EMPIRE TRADE.
PREFERENCE IN DOMINIONS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT OTTAWA, Oct. 13. Mr R. B. Orchard, of Australia, addressing the Export Club of Montreal, said that since Britain had rejected the plans of the Dominions for Imperial preference the Dominions must plan for themselves a system of such preferences, of which the Canadian-Aus-tralian agreement was the beginning. The acting-Minister for Finance (Mr Robb) said Canada had started the idea of preferential trade within the Empire. “We have waited twenty-five years for the other Dominions to join with us,” lie said, "and I am glad that after many efforts Australia has cofne in, though the arrangement is not perhaps as wide as 1 might have hoped for.”
