IMPERIAL PREFERENCE
POSITION OF MANDATED TERRITORIES. QUESTION IN COMMONS. London, Aug. 2. In the House of Commons Mr. W. G. Ormsby-Go re (Under-Secretary for the Colonies) replied in the negative to a question whether the Imperial Conference would consider the difficulties of extending Imperial Preference, arising from the fact that mandated territories were at present prohibited from reciprocating in any Customs preferences that they might be granted by other parts of the Empire. He explained that the terms of the mandates were unalterable without the unanimous decision of the League of Nations Council.—Reuter.
