PREFERENTIAL TRADE.
PRESS COMMENT ON MR. CHURCHILL'S SPEECH. By Telegraph.—Press Association.— (■Received .Tune 4. 10.42 p.m.) London, .Tune 4. The Times, commenting on Mr. Churchill's speech at the West Australian dinner, refers to his significant admission of the value of reciprocal trade. It infers from his speech that there ft is nothing to prevent a reciprocal adjustment with India, and the colonies in regard to tea, tobacco, sugar, wine, and dried fruits, on which heavy duties are levied in the United Kingdom. It adds : " The speech indicates a desire on the part of the Government to take a more statesmanlike line on Imperial questions. Though the Government is pledged to oppose Imperial preference, the idea of Imperial unity is steadily and silently .growing. The speech sets aside the foolish talk about 'sordid bonds.' '"'
