TRADE BARRIERS
BRITISH NEGOTIATIONS
FAVOURED NATION RIGHTS
British "Wireless RUGBY, Nov. 15 The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, Dr. E. L. Burgin, was asked in the House of Commons whether the Government was prepared to consider abandoning tho principle of the most-favoured-nation clause in existing negotiations for the reduction of trade barriers.
In reply the Minister said he could not anticipate the course of commercial negotiations with foreign countries, but if satisfactory arrangements could bo reached, there was no present intention on the part of Britain to abandon her present most-favoured-nation rights. Replying to a further question Dr. Burgin said the desirability of increasing the sale of British coal abroad would not be overlooked in negotiations.
