OTTAWA PREFERENCES
MARGIN ON PAPER SHEETS TIMBER AND FLAX PROPOSALS Two proposals concerning preference, included in the statement on Ottawa results made in Parliament on Thursday, did not appear in the telegraphed summary published. The first referred to duties on writing and printing paper, the second to flax fibre arid timber. The pasdealing with them were as follows: "We are also proposing to grant the United Kingdom a preference of 10 per cent, on writing and printing paper in large sheets (they already have the preference on small sheets), and this will be given by imposing 10 per cent on foreign paper. "We have agreed that the use of New Zealand flax and other Empire-grown fibres, in preference to foreign supplies which are now used fairly extensively, should be encouraged on a reciprocal basis; we have also agreed to encourage by means of preference the importation of timber, of qualities not produced in our own forests, which is at present obtained from foreign countries."
