EMPIRE PREFERENCE.
ITS IMPORTANCE TO BRITAIN. London Nov. 4. “We must be thankful that the dominions, when rebuffed by the Imperial Parliament, looked first to each other instead of succumbing to the temptation to make terms with foreign countries,” says the Empire Producers’ Association’s periodical “Production,” referring to the Australian-Canadian agreement. “Canada has immense quantities of raw materials, and is also in a better place for transport to Australia than Britain. It is an interesting illustration of the truth that the preference policy is of the greatest importance to Britain. It is not merely a case of Britain giving concessions to the dominions.” The “Production” points out that a 75 per eenc. qualifying preference to Australia and New Zealand will also benefit Canada, especially if the policy is adopted throughout the Empire, because it will compel American firms with assembly shops in Canada to undertake the complete manufacturing process there—(Sydney “Sun” cable).
