EMPIRE PREFERENCE.
POSITION OP BRITISH PRODUCER.
(BT C4JBLI—PBB9B ASSOCIATION—COPTBIOHT), (AUSTBAUAX AJfD V.t. AKD BUM CABLZ.)
LONDON, July 18,
In the House of Lords, Lord StracMc and Lord Pamoor, apropos of the £1,000,000 grant for the Empire Marketing Board, protested against British agriculturists being taxed in order to advertise competing goods. The Marquis of Salisbury pointed out that Great Britain benefited by Dominion preferences and naturally the Dominions expected a reciprocal advantage. The people who we intended should Buffer were the foreign traders, not because we disliked them, but because we thought the produce of our own Empire should be preferred. There was no question that the fruit of Australia and New Zealand was competing with British, owing to the differences in seasons.
