PREFERENTIAL TRADE.
AUSTRALIA AND GERMANY.
A THREATENED REPRISAL. ''.r Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received September 17, 11.10 p.m.) Berlin, September 17. The German newspapers reproduce an article from Yolkswirtschaftliche Korrespondenz, urging reprisals against Australia if a 10 per cent, preference to the Motherland is enforced. The article adds "Shippers and exporters expect the Government in that event to apply the autonomous tariff to Australia in the same way as it is applied to Canadian goods." London", September 17. The Morning Post states that German statistics show that German exports to Canada decreased from 38,750,000 marks in 1002. to 23,250,000 in 1905, and exports from Canada to Germany increased from £0,000,000 to £9,750,000 during the same period.
When, in 1897, Canada decided to give preference to the Mother Country, Lord Salisbury denounced the commercial treaty with Germany, under which it was provided that German goods should not pay higher duties in the colonies than those paid by Great Britain. There was then a tariif war between Germany and Canada, in the course of which the former enforced the general or penalty tariff in place of the conventional or treaty tariff against lie Dominion.
