"A HORNETS' NEST"
LONDON, 12th October. Mr. Bruce, in an interview^ in reply to a suggestion that he had raised a hornets' nest in Free-Trade England, said he supposed he had, but that could not be helped. Perhaps it was not a bad thing that there should be a stirring-up. The very essence of the Conference was that delegates should freely express sentiments in regard to matters of Empire interest. He declined to comment on an apparently inspired newspaper paragraph that the Dominion representatives assumed that, beyond minor- adjustments there was no hope of Britain extending preference, or that she would deal with other commodities than those already agreed upon.
jir. Alassey expressed himself on the sirne point as not over sanguine that j>.-i.."erence on other products would be umceded.
