EMPIRE TRADE PREFERENCE At a meeting of the Council of the British Empire Producers’ Organisation, field in London recently, tfie chairman, Sir Benjamin Morgan, who had just returned from an Empire tour, said that whatever, difficulties, financial and economic, the Dominions were labouring under, he was op, tiinlstle concerning the future; but it was essential that there should bq further extensions of preference on both sides if Britain were to provide the market for their goods, and they were to continue to purchase British , manufactures. He thought they could hot go on any longer with voluntary preferences, and that these would have to be replaced by reciprocal commercial agreements negotiated in the ordinary way. Imperial preferences were now effective in some parts of the Empire and not in others, and a lot of the preferences given to British manufacturers in Dominion tariffs were only partially effective. They could only get to a condition of maximum co-operation by negotiated preferences. The work of the Empire Marketing Board was immensely appreciated overseas, but some assistance was required from Hint board and from the Department of Overseas Trade to organise shopping weeks for British manufactures tn the Dominions. Cooperation In industry was rapidly growing, and was leading the Dominions to more scientific production, grading and marketing. CUSTOMS. The Customs revenue collected at the port of Wellington yesterday totalled £6419. s
