Tho Geneva correspondent of the “Daib* Telegraph” states that at the Customs Conference, delegates of Brazil and Uruguay asked Britain for an explicit statement that she did not intend to discriminate in favour of the dominions, to the prejudice of the contracting parties in connection with Article o of the Convention. The British delegates replied that the Imperial fiscal policy was outside the sphere of the Conference. After an assurance had been given that there would be no unjust discrimination, tho demand was withdrawn. The Uruguayan delegate was mostly concerned over the export of meat, in which Australia might become a serious competitor if Mr Bruce's plan waa adopted by the Imperial Conference.
