THE PREFERENCE RATIO. APPREHENSION IN BRITAIN. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Nov. 19. The decision of the New Zealand and Australian Governments to increase from 25 to 75 per cent, the proportion of British labour and material required before preference is granted, was received at Home with much apprehension. It is contended that in such articles as paper at least 60 per cent, must be •imported into England in the form of wood pulp, before the paper can be manufactured. It'is also pointed out that woollen goods are largely made from Colonia] wool, and while New Zealand recognises this Australia does not. To meet the case, as regards paper, the Minister of Customs lias decided ■that until April, 1026, paper wholly made in Great Britain or other British possessions from foreign pulp shall be excepted.
