BRITAIN AND CANADA.
Trade Parleys Complicated by U.S. Preferences. —: REVISION OF TREATY. (Received 9.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 1. The Ottawa correspondent of the "New York Times" says Canada's unwillingness to jeopardise the chances of extending the present treaty with tho United States by meeting the British request to make permanent preferences in the Anglo-Canadian trade agreement now in process of revision, is delaying the otherwise completed pact. The President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Walter Bunciman, is to • visit Ottawa in a fortnight, ostensibly for private reasons, but actually to iron out the difficulty. The British negotiators claim that their preferential position was weakened by the American treaty and they want a guaranteed margin of preference. This the Canadian Government is not willing to do if it can avoid it.
