AUSTRALIAN VIEWS ON PREFERENCE.
Press Association —Copyright. Melbourne, May 7. At a meeting of the Chamber of Manufacturers, Mr Joshua, president, declared that if, as their opponents said, preferential trade and protection could not exist i;ogether, then they were not preferential traders. If preference was dead he did not think many people in Austraial would pass sleepless nights in consequence. It was quite true that they would howl down any proposal made to reduce duties, because the present duties were in many respects a mockery of protection. They had reason to be proud of the manner in which Mr Deakin was representing them, but it might be he was a shade too enthusiastic, and had slightly overstated the question if he led the British people to believe Australians were hungering and thirsting for preference.
