DEBT TO DOMINIONS
FOOD FOR BRITAIN IMPERIAL PREFERENCE (9 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 13. Replying to a question as to whether, in view of the assistance rendered .to Britain by the Dominions during the present food crisis, the Government would give an assurance that it would favourably consider the maintenance of imperial preference to the Dominion countries the Prime Minister, Mr. C. R. Attlee, acknowledging the Dominion's efforts, said the Government would take every opportunity to express its gratitude more fully. It had been made clear already that there was no question of a reduction of imperial preference except as part of mutually satisfactory arrangements of all the parties concerned. The questioner, Mr. Rupert de la Bere, said that never before had there been such a wonderful resp. nse from the Don.inions to the n-.cds of Ihe Mother Country. Mr. Attlee said that was what he was endeavouring, perhaps inadequately, to say.
