these three counts, 
the free import of foreign tyres at the present 
juncture is economically unsound and contrary 
to national interests."
