EMPIRE PREFERENCES.
KINDLY FEELING NEEDED. APPRECIATING HOME POLICY. [BY TELEURAFH. —rRKSS ASSOCIAitON ] HAWERA, Tuesday. In an interview, Sir James Parr endorsed the suggestion made by Mr. G. A. Duncan, well known in dairying circles that primary producers should confer and decide which British articles they considered should be granted tariff preference, a s an expression of appreciation of Britain's action in granting a 10 per cent, preference to the Dominions. "I am confident," said Sir James, "that the British people would value an expression of gratitude from the primary producers. We need to encourage a kindly feeling between the Homeland and ourselves, so that both Governments may go to the Ottawa Conference with the best possible prospects of making a great trade treaty. I do not see how our Government can be represented at that conference without first getting the opinion of this primary producers on the tariff question. "I suggest that a cablegram of appreciation from the dairying interests bp sent to Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer. That would strengthen the hands of our friends in London."
