LONDON, June 18. The Trade Commission discussed a memorandum which will be distributed in the United Kingdom and the dominions, putting certain questions. New Zealand was unrepresented.

The Morning Post hints that there E a marked difference of opinion among members as to whether the terms of reference authorise the Commission to deal with preferential tariffs between •the dominions.
