SNOWDEN SORRY BUT —
(Received 27th March, 1 p.m.) LONDON^ 26 tb March. A deputation representing the Empire's sugar industry urged on Mr. Snowden tho importance of maintaining preferences. Mr. Amery, introducing the deputation, said that the withdrawal of preference would virtually extinguish colonial production, and would be almost a disaster to the Dominions. Queensland's development would be brought to a standstill.
Mr. Snowden replied that the Government viewpoint had been made clear. It would maintain preference while the duty remained, but was not prepared to continue the duty in order to give preference.
Mr. Snowden said that ho appreciated the serious position of the industry, but he was not prepared to anticipate the Budget or make a promise regarding it. •
