CANADA AND NEW Z EAL AND.

RECIPROCAL TARIFFS. (Fhoii Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, October IS.

Yealciday morning I had the pleasure ot a chat with Sir Charles Tupper, the wellknown Canadian politician, upon the relationship existing and that which might exist betr. cci. the various portions of the British Empiie. Ho far as the Australian Federation iariff is concerned, he said that so far as he was able to iudge lip thought the "eneral principles of that tariff " entirely sound,"' and he siucerely hoped that the policy embodied in it would be sustained. He advocated strongly a preferential tariff within the British Empire.

" Was Canada =till leady to grant such a tariff? " I a&ked.

" Canada showed her readiness to adopt a recipiocal trade policy of that kind when she went in for a commercial treaty with New Zealand," was the reply- "That treaty was defeated in the ' New Zealand Legislature, but Canada is still willing." Havins; mentioned that Mv James Mill* would hse rhe Canadian Postmaster-general in regard to an " all-British route " for mails, I a<-ked Sir Charles what he thought of the Vancouver mail service scheme.

'' Most desirable," he rejoined. "Anything that would draw tlie outlying portions of the Empire closer together will be a source of strength to the Empire." "And you think the Canadian Government v. ill afford Mr Mills every assist-

'' No doubt, no doubt. ' said Sir Charlos. emphatically, in conclusion. "It would be a good tiling. And the Government of this countrj have shown ail along readiness to promote a policy of this kind. We are prepared to support strongly a fast Atlantic service between the Mother Country and the Dominion. That is a nolicy tc which Mr Chamberlain committed himself, and we on our part will do everything we can to link the Empire together."
